Place went to hell. Too many commies.
True story. Four American college women were starting a vacation to visit Mexico. The one I knew said the Mexican official as they entered said to one “You don’t know how expensive it is to live in Mexico these days.” She shrugged and said “Like everywhere I guess.” He repeated it but looked stern.
Her friend took her aside and said quietly: “Stupid. That’s where you give them a bribe. That’s what he means.” She said “What? He doesn’t deserve our money for being a corrupt SOB. I won’t pay anything.” Trip ended rather than battle the authorities further.
I wonder how their reparations program is coming along. Last I heard they had only committed 2 million toward it.
They also passed a resolution to celebrate Juneteenth as the day slavery ended. Very strange. That wasn’t the date it ended. It was the date that some people found out about it.
