Yes, I went on a run of them a few weeks ago after you posted them. Makes me think all this "caring about the world" stuff is a giant waste of time. We're fucked.
My new crazy idea is that we should invade Mexico a la Russia/Ukraine and build factories there to compete with China, give conquered Mexicans a path to full citizenship via an exploitive work program. Spend about 1 trillion in infrastructure to undercut the cartel's power.
Colombia and the rest of South America probably freaks out, because the cartels have to move to South America once our $$$/military moves in. Solves our outsourced manufacturing problem, immigration problem, and drug problem all in one fell swoop (and a ton of Mexican lives/pseudo-slave labor).
It probably saves America. At some point we've got to address the Mexico/Drug situation. Don't know how it gets solved absent invasion/takeover.
