It’s interesting how ahead their government is with some things and behind it is with others (generally speaking they have a lot of crime in their larger cities).
It’s harder to take out crime when the organized crime is outfitted with similar gear to the army and the army is highly corrupt due to the cartel paying better.
America was fortunate that we were able to snuff out our organized crime before they had access to modern technology that made it near impossible to snuff out their movement.
It’s hard to arrest a group of cartel all at once if they never leave their heavily guarded fortresses for Sunday brunch like the mafia did
Another issue is that they’re civilians. You could bomb their facilities but bombing civilians, especially when they’re your own citizens, is a pretty bad look.
To an extent yes, but you’ll have a hard time finding many reasonable people to protest bombing military grade cartel facilities. Many innocent civilians have suffered at the cartels hands and governments the world over are familiar with the extent of the cartels crimes, I don’t think it’d be a significant problem.
You know what they say about eggs and omelets after all
More misinformation, eh? Really going all in with it, huh?
Marriage for same-sex couples nationwide was legalized by the Supreme Court of both countries: Mexico in August 2010, and the United States in June 2015.
As for socialized medicine, Mexico clearly has it, and the United States clearly does not.
A person with good ideas that leaves their religion at the door would be swell right now. Religion only divides us into smaller, scarier groups. (See: Christian nationalism, women’s rights, the middle east, etc.)
That said, it is a damn shame Bernie didn’t have a fair chance.
Not at all surprising to me. America is deeply reactionary. Made worse by the fact that our electoral system gives disproportionate representation to rural areas.
How the hell did Mexico get a Jewish president before the USA? We need to step up our game.
But also good on her and on Mexico. She sounds exactly like the sort of person I’d want running my country.
they also approved gay marriage and socialized medicine before we did & do
Same-sex marriage by two weeks (12 and 26 of June, 2015), so not exactly much.
how long on the socialized medicine?
Considering it hasn’t happened in the US yet…
“X years, Y months, Z days and 1 second”
“X years, Y months, Z days and 2 seconds”
“X years, Y months, Z days and 3 seconds”
“X years, Y months, Z days and 4 seconds”
“X years, Y months, Z days and 5 seconds”
“X years, Y months, Z days and 6 seconds”
…
Wish it was shorter, health care here is stupid. :(

Don’t disagree, it’s just fascinating to see it all play out.

there just aren’t that many places as racist as the good ol USA man.
You have a self-declared zionist in office now.
Mexico City had the world’s largest population of Jewish folks before Israel was created, iirc.
Huh, I definitely would’ve guessed it was New York City. I suppose I was mistaken about the ethnoreligious diversity of my neighboring country
We got close once. Unless you want to count Netanyahu

She has Jewish ancestry, but she’s said she does not practice religion.

Hell, how did Mexico get a female president before the USA wtf? Even South Korea did (okay that one sucked but it’s still baffling regarding the US)
