How can the capital threaten itself?

Sinkholes Threaten Mexican Capital

Nadda problemo.
They can just move to the northern suburb of Mexico City.
Los Angeles.

[kinoxi]

the left-leaning...City officials say they are frustrated that federal officials haven't released disaster relief funds to fill in the cracks and abandoned mines or allowed the city to restructure its debt

They should get Nagin down there to show them how to milk the feds 'the right way'. I hate to make the comparison but...

[ThreePuttinDude]

Government officials often promoted the unregulated growth in return for captive votes.

HA HA HA, I just could't get past this line...LMAO

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

This highlights Mexico's poor record in public spending and infrastructure. Although I'm against government spending, the country could use new roads, highways, and a water system.

Bordered by two bodies of water in sub-tropical, sun-drenched paradise, you'd think Mexico would be one of the richest nations in the world.

Time to bring in some illegals to do the work Mexicans won't do!

[reagan_fanatic]

Sounds like a good excuse for a new Mexican holiday:

Sinkhole De Mayo...

[popdonnelly]

Sinkholes are kind of a metaphor for all of Mexico.

[GOP_Raider]

Well, that’s what you get when you build an entire city on top of a lake.

[Fitzcarraldo]

how come our wizards of industry have never went to mehico to enact an economic recovery plan?

[RJS1950]

A sinkhole from a sh!#hole, who would have thought it? The city was built on an ancient lake/marsh area, what do they expect?

[RichInOC]

[cue Peter Stormare as Wolfgang the VW Engineer]

“You know vat ve gonna do nowwwww?”
“No, Señor.”
“Unpimp your auto!”

[mad_as_he$$]

Wow they still have that problem in Los Angeles? Didn’t know that.

[Overtaxed]

"When the Aztecs moved here, they could have never imagined the problems (this location) would generate,"

It's the Aztecs' fault!

[Scarchin]

Simpsons Movie semi-SPOILER to follow -





Maybe they saw the Simpsons movie and are hatching a plan to get around a border fence. ;)

[Captainpaintball]

Sinkhole in the stinkhole.

[Enchante]

So what does happen when a cesspool gets swallowed up in a sinkhole?

[commish]

At some point nature will win — there willone day be a major earthquake during a period of heavy rain, and a good portion of Mexico City will probably liquify and sink.

[ElkGroveDan]

Maybe they could fill them in with all the disposable diapers their citizens have been dropping on American streets for the past 30+ years.

****”When the Aztecs moved here, they could have never imagined the problems (this location) would generate,” ****

Mexico City is collapsing into the fabled underground city of the Aztecs!
