Clearly, the Mexicans are quite fond of blaming their internal woes on anything and everything but themselves.

The Woman at the Pemex

excerpt:

My husband pulled our high-top white van with the dogs in the backseat into the Pemex, the ubiquitous gas stations of Baja California, Mexico. We were returning to the outskirts of La Paz, a busy little town that fronts a bay and is held in by the mountains. He spoke in Spanglish to the attendant about the price of gas as the van was serviced. I sat inside, drowsy from a day of walking along soft surf. From my side of the van, I watched a woman approach the car to the right of me. She moved towards it slowly, choosing it from all the other cars in line at the busy bays. The car was not a new model, the paint discolored from too much intense sun. When the older male passenger in the back seat got out to get something from the bright and modern looking convenience store, I could see that the upholstery had gone shabby. But the woman who approached the car seemed not to notice or make judgements on whether or not they were the sort of family that would want their car pampered. She was carrying a large yellow wash cloth made of microfiber and began to rub down the exterior of the vehicle with somber care.

It seems like just about every OTHER country on the planet depends on the USA for THEIR prosperity.

It’s about time these countries started to figure out a way to be prosperous without relying on the Washington kick backs. It’s as if all these nations are on welfare and the USA taxpayer is stuck paying the checks.

Pemex exists to pump oil, but more than merely pumping oil, Pemex exists to employ people.
