Mexico City has a population of over 9 million, and there is a maximum of 10k American “digital nomads” living in the city.
Mexicans respond with violent rioting.
Meanwhile, a quarter of all people with Mexican heritage live in the USA, and we're supposed to be fine with that.
Mexico City — Mexican nationalists, leftists & Antifa attacked businesses to demand that Americans & foreigners leave. They blame the foreigners for expensive housing costs. Their counterparts in US are also rioting, demanding borders be opened to them.
I was at the airport lounge the other day.
Of course the bathroom was being cleaned. I asked the cleaning woman, “Is there another bathroom?”
She responded in Spanish that she was cleaning the bathroom. I asked again, “Yes, but is there another bathroom somewhere?…”
She responded, “No hablo ingles.”
So, I switched to Spanish, “¿Hay otro baño que puedo usar?”
Then, in perfect English. “No, I'm sorry, there's not another bathroom.”
What's that about? I'm still thinking about it.
The Iliad and the Odyssey are mythologized stories about real ancient civilizations (Mycenaean Greeks and Trojans) who really did fight wars in the Bronze Age.
The ruins of both cities still exist. We have clay tablets from Hittites trying to mediate.
It's not Lord of the Rings
“Just log off and go outside. You'll feel better. It's not really that bad.”
Logs off. Goes outside.
Sees indeterminate foreigners and unhealthy, slovenly, rude and bizarre people everywhere.
Doesn't feel better.
