    Yeah, this is literally where I'm standing. Everything I was warned about growing up has come in spades delivered by the system that was framed as the last stang against this nonsense. At this point, I'm genuinely hoping mexico becomes the next global super power because I can't trust any of the current regimes to have the best interest of humans.
