Seriously? He lost over $400 billion?

Must be a mistake in the Fox News article. Has to be.

I was picturing a scene in No Country For Old Men. I don’t think I fully grasped what was going on down there.

Absolutely educational...and frightening. Our southern border is a war zone that has been ignored for too long.

I think I’ll watch it again since its on Prime.

The past years would have been different if we all had grasped what's really happening south of the border. But we have today and hopefully tomorrow to wake up and confront the evil that has metastasized.

(I agree)
You don’t become a billionaire without being smart and savvy. Carlos just might have a plan to work with Trump, we’ll have to wait and see. He actually might want to make Mexico great again (or for the first time), MMGFTFT, and make some bucks doing it.

Amen brother! To paraphrase the Apostle Paul, if a man doesn’t work he doesn’t eat.

I read once that due to the massive mobilization and control of men during WW1 the heroin addiction rate in the US dropped statistically to zero during that time.

I just thought I’d throw that out in light of your comment.

Why isn’t Slim using his knowledge and billions to help the forgotten people of Mexico like Trump is doing for America?

Because Trump gives a damn for his compatriots.

Interesting data point. How many times have we been warned how susceptible kids are to peer pressure and mob mentality and group think ? The longer they exist in an environment, the harder it is to see any alternative.

It isn’t reasonable to expect anyone to change their habits when they are surrounded by the same people that caused them to develop those habits in the first place. I can easily see a radical change like enlistment or draft especially under the stress of wartime as keeping people to focused on the changes to foster an addiction. Especially when a new environment takes them away from easy access to sources of drugs. I wonder if there is any evidence FDR’s public works programs had similar effect ?
