>> The wealth of the USA, looks like has vanished
No, not vanished. The foundation of wealth of the USA is in its people, their can-do attitude, and their hard work and perseverence and entrepreneurship.
I’m sorry to say, however, that the level of official corruption is increasing in the US. I shudder to think that if it gets ten times worse (or so), it might actually begin to approach the level of corruption in Mejico. How’s that working out for YOU, FRiend? :-)
Also, when you read this weepy little article, keep in mind that these are JOURNALISTS. They HAVE no real skills. No big loss to the country if they aren’t working.
Good point, indeed the true wealth of America is it’s hard entreprenuial people. Mejico... you know, I think things are slowly improving. Talked Monday to a young administrator of a hotel, his father was kidnapped, a brother. He cooperted with the kidnap squad, he was rather impressed with their GPS ability to track cell phones, their professional guiding him on how to deal with the Familia... I do honestly think there are some policemen who are doing their best. Bribes are very HIGH, and so often is the case, if the criminals can’t bribe the police, they’ll bribe the Ministerio Publico, DA...or the judges. But I see a glimmer of hope, and think that there is a rising awareness in Mexico that people want things cleaned up.... Everyone says kidnappings are down from a year ago, and extorn. Where they charge you a ‘fee’ to protect you from the thugs and Zetas.
