    Probably the same reason the whole party is still around. It would be awesome to get a real input from someone who lives in Mexico (preferably a normal person and not a summer beach home/mansion owner who pretends to live like normal people do), but honestly don’t know how likely they are to lurk here on Lemmy…surely there is at least one among us?

    My skepticism stems mostly from the “popularity” of former president, supposedly reaching some 80%? Sounds pretty good if it’s genuinely true, but it’s eerily approaching fabled 90-100% authoritarian levels.





  • Don’t worry, no poor people will be hurt by this decision, at least not more than they’re already hurting themselves by electing thieving bastards.

    Same kind of people were getting the money anyway, so this is just rich not wanting the slightly less rich, but not smart enough to bribe lobby correctly, to get more money.

    I have, what you may call “close ties” with one of those countries so “pretend” communism isn’t any better. (hint: most of my life wasn’t spent in the “west”)




  • Oh, I’m not denying that they are greedy assholes. But at the same time I feel like we’re in that comic, they saw an terrible opportunity, implemented this shit and were like “no way anyone is going to fall for that”, and “we” allowed them to like “we” seem to do with many other terrible things in this world, and here we are with them laughing away at “our” stupidity.

    There seem to be just enough dumb people around to enable assholes like this to exist, which I find sad and disturbing. It’s almost like there is a reason certain groups want people to stay dumb and ban books, ban those who are different from learning etc

    Couple of other things about the print stuff; I seriously doubt this even needs to profitable for them in the short term (it likely is), so unless it’s dead on arrival, the longer it keeps going, the more chances this will be the only available solution…perhaps a last ditch effort to milk us dry before printing dies?

    And for anyone who comes across this in the future, at best you’re paying 10x per page compared to what medium size business did many years ago, and no you’re not even getting a real service.


  • FWIW we have dumb business owners to thank for that.

    They’ve been doing this with the Indigo’s for 8+ years that I’m aware of, so probably much longer. And ofc businesses fell for it because just like most cloud shit, nobody can be bothered to calculate actual costs, just fudge stuff and get your bonus/pay rise for pretending to have done something beneficial.


  • How do you find anything useful on LinkedIn? (Serious question) Filtering on location with few of and/NOT search terms doesn’t yield many results. Their suggested jobs are irrelevant crap riddled with 95% repeating promoted crap that you can dismiss but your dismiss gets ignored.

    I use indeed and it’s been steadily getting to the same point as LinkedIn where they repeat promoted shit, ignore filters you setup and just straight up serve useless garbage irrelevant to search terms.

    Tried monster and zip recruiter couple of times, it was never better than any of the above so I didn’t bother continuing to try.

    There’s also the option of “collection/storagr places” by the border - businesses that provide you with US shipping address and hold your parcel, usually at least for few days up to a month or two for free…of course the downside is that you have to live near the border and whatever you want to order and collect has to be worth the hassle for you to go across the border
