"But hear this and pay attention: the Mexicans there sustain the economy of the United States --- in the fields, in services, and everywhere!
"The United States would not be what it is except for a hardworking community that goes there to help. And so ... they will always receive our support and solidarity."
"And if they come back to Mexico, they come back with our arms open to give them all they deserve because they are generous and one with us, as are the Mixtec people."
I guess it's some local event in the Mixtec area (south central part of the country). She's grandstanding to the locals, being overly presumptuous about the US needing Mexican labor, but it sounds like a speech about how they need to get ready to welcome people home. Which obviously they do.
She's nailing that fashion fusion though, adorned with equal parts Evo Morales and millionaire feudal landowner garb. I'm getting the "if Joan Baez were a dictator" vibe. What a show.
The Red, White & Blue kinds!
Lots of brands, here's one: https://www.stonewallkitchen.com/red-white-blue-tricolor-popcorn-kernels-371603.html
I think tracking by hours only makes sense if the hours are an accurate reflection of the time difference between when he made the statement and the time of the post. In other words, the hours aren't going to match unless you round up to a full day. It's interesting though. If there are more deltas like this, could be a real thing.
As I said, every case is different. But I've seen plenty of cases of people that have risen to a level of prosperity by leveraging corruption in another country, and then coming over here expecting and promoting similar corruption here, supplanting the idea of a meritocracy. With enough saturation from another culture, enough expectation of corruption, the corruption becomes the standard. I've seen plenty of immigrant neighborhoods where government grift is disgustingly rife.
If they are bound to the culture the immigration is manageable. But when there is no bond, it easily can be an adversarial or at least clannish relationship.
People speaking another language isn't wrong just by itself, but a large percentage of people who can't understand each other is one indicator that the people who actually built the country have been taken advantage of.
Being priced out of a neighborhood by gentrification is acceptable if everyone agrees to the economic terms by which it takes place. But if all the new gentry are foreigners who don't integrate (speaking another language is one indicator), it points to conquest of the old system by a new foreign one. That's the part I don't like.
Obviously I don't know this case, and whether this lady has usurped her way into some of the best real estate in the land, or if she's a solid hard-working contributor. I generally like to assume the best of people. I'm sure if I spoke Slovenian in Los Angeles, I'd relish the rare opportunity to actually use it in conversation.
The doctors guard their monopolies. Eyeglasses are another one ... you have the same prescription for years, but in some states opticians can't fill the prescription unless it's within 2 years.
I've used insulin for many years, but the pharmacy won't fill it without a prescription. Limited refills, so you need to pay the toll booth of another BS doctor visit.
Good for Melania.
That said, I'm not too keen that a huge portion of residents in places like Beverly Hills and Pacific Palisades speak other languages in preference over English. Individual cases are all unique, but overall it's a symptom of our country having been sold out over decades to other countries. Farsi, Hebrew, Chinese, Russian and even British accents are all overrepresented in the priciest neighborhoods.
Nah, it'll never be portrayed that way: the Mexican politicians all pretend they hate the cartels despite being in their pockets, and they'll have a hard time reversing themselves publicly because the public hates the cartels as they should ... more good than bad.
Lots of ways, but he's concentrating on the expensive ones. ECMO will definitely do the trick, tho!
