I’m glad I’m not the only one who immediately drew a comparison to New Orleans.

Of course, it really is much worse in Mexico City since they are sitting at the base of that huge volcano that is long overdue for a major eruption. I’m sure the more that thing shakes it just settles that sh!thole even further.

Are there no geologists with a braincell outside of the US? Why on earth would a city that is already built in a lakebed continue to pump water out of the aquifer directly under it? The part that really bothers me is that it will be our tax dollars that get poured into the impending hole to try to rescue survivors and rebuild for them.

They’ve been knowingly sinking their city for many years. I remember reading about the problems this would cause two decades ago and it was old news then. The volcano continually exacerbates the problem. I guess when the big collapse occurs they plan on sending the refugees north...
