AMLO finally achieves the infrastructure crown jewel of his presidency: un nuevo aéropuerto. Unfortunately, it happens to be on the outskirts of Mexico City so its not convenient and the majority of flights are cargo planes, unless you are an airline under sanctions due to being from Venezuela.

Financial Inclusion? Can we at least avoid the neo-Marxist lingo?
Migrants sending money home is a big part of this story in Latin America. Remittances are major sources of cash for many families – and economies – across the region. Salvadorans living outside their native land, for example, contribute some 24% of the country’s GDP – and transfers using Bitcoin or other non-national currencies are much cheaper than traditional services. Remittances in cryptocurrencies increased by 900% in 2021, according to Coinpay.cr, led by Mexicans in the U.S.
Cool.
The dirty rumor (I’m not thrilled with the source) is El Presidente DubeBro’s neighbor, Honduras, is next.
Meanwhile, in the poster child for hyperinflation for the past century:
The provision, entitled “Strengthening financial resilience,” says: “To further safeguard financial stability, we are taking important steps to discourage the use of cryptocurrencies with a view to preventing money laundering, informality and disintermediation.”
The letter of intent also describes that “while commercial banks remain liquid and well-capitalized, strong bank oversight will continue, especially following the unwinding of pandemic-related regulatory forbearance.”
Argentina also plans to continue its payment digitalization process “to improve the efficiency and costs of payments systems and cash management,” according to the letter of intent.
I like having them around as an example of what never to do.

They won’t. Although I’m not a big fan tattoos.

Most of it is. The big opaque thing is paint, but the rest looks like tattoos.
Open the image in a new tab and enjoy the show!
“Then their supreme court lifts the ban because this is the time of insanity.”
Shouldn’t they lift the ban?
I’m comfortable with the outcome
“To further safeguard financial stability, we are taking important steps to discourage the use of cryptocurrencies with a view to preventing money laundering, informality and disintermediation.”
Nothing says “we want to safeguard financial stability” like eliminating alternatives to the chronically unstable official currency.
Their financial stability, not the proles.

The last time I ran the Bay to Breakers in SF there were dozens of nude runners. One and only one looked good. The rest? The horror, the horror.

When I was on my trip to the Dominican Republic, there were a lot of women with skimpy swim suits. And almost all of them looked good. Of course there were a few Russian guys with speedos, but overall I felt very fortunate.
When I was last in Australia, I took a walk along the cliffs from Bondi to Coogee. There were only a handful of women sunbathing topless. All of them were women I wanted to see naked, and I think most men would agree with me.

social contagion
That’s not discussed all that often but, boy, does it look like a factor in oh so many issues over the years. It’s been much worse with the rise of social media.
I’ve mentioned this before, but you don’t put anorexic girls near each other in psychiatric hospitals. They will reinforce each others’ behavior. The transgender craze is very similar in nature.
Yep. My middle daughter, now 21, declared she was trans in high school. Coincidentally in a graduating class of 60, there happened to be half a dozen other trans kids. The whole thing smacks of “the latest thing”, but this time the damage done is more permanent than a piercing or tattoo.
“Coincidentally in a graduating class of 60, there happened to be half a dozen other trans kids.”
That’s about as likely as the school being hit by a meteor the same day the principal wins the mega millions jackpot.
Although, J.K. Rowling should probably shut up on this topic because she keeps saying wrong things, she is correct that female-to-masculine transitioning was much more rare than MTF, and there a number of very good reasons why it would be.
If you think “JK Rowling should shut up about this topic” I politely suggest that you read her entire essay I linked above.
You might find that you have been inadvertently influenced by misleading headlines and gotcha journalism regarding what she did and didn’t say.
I’m quite aware of what she did and didn’t say. Nor do I attribute all of her misstatements to bigotry. Much of it seemed to be her speaking out of ignorance or emotional reaction. If she just recently learned “that ten years ago, the majority of people wanting to transition to the opposite sex were male” then it’s hardly her realm of expertise. Just like Jesse Singal and Debora Soh probably haven’t spent much time studying how to write children’s books about wizards.

Uh….that is a September 2021 article.
Do you want the article with casreau in blackface or that he conspired with Communists to keep his socialists in power? I cant post both links in one post.
I chose the blackface article because its funnier to see and describe the tragedy that is his power sharing with commies.

“Double-vaccinated and boosted Jen Psaki tests positive for COVID for the second time in five months moments before White House briefing and is forced to cancel her trip to Europe with Biden”

Either the vaccine or the tests psuck.
Covid tests calling out of asses…
So that’s how Fauci does it.
“But her COVID would have been much worse if she wasn’t “vaccinated.”
I’m not a scientist but isn’t the idea of being vaccinated means that you won’t catch whatever you’re vaccinated for? I’m not even trying to be snarky, it’s a serious question.
Yes. The CDC had to change the definition because these aren’t vaccines.
That’s probably a popular impression but it’s not necessarily true for non-covid vaccines. I doubt there’s a vaccine with 100% efficacy.
From 1996, long before covid
https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Vaccines-used-in-the-EPI-2-.-1-The-target-diseases-Organization-Geneva/02b2e5dbb315bbb1ce5196d5b252d8cca870a54a/figure/4
Neither 100% efficacy nor lifelong protection for all vaccines.
Yeah, the gold standard for a vaccine is that it confers sterilizing immunity; most vaccines don’t, and some (like the mRNA vaxxes) appear to set up the recipients for negative efficacy down the road, due to either pathogenic priming (antibody-dependent enhancement [ADE]) or as a knock-on effect of original antigenic sin (OAS). There’s a reason that, up until our most recent insanity, most immunologists recommended that vaccines targeting a pandemic organism/virion only be administered after the pandemic had subsided into an endemic. We done fucked up bigly.
Or the negative efficacy is a statistical fluke.
It’s been a while since immunology, but I think vaccines provide a blueprint so your body can quickly spin up antibodies against the pathogen. This means you usually don’t display symptoms because your body fights off the pathogens quickly before it can multiply too fast.
If you had low levels of pathogens in your system before the antibodies spun up, I’d think a test would show positive. That goes for any infection from any pathogen we have vaccines for. The difference from other vaccines is that non-symptomatic people aren’t getting regular tests for the other pathogens.
Thanks! Always learning from this place.
Per Alex Berenson, the mRNA vaccines provide negative efficacy after several months. There is also the possibility these vaccines are guilty of “original antigenic sin.” Meaning there only utility was for one version of the virus and your body didn’t “learn” to fight off any other form.
“EXCLUSIVE: NYC’s elite are in a tizzy after Justice Department ‘inadvertently’ publishes list of 121 ‘clients’ – including lawyers, businessmen, and socialites – who solicited Sarah Lawrence ‘sex cult victim’ who was forced into prostitution”

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10640671/Larry-Ray-trial-VIDEO-GRABS.html
Huh. That’s exactly 121 more names than have been released by the Justice Dept as having travelled to Epstein’s pedo island. Funny how those crimes are so egregious and no one except Maxwell or Epstein has ever been charged. Convicted of sex trafficking, yet there doesn’t seem to have been any participants to those sexual acts besides the girls involved.
I look at it this way. If a guy down the street from you was arrested for having sex with underage girls, and it turns out he was having parties with those girls and a bunch of male friends, you can bet every person who ever set foot in that house would be under investigation. But of course that only applies to the serfs.
I’ve noticed that too.

Babylon Bee is now banning connections from my vpn. Want to take bets on whether they’ve been targeted for DDoSing by NATed bots?

You have more staying power than me. I just usually shut it off in frustration.

The real villains in this story.
Discovered that the local jail no longer provides mug shots due to recent state law. Despite the stated rationale that it’s so that arrestees are not stigmatized, I wonder if it’s partly a long run to allow habeas corpus violations by limiting or eliminating public information about who has been arrested by the state.
That’s much too clever. I’m sure it’s for woke reasons.
This. Oregon, right?
Yes, so very few of them would be black, right?
It probably is for woke reasons, but it likely will end up getting abused. I think most if not all European countries limit the information they release about arrestees to first name and first letter of the last name. I think the logic is that it protects the presumption of innocence, which makes sense, but it does conflict with habeas corpus.
It should be up to the arrestee in most cases how much info is released.

We’re not going back to the parks for a long time because they’re raising prices and dropping services. I know several frequent park-goers who are doing the same. They better remember where their money’s coming from.
they’re raising prices and dropping services
The Bosslady dropped our Disney passes after 20+ years for precisely that reason.
They better remember where their money’s coming from.
These days? Comic book movies marketed to Chinese audiences.
The movie business is small potatos in their portfolio. The parks are still the crutch that hold up the rest of the ediface.
Shpip, same I’m hearing from people who used to go every year. One is even in the Vacation Club.
Forgot which Glib said it earlier today, but they really are doing their damnedest to prove that those socons were right when they worried way back when that the LBQWERTY activists were targeting children.
Activists are the worst of people.
It sure looks that way.
Walt’s head is spinning in its freezer.
Yeah, because if there is anything little kids need, it’s some more sexual initiation. I really do believe that half of the entertainment industry are pedos.
“gay content for kids”
“kids” and “gay” don’t even belong in the same sentence. Nor does “sex” and “kids”, in general.
The most charitable take is they don’t really mean pre-pubescent children when they say “kids”, but that’d be generous – they certainly act like they mean true children.
That’s exact what they mean, sickos.
I don’t care what the issue is… this is madness. Who’s in charge here?!

Argentina:
“It can help us with inflation,” said Argentina’s President Alberto Fernández. Argentinians are moving savings from under mattresses to crypto wallets, and using it for everyday purposes.

An annual nudist festival in Oaxaca will go ahead as planned at the end of this month despite Covid-19, say its organizers, who have promised that they will follow all required sanitary protocols.

Blech. Face diapers.

Of course he’s a hero. It will be proven when he gets 80% of the vote when he runs for re-election. NYC is probably the one spot in America where you can be assured that diddling a kid in the middle of Times Square won’t affect your re-electability.

Sixty years ago, in Philly’s Palestra, the good Catholic basketball fans of St. Joe’s, Villanova, and LaSalle hurled curses and invective at the opposing teams and officials that would make a longshoreman blush.

There are no Salvadorans living in their native land, they are all in Virginia, except the small overflow into Maryland.

I’ve been using the guest room as a staging area for thoughtful unpacking, sorting, donating, hanging art, etc. Now it’s a blitzkrieg emptying operation in order to get ready to host guests. At least I’d already made up the queen bed when we first moved in.

So we need elites to behave like the exact opposite of elites? And regulators who likewise believe in the exact opposite?
The line about “institutional knowledge” is obviously his attempt to deal with the problem of “Things constantly evolve and change but we should never change the things I like” that liberalism has always suffered from…
This comment is interesting:
I hate to break it to you, but they’re ain’t no fucking elites, they’re a bunch of inbred sociopaths who cheated and backstabbed their way into power. The only thing that keeps them there is useful idiots, which do exist and there ain’t no shortage of them.
Aliens!
I knew it! There was no crossing of the Bering Straight land bridge because it wasn’t there! Now I ain’t saying it was aliens that came down here and flew them right into the Americas, but IT WAS FUCKING ALIENS! IT’S ALWAYS ALIENS!
When will the one wave theory of human migration into the americas finally die?
People arrived from both the east and the west over the course of tens of thousands of years, by land and by sea. And since the sea levels rose with the interglacial period, a lot of the evidence about who arrived first is underwater.
Oh, but it’s inconvenient that the major ancestors* of the American Indian was almost certainly ten thousand years or more behind the first arrivals. Can’t be the forever peaceful ‘always lived here’ if you did what every other human population in history did too.
*Some of the people already here probably got absorbed into the new settler population and gene pool, just as would happen after the colombia exchange.
Forgive me, I failed to articulate who I’m ranting at and why.
Well, I think I get it. The ‘noble savages’ folk? Yeah, the first human who learned that he could smash his neighbor over the head with a rock and take what he had, set off a forever trend.
The science is settled, my people were here first! In fact, they have always been here! So just give me the money to build my casino and stop fucking around.
“got absorbed into the new settler population and gene pool,”
This was, of course, due to love and affection and not rape and slavery. Of all the peoples and cultures of the world, it is only white Americans who ever practiced slavery, even if their ancestors arrived on these shores after 1865.
They were living in peace and total harmony when the white devils came. That’s the story and I’m sticking to it.
I have a theory that humans are actually the prisoners dropped by our alien ancestors to this planet. Plus it might explain how humans have hyper accelerated tech advances in the last 120 years compared to the rest of human history.

The part about the private sector is interesting. While liberals have opposed cronyism and fascism they did assume that wealthy educated urbanites would always be liberal. Big Government could always impose tariffs or nationalize foreign corporations so they would oppose big government wouldn’t they? And central planning would mess up urban food prices and consumerism so they must love laissez faire economics..
Also liberals assumed the rival elites would be at each others throats yet the opposite seems to be happening.
We just need a new world order and great reset and that will fix everything.

Hey all, I’m collecting can lids for SP.
1) Take a lid, rusty or not (preferably a canning lid, but whatever you can get), write your glibs handle on it along with a message of appreciation for her immense contributions to this site. NOTE: you may get better results using a fineliner permanent marker.
2) email me at trashy-glibs [at] disengage [dot] co (and let me know what your glibs handle is) to get the destination address for the lid.
3) shove the lid in an envelope and get it in the mail by April 1st.
Once I get all the lids, I’ll assemble them in a way that only a trash monster can, and I’ll send it up to SP to replenish her stock and keep OMWC in check.
I’ll continue posting this in the links threads this week.
NOTE: Athena has graciously offered to put messages on lids for those who, for whatever reason, can’t. (athenaofprogtown at the gmail)
There have been some issues with emails not making it through the masking. If you haven’t heard from me in 24 hours, let me know on here.
It’s best you save them for when the dollar is worth less than TP in a few short years…
Canning items are actually something I would stock up on.
I mean, I don’t have any, like zero. So don’t think you can be coming here and getting mine!
You’re going to need something to put in them. Which is why my wife and I keep arguing over buying the prettiest house or getting the most land we can. I’m 100% for the land, I’ll sleep on the fucking ground if I can raise my own food. A pretty house is not worth anything if you cannot afford food.
We should be able to grow enough (for 3 months a year) on our 10 acres to fill a couple jars.
A hydroponic grow operation (for FOOD people!) in the basement is also something I’ve thought about for winter. Also, deep winter greenhouses are a thing. I should probably get some of this plan (after I devise a plan) into action now instead of hoping I can do it when the SHTF
“on our 10 acres”
I’m jealous. I had 25 acres and sold it. I regret that. I just started my first hypropnic plants, toally LED, I have no light outside for growing, too many old growth trees.
I started out very small just to practice, but my hydroponic lettuce, I can almost watch it grow, it took off, my tomatoes are a little behind it and the peppers just out of baby leaves now. I think I get it now, I I’m going to rapidly expand this. I think I’ll add another small plot and then a bigger one if I continue to learn and get results.
Did you go straight to DIY hydro, or did you start with one of those all-in-one set-ups? Like this.
Yes, like that one, only one of the good ones, they’re way too expensive, but I was willing to pay it to learn with.
As soon as I get another one hooked up, my next thing will be building a DIY Kratky system with pump, fan, the best lights I can get.
And taking pictures and writing a multipart article about it for Glibs. Right?
I’m definitely considering that, I’d love to share this info with other Glibs. I don’t have much to share yet, I’m a noob. But I’d love to get more into this and have discussions. I’m 13 days in and 100% germination with 2 year old seeds. I got to find the rest of my seed stash, I’ve misplaced them…
Thanks for the reminder!! I gotta dig for a suitable lid…
Dude, I just opened a can of tuna and washed off the lid and wrote on it.
Dumb question, but isn’t that a bit sharp?
I just bought one of those openers that leaves a completely smooth edge. Works. Then I bought one of those indestuctilbe old school Japonese ones for when this one breaks like the last 20…
Uh, isn’t that the point?
I suppose. I thought the jagged can thing was more of a metaphor though.
But Trashy says he can deal with it, so a Friskies lid it will be.
I might be concerned if SP were, in fact, 9, but she is not, in fact, 9, and can handle herself around sharp objects.
I wish there was something we used from a #10 can. That would be funny AF.
Someone send in a #10 can lid. Write big.

Yes sir. No trailing “M”
Well, that’s where I sent my original e-mail.
Any chance they’re rejecting messages from Proton?
Ive gotten other messages from proton, so I don’t think that’s the problem. They’re not supposed to be rejecting anything because I can turn off the email address with a flip of a switch when it gets spammy. This has happened before and tech support at Abine had to fix it. Until they do, an email here or there may disappear into the ether. ?
Maybe try reforwarding the message to me to test if it was a transient issue. Otherwise, I’ll wait for Tonio to make the connection.
All right, I’ve sent it again. Hope it comes through this time.
I can see it this time. ?.
My son is in the Netherlands this week. He’s been sending pictures so now I have another goddamn item on the bucket list.
I better live to like 120.
Do it!
I’ve only been once. It is worth it.
I’ve been through Schiphol a bunch of times. I had no idea it was attached to such a beautiful country!
I worked with a girl from Amsterdam. She had one of those Van something names you know. She was 22 years old and hot as fuck, I mean all of the guys where were like holy fuck, and single and so was I, but 20 years older than her but she was super friendly with me. And I dindonuthin, I was dating this latina chick, as usual. Sometimes I kick myself in the arse when it’s way too late to matter. I stopped working for that client and we lost contact. Fuck, I have to stop reminding myself of how dumb I am.
Amsterdam? Better stock up on lots of supercentenarian viagara before you go.
Amsterdam is a good place, and it is more than pot and hookers.
Utrecht is a nice little town.
“it is more than pot and hookers.”
Why?
Oh fuck, I forgot beer.
He’s in Delft, visiting his best friend who is doing graduate work at the university there. Really cool looking place – with its own nuclear reactor!
So, my dad served his LDS mission in Holland, taught me a wee bit of Dutch when I was a wee bit of a thing. I have earrings and a necklace he sent back to his mother from Delft. He learned to love Indonesian food there. In the winter, when the canals would freeze, he would get everywhere by skating.
…he would get everywhere by skating.
Officially aroused.
I gotta dig up some of my Netherlands images and write an article about ’em.
For now, I recommend:
1. Amsterdam (natch). One of the great walking cities of the world. Get off in Schiphol, take the underground to Centraal Station in Amsterdam, and plop yourself down in the Ibis Hotel right next to the station, which is pricey but so damned central to everything that it’s worth it for the lack of PITA.
2. Groningen (both a province and a city, with a great University) next to the province of Friesland (where my wife’s ancestors hail from and where she still has lots of very interesting and educated family); and
3. Leeuwarden (in Friesland proper), which is a beautiful smaller city with an amazing canal system running through it — great place to take a multi-day canal tour! Also had some family there, but they’ve all either died or moved elsewhere in the Netherlands.
And Tundra, if you like skating, there’s an amazing canal connecting to Bruges/Brugge (in Belgium) that you can skate on in the winter, which, depending on the winter, can get you all over Belgium via skate.
I love that area of Europe, sort of the spiritual and thermal counterpart to Spain.
Thank you.
I’m definitely going. But mama just informed me it won’t be in the winter!
Counterpoint.
Amsterdam is a dirty city. The Portland of Europe.
Van Gogh is an overrated hack. Do visit the eponymous museum so you can the crap up close. I’d rather see an elementary school art show.
Fried potatoes with mayo is good. So are the ham sandwiches from a food cart.
Bols Museum is all PR and partly phony baloney, but you can get genever there you can’t get in the US.
Shopping is pretty good. Dutch sounds like Canadian German to my ears and is also understandable.

If you fly KLM Business, you get a Delft Blue house. I have four on the mantle so far.

Nuclear is bad! Why are they trying to kill the planet with cheap abundant energy? They already had windmills!
Indeed. The Maritime Museum is absolutely amazing and is far better trip than the overpriced, overcrowded Anne Frank House. Also, savory pancakes are bloody delicious (who knew turkey curry on flapjacks was so good).
Yes, the Maritime Museum is good.
db suggested the Dutch Resistance museum back in the H&R days. I stopped in based on his recommendation, and it is good.
Glad you liked it!

Which NFL team does he currently play for?
21 year old chick.
It’s about time they let females play in the NFL.
So she swims for Penn then.
Wait, I know this story. That kid was just notdoinnuthin wasn’t he? Walking home from school with his skittles when those white hispanic cops started chasing him down the highway and made him crash?
Late to the party, as usual.
Thanks to pistoffnick for the cool article on Duluth.
Have a terrifying look into the near future of digital FedBucks.
Needless to say, Biden is all over this.
Of course, that’s the plan. Ve needz a gwate weset. Did you not hear?

Grooming? What grooming?
Sickos, I’m telling you, nothing else to this except government employees and activists who want to molest little kids.
I used to think my husband was a kooky conspiracy theorist when he told me about how the government and Hollywood were full of pedos and coordinating to make it easier, legal, and eventually socially acceptable.
“That’s nice, dear.” Pat-pat.
Now I have to concede he was right about much of it.
Look at those teachers in that video.
They’re predominantly white, overweight, and female. They’re graduates of the Ed schools. They’re probably midwits and still single.
For them, this is about sticking a finger in the eye of conservative America. They’re enabling pedos, sure. But don’t underestimate how many of them are doing it as a reactionary action to what they perceive as c conservative troglodytes.
This. Most importantly, they’re getting these ideas at college.

Dammit the ceaseless change and the desire for the new and novel has resulted in people now thinking that classical liberalism is one of those outdated backwards ideas we ought to get rid off. This Wasn’t Supposed to Happen!

Evil catches a cold.
The virus will probably go on a ventilator and then die.
The virus denies having any knowledge of Hillary Clinton.
Y’know, you expect this virus to step up to the plate and get the job done, and it chokes just when it’s most needed.
Hillary won’t die because Hell is full.
Klaus haz a sad…
This should spawn a handful of wonderful Bee articles.
Nothing to see here, move along.

But Djokovic is the dummy, amirite?
And a threat to society.
Perfectly normal, definitely not out of the ordinary. ????????
I wouldn’t rule out him making excuses for Fritz’s surprising win. He’s a jerk.
Hello from somewhere north of Dominica!
Roseau was very picturesque, but we were not allowed to wander around town.
Tomorrow St. Kitts.
Roseau?
Slightly different
https://ibb.co/Bj2CjvT
Will be very interested in your impressions of St. Kitts – looking at going there in June (although leaning towards St. Maarten right now)
I can tell you St Maarten was open & thriving & very few if any masks. I’ll let you know about St Kitts!
I love the Caribbean.
Our one and only cruise there, though, frustrated me. As soon as I got the vibe of a place I had to get back on the boat.
I might head down to one of the islands to wait out the apocalypse.
I like it because I can get an idea of where I would take a land-based vacation without committing to a whole week or whatever. I really enjoyed Barbados. They seem to be doing well since they booted the Queen.
Roseau? My home town?
Go Rams!
MN’s very own tropical paradise!
If time allows, I highly recommend a trip to Brimstone Hill fortress. Figures in the American Revolution, among other things.

Cool!!
Shall I do a “What I Did on My Spring Break” sideshow Friday nite?
Of course! Wait…sanitized slideshow right?
Is Georges Danton the ultimate liberal? Supported non-state murder of reactionaries only to embrace the state executing reactionaries as a reformist measure and ended up being executed by the very same tribunal he created as a reactionary?
This sort of hypocritical, unprincipled, statist, repressive, intolerant, elitist, presentist and short-sighted thinking has been there from the beginning.
jeff Tucker is good modern day example. He supported the Deep State and Big Tech against Trump and the Alt-Right only to find they don’t like him for the Great Barrington Declaration…
Are you on drugs?
You aren’t?

So 75 years ago the folks at the Mont Perelin identified many of the serious issues we are still facing today but they failed to deal with it and these things gave gotten much worse…
