There seems to be a revolution happening in Mexico.
President Sheinbaum is creating a very real danger for the future of the country.
It appears Mexico is tired.
Generation Z is mounting a rebellion toward its government — a government that has oppressed its people for generations.
The sense is that officials have filled their pockets with cartel money.
The current president has refused military help from the United States.
Today, the news travels fast.
I’m still sitting here in my comfortable club chair — feet up on the ottoman — watching the craziness happening on YouTube.
I don’t live in Mexico. I live in the United States.
But I have ties to Mexico, as many of us do.
In patriotic terms, maybe it shouldn’t affect me.
But in human terms, it does.
We all affect each other.
Drugs cross boundaries that no wall and no immigration agent can stop.
Flip the coin, and the picture gets clearer:
The majority of the Mexican people don’t live — they survive.
Horrible wages, miserable hours.
Kids dropping out of school to work, or working AND going to school just to help the household survive.
Most kids don’t even sniff a university.
For many, the best economic pathway is the cartel —
selling drugs, making drugs, kidnapping for ransom, or collecting “rent” from local businesses.
The government’s corruption has only empowered the cartels even more.
A couple of years ago, one of El Chapo’s boys was picked up by local police.
The cartel waged war instantly — burned buses, threatened to kill citizens for every hour he was held.
And just like that, he was handed back.
So I think…
why can’t a government with a military stop drug dealers?
Yes, the cartels have money and power — but this is a government.
The U.S. offered military help.
Mexico rejected it.
Why?
It doesn’t make sense.
And when something doesn’t make logical sense…
it usually means
it makes economic sense — to someone.
