And to test new ideas to keep the war machine and fear of poor peasants taking over the US.

I too have written about the preposterous posturing that politicians use in lieu of serious thought but I won’t get into it because you’ve done a bangup job of it here but I will add that I wish they’d all go beat their bullyboy chests in private but then again crude public ignorance is the point these days so they wouldn’t’ hear me out anyway and meanwhile I will continue to walk in Centro, Chapalita (one of my favorites) and Tlaquepaque when I’m in Guadalajara plus the boulevard you mentioned closed to traffic on Sunday because I too prefer to enjoy what Mexico has to offer rather than focus on the negative but if someone needs to fine me for the illegal manufacture of runon sentences then I guess I’ll have no choice but to cough up the dough for I am indeed guilty. Thanks for the article Mike!

Victor you are a force for good in the world runon sentences or no but if yes I will gladly start a gofundme to cover your fine if indeed fines are how the world chooses to acknowledge the brilliance that it cannot understand so thank you for the comment and for sparing me the horrors of gratuitous punctuation

Wow there’s a lot to unpack in there! I’ve recently been learning a bit about the strengthening Mexican economy as well. I did not realize they are such a big importer to the United States (and don’t need to import much in return), and are becoming the new most desirable location for manufacturing (Tesla announced opening a big plant in Monteray for example), and have extremely low unemployment (something close to 2% and without the exclusions that US bakes into their unemployment numbers). The I ncreasing strength of the Mexican middle class may be an interesting future article. ;-)
