This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

American government: Builds concentration camps
Mexican government: Develops brand new chocolate bars
I'm happy to see there are still some governments out there who rule in the interest of the people.
A high quality chocolate bar, at that.
The MEXICAN government ruling in the interests of the people? This is absolutely delusional. Mexico is one of the most corrupt, dangerous, and unstable places in the world. The country is quickly turning into a warzone because of the cartels, and both the current and previous presidents and their government aren't doing anything about it because they're bought.
A government making a chocolate bar to distract from the crippling poverty and crime is not good governance, it's the opposite.
Tell me you haven't been to Mexico without telling me you haven't been to Mexico.
This guy is a zionist. Don't waste your time with him
Have you been to Mexico? How about you take a little vacation to Sinaloa to prove me wrong?
Mexico's murder rate per 100 000 is 24.9, meaning you're on average safer in Mexico than in Newark, Memphis, Cleveland, Kansas City, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Detroit, Baltimore or St. Louis.
Never mind that murders in Mexico are generally committed using American firearms, and for American money over drugs that are to be sold in America. Mexico's problem is America. So while we wait for America to selfdestruct, I guess they might as well get to work on public health issues.
Obviously not saying that cartels are not a huge fucking problem. It's hard to get good politicians when they murder anyone who resists them. But the cartels are in large part a product of America's failures. Europeans are not innocent either - fuck every coke snoking upper class brat who is having their pathetic highs at the expense of a whole fucking continent.

You say that like most governments are acting like the US, which is just so dumb. Your comment reeks of "I only know about the US government and nothing else".
