Update from the streets of Nicaragua

in nicaragua •  5 years ago 

I note that the one thing that is different in the USA from most jurisdictions in the world is that the populace is heavily armed. Wasn't it Mao that said he would never invade the USA because there would be a rifle behind every blade of grass?

The police know that too.

Our representatives and officials should be better acquainted with that fact, IMHO.

Thanks!

I don't think that is true, in Honduras we can lawfully own 5 weapons and a lot of people do, guns are a very defining part of manhood around here. Still doesn't do much good against police and army who have armoured vehicles, machine guns, bazookas, helicopters, planes, training (in part received from US), tear gas and are also brainwashed.

Jeez, that sounds hopeless.
Who is sending their sons to serve?
My dad sent me but it wasn't long before graffiti on a wall in Frankfurt opened my eyes to freedom.
My dad died with anger as his only tool, too.

Until rule by force is rejected as an option nothing changes.

Jobless rate in Honduras is over 40% joining the army or the police is a way out.

The people all have to eat, what do most of them do?
Build houses, carpentry/metal work, car repair, store keeper, taxi driver, washing taxis, I'm running out here.
I always wondered how these others were eating, but didn't know the language well enough to ask.
Is it possible to come there and open a business that survives?

Well, for one a lot of people receive money from family who has emigrated mostly to the US, others of course steal or engage in other criminal enterprises, also we are a drug trafficking bridge so that leaves a lot of money. That does not mean you can't set up a business, with luck you could even have a very successful one. Yes, there are all the jobs you mention above just that there is more offer than demand.

Sounds like most anywhere else.

It costs a little more to get a business going here, but it can be done.

Oh, you could be right, that has been an idea that has been floating around for a long time.

Guns, and ammo, for everybody!

I think it was tojo, mao had a full plate on his own table.
Neither better not make us go wolverines! on 'em.
