Preppers’ PING!!
They are so screwed.
From the brief reports I’ve seen on the msm, it looks awful down there. I haven’t heard anything regarding what the State Dept is doing to get U.S. citizens home.
One day that technology trap is going to get us, the threads holding civilization together get thinner and thinner.
The Mexicans need to adopt exceptionalism and embrace personal responsibility.
Mexico is an extremely rich third world country. While not a total dictatorship, it’s pretty close being an oligarchy with an old European class social system.
The only reasons we tolerate them is 1) supposed cheap labor which, of course, is really paid for by the tax payers through welfare (suck it corporations and if we need cheap illegal labor then why does the gov’t keep raising the minimum wage?)
2) Oil. Mexico is still our #2 foreign oil supplier. Canada is #1. Venezuala is in the top five I believe. Which begs the question why so much Middle East involvment when, statistically, they are not a large supplier overall.
Hell, one ANWR and we don’t need Mexico on down. Keep Canada as a partner with pipelines and natural gas and nuclear electrical generation and to hell with everyone else.
Sheild Israel and let the rest burn.
Anyone who goes to Mexico should have their head examined. Toilet with killers.
Actually, it looks calm in Acapulco considering the power is out and the roads are blocked, preventing regular food from coming in.
On the other hand, there wasn’t any looting or panic that I’m aware of in Colorado. So I think the takeaway is that certain areas have the proclivity to act within character. Not to say it wouldn’t happen here, but I think this behavior is more likely to initiate quickly in areas already prone to that behavior. Even in Mexico here police said people were looting just to steal not to survive in any sense. But I know, given enough time, and most any situation will degrade. The issue is how rapidly will the decent occur.
“There’s Nothing to Eat”
