  1. Faith and salvation are the selling points. For these evangelists, to be poor is good in the eyes of God. "Blessed are the poor, for they will be closer to God".

  2.  @Hunching-z8q  the cartel would've figured out by now that something being transported in a cover must be something very valuable and profitable, so it wont matter.

  3. What I find ridiculous was when she said that there is a so-called, "pet fee" included among her schedule of fees, "even if you own the trailer". So basically, her pets were also paying rent? Absurd!

  4. Despite that headache-inducing inflation, Argentina is still managing to avoid the fate that befell Sri Lanka and Venezuela. With prices nearly doubling, daily survival becomes a challenge.

  5. An interview that quickly turned into a debate. The reporter could have done better to get more answers instead of being confrontational right from the start.

  6. People are still in denial stage. 20 year mega drought? Should it last for 30 more years, will they call it "hyper drought"? LOL

  7. lebanon the new venezuela? nope. lebanon has no socialist/communist government, is not reliant on oil as export, is not under US sanctions, and, last but not the least, has not had inflation reaching up to 2 million percent. so how could it suffer the same fate?

  18. Simple procedure: Spend money for subsidies and free stuffs. Next, run out of money. Next, government goes bankrupt. Next, borrow money from international lenders. Next, spend the money on more free stuffs. Ad nauseam.

  20. Ignorance is bliss. Foreigners who believe that they know what's best for these tribes who have lived their lives in relative peace for thousands of years were actually the ones bringing disruption and trouble to their communities.

  21. The assembly that drafted it was dominated by progressives, leftists and 'woke' people. That was its undoing. Chileans basically distrusted the new constitution crafted by the same breed of people responsible for some absurd policies being applied in certain countries. The people of Chile might have grown sick and tired of the Pinochet-era constitution, but they don't want a situation that's amounts to "from the frying pan to the fire".

  22. It was overrun by gangs that the Haitian government couldn't control.

  25. When you get the two genders on each other's throat, you prevent them from procreating. Less birth, declining population.

  26.  @erossolano50  but could they realistically protect you from cartels armed to the teeth with those rifles?

  27. Russia's treatment of the Ukrainian kids seems far better than those of the Uyghurs in Xinjiang. At least, they allow the mothers to reunite with their children, and the childrens' body language were more spontaneous and more genuine than those of Uyghurs' fake and contrived behavior.

  28.  @illusions611  but with nothing but hunting rifles, how could these vigilantes even hope to match the cartels' firepower if the cartels decide to move against these checkpoints?

  29. El Salvador allowed bitcoin in their economy a couple of years ago and they seem to be doing fine.

  30. They know what's happening but don't want to say it loud. A taboo subject no one would touch first.

  31. Those are the so-called "anchor babies". Those pregnant migrants are counting that they would be giving birth in US soil so they would have automatic US citizenship.

  32. Switzerland is expensive, like Singapore. Only for the well-to-do hombres.

  37. There have been reports that the seas off the west coast are contaminated by toxic wastes, the reason why there seems to be no interest building desalination plans along that route.

  39.  Lovecraft  so you're saying a vigilante group is a cartel on its own right except in name only?

  40.  @kevray  just curious : if a cartel guy is dressed casual, how do you differentiate him from an ordinary civilian?
