Once the protest is over, the same group of people will form a caravan to the southern border of the US for immediate access to the country. Also included is universal basic income, free healthcare, a one-way ticket to the city of their choice, voting rights and free education for their children in their native language.
I am from Panama, and no, these people won't walk to your border and enter your country. Down here we love our country and have no real reason for leaving. We use the dollar and even though some things are more expensive now, we have other stuff that is cheap, like renting (you can find a good place to live for $450 a month), electricity (I pay less than $10 a month, while people who use A/C's pay about $100), water (I pay $16 a month), food (we can find restaurants that charge less than $5 for a full meal), etc. So, no, we have no need to move to your country where we would have a really tough time, and life is, for the most part, shit.
Good to know. love&light
Interesting detail: Panama uses the US Dollar as its currency.
Panama also has a local currency called the Balboa, which is pegged one-to-one with the US Dollar, but in fact most transactions are actually handled in actual US Dollars rather than Balboas. Either way, the Balboa and the Dollar go up and down together, meaning OUR inflation is (in theory) exactly the same as the inflation in Panama.
Just as the rate of price inflation varies here from item to item, the same is surely true in Panama and there may be nation-specific factors that are hitting Panamanians harder -- a lower standard of living with less of a cushion to start with is one possibility.
Good they can take the canal from china
I feel for their people, but at the same time I want the Panama Canal blocked; anything to wake up the people of the world, including my wife.
That would be fantastic, but it wouldn't be easy to accomplish. The locks are huge and there are 3 sets of them located along the route, and would require a large amount of people to accomplish, or a large amount of boats to block both sides.
I hope it can fall up. It's sorta at the low spot now.
