My in-laws in Monterrey are starting to get concerned about a very real civil war or a new Revolution.
Obragore has lots and lots of very poor people he has promised bolgna sandwiches to,as well as the Teacher's Union (which, as you know, is as powerful as the AFL-CIO in the George Meany days).
In the meantime, almost all external investment has come to a screetching halt.
I check in with the in laws pretty frequently -- they are standard middle class surburbanites, so I'll chip in with info "from the ground" where I can.
Thanks, I would like to hear what your in-laws have to say.
My husband and I lived in Mexico for a year and were thinking about staying but his retirement check was impossible to process through Mexican banks, in fact everything from renting to parking was an extreme problem, not to speak of telephone. You had to bribe everybody for everything.
My wife insists on us spending two weeks down there the last two weeks of August. Down around Leon and such. I am having bad feelings about this.
If civil war breaks out, the US will have to get involved. Problem is that Russia and China would sell (or give) weapons to AMLO and get in bed with him.
