I agree with the point about “expired” food. However, the issue here is that it makes no sense to withhold food in a context as tense as the one many Argentines are experiencing.
Regarding migrants and the so-called “American dream”, the truth is that whatever they find in America will seem like a paradise compared to the sad Latin American reality that I daily review. Their (potential) lives there will focus on much more superficial aspects, without entering into the sinuous and tenebrous political context you describe.
I have a cousin living in Florida, and she is less aware of American politics than I am. Her focus is on working for the dollars to support her parents and our grandmother here in Cuba, paying her bills, eating decently, the occasional outing with her husband and son, and drinking Modelo beer. That's all for her. Thanks again for putting out some strong context that brings real value to the content I publish.
I undertake to read your every post, because the people of Latin America hold the keys to the future, or will if they can grasp them. Many millions of them have yet to get a chance to build the American dream, despite living in the Americas. As decentralization continues to lower the bar in terms of cost to own means of production, it is they that have never before been able to reach for that brass ring that have dreamed of the chance, and will take their best shot at it, while jaded and parasitic NEETS in the USA think that sucking at the teat of welfare is all they have to do to live out their days, albeit poor and harshly. They relinquished their American dream for EBT cards. I have little hope for them, nor find them inspiring.
