It's called "where there is a will, there is a way."

And in #Gringoville there is no will. The excuse of "the U.S. is (different, exceptional, big, etc.)" doesn't fly. Again, will.

We probably could do stuff like this here but since #gringos would rather let their neighbors starve and die because of the horrors of sharing, not happening.

This would suggest #Gringoville has a sense of shame, which it most certainly does not.

And while #Gringoville fucks up US #coffee, coffee producers like #Brazil just adapt and send their coffee elsewhere, like #China. ☕

Note however, that while #Gringoville is ramping up coal, in China it's renewable energy for the data centers.

Let us be blunt: the whole HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) bs in #Gringoville is basically a subsidy to #BigAg and #BigCorn, so of course their lobbyists are fired up. People are paying it attention now because of the #PendejoInChief but this is not new. (c)

The deepening water shortage row between the US and Mexico The US is accusing its southern neighbour of breaking a long-held water sharing agreement.

I've said it before, and say it once more: the wars of the future will be fought over water, as in who has it, who does not, etc.

Keep in mind that, unlike domestic, internationals usually pay full tuition at non-resident rates, so in a way, they are a bit of a cash cow in #academia. But hey kids from abroad, plenty of fine colleges elsewhere. Go there instead and #BoycottUSA. #Gringoville does not want you here. (e)

National pride is declining in America. And it's splitting by party lines, poll shows A poll shows only 36% of Democrats say they’re “extremely” or “very” proud to be American, reflecting a dramatic decline in national pride that's also clear among young people

And speaking of gringo patriotism. Gee, can't imagine why.

Did anyone expect anything different? The #ammosexuals and #gundamentalists are well protected in #Gringoville thanks to "a federal law that Congress passed in 2005 to shield the gun industry from lawsuits in U.S. courts for the misuse of guns by others."
