unconsequential

Wow, that guy has to be the most menacing guy I’ve ever seen. I am so scared. The horrors. Absolute horrors. Menace to society. Bring it all down. Thank you! Thank you for keeping us safe! Society would surely collapse if we didn’t drag 52 year old janitors from their beds in the wee hours of the morning for sharing facebook posts. Phew I feel so much safer.

I would say give your countrymen (and especially women) some credit. Mexico has been marching steadily forward over the past decade or so. I met a lot of very competent people working very hard to better the country as a whole in my time studying there.

The roadblocks are many and the dangers can run high at times but that’s not stopping people. As it shouldn’t. Mexico is coming into her power. Just wait.

Even your remark, even if you feel a little beat down, is a testament to the times. Solid foundations aren’t built in a night. They’re hard fought and won with consistency. And what is Mexico if not resilient?

Take my money

Greece? What Greece? Where???

More like stupidity.

So good Mexico hasn’t learned about gloves yet… or you know… night time. Phew. Close one.

I am so SCARED. I mean just LOOK at this guy. Look at his socks! He’s clearly out to menace society. Phew. So glad those officers were there to set him straight and give him a good scolding. What would we do without these sorts of laws?! Society would just collapse. I’m sure of it.

To those asking about the imbalance— it’s money. Just like older forms of media (print, radio, tv) there’s much deeper pockets for right-wing “funding” than on the left. And many left leaning outlets/personalities will turn down cash flows that might limit their control over their content. Follow the money. Always.

Unfortunately boot licking Israel is a universal American quality. No single administration has a monopoly on it.

Only 16 mil? Are they doing ok? Should we be worried? /s

Anyone who is working on the next big project in his garage is just signing his own death certificate. That’s the truth about the American energy industry and capitalism’s free markets make “healthy competition economy” myth. Traditional American capitalism is long dead.

The last ones the one that matters most but their supporters can’t read a list that long in one sitting.

Eeyore and piglet

Holodeck haircuts??

Consenting adults at that

They don’t value life. Period. Any life. Including their own.

I just had another thought on this topic, since this is the Yucatán. The Golden era Mayans built up berms to build on for roads. They’re called sacbe/sacbeob and they were generally very straight from A to B. They loved grids. I imagine modern planners are well aware of historical contexts of the region as well, not mention potentially Mayan themselves. Beyond just the shortest route from point A to B is a straight line, there may be some other underlying context like someone suggested of ease of divvying up land and drawing contracts.

I left Mexico in 2016, so it’s been a minute. But urban planning was a big field with lots of hype for up and coming university students at the time. I’d imagine this is their handiwork as graduates now. I was also on the West coast. So, I don’t know much about the Yucatán or Vera Cruz etc.

Urban planning and zoning. They’re just planning in advance for urban sprawl and congestion. Mexico experienced a lot of growing pains (and preventable deaths) when its cities boomed and they haven’t forgotten.

Side rant: Where I used to live they zoned heavily for green areas for water absorption during rainy season and for sewage management bc it was low-lying tropical climate. Unfortunately, one big foreign hotel greasing palms and they’re building on top of a wildlife sanctuary necessary to prevent catastrophic flooding. Bye bye city buses full of people down the canal. But hey, ‘Mercia! Tourism! It brought me solace their fancy pool foundation shatters almost annually like clockwork and their pretty glass balconies kept popping from earth settling. Didn’t save the neighborhoods they destroyed by filling in a river delta though. Kept waiting for the “big one” earthquake that would bring that sucker down for good.

Dem der are da North Woods.
