I remember when he was the business darling PM. Entrepreneur to leader. The Irish billionaire Denis O'Brien, who also owns the largest mobile network in Haiti, praised him for bringing a business background to the countries government back when he was in power. O'Brien is known for making his fortune in Ireland by bribing the business friendly government in the 90s for the license to the first mobile network. A strategy he replicated in Jamaica and Haiti.

Why is it that more and more Latin American countries are becoming dollarized - that is to say, using the dollar as legal tender or de facto? El Salvador jumped on the dollar years ago, and it's become de facto in Venezuela and Argentina because of the insane inflation in both. Is it all un complot estadounidense  ?

We've reached the point where drug trafficking is a far greater ill than drug use in and of itself. In a utilitarian sense: let people drug themselves to death, legally and fore free, if they choose. It's better than inflicting collateral damage on innocent people.

AMLO, who seems unable to keep away from Mexican aviation, is now ready to set another $230 million on fire https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-08-10/amlo-s-airline-to-take-off-with-4-billion-and-10-boeing-jets and that's USD, not Peso. He's previously forced all cargo flights to move to his pet project airport, Santa Lucia which has been a disaster because of how cargo/passenger planes co-mingle with customs facilities and how MEX is used as a cargo hub. https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/mexican-president-defends-bid-move-cargo-longstanding-hub-new-airport-2023-01-19/

He won a primary, so while it's worrying for him to be in the running, there's still plenty of chance they'll pass him over. I'm not really a polltoucher though, so I have no idea what direction things are expected to go. In that sense, it's not really all that different from things like every French election coming down to some guy and a literal nazi. A nutso far right guy being part of the the national political conversation doesn't seem particularly new. But Argentina being a train wreck otherwise makes it an unstable situation. Staluigi posted:laughs in 🇭🇹 Last piece of news I saw on Haiti: https://apnews.com/article/haiti-gangs-cherizier-barbecue-international-force-359f7b52a821591df9ddc55642fbeb72 Which while it's ridiculous for a gangleader responsible for massacres and rapes to posture against potential human rights offenses, I guess maybe this could be a sign of the gangs having some kind of ambition to create some kind of legitimacy and start running a society instead of continuing the gang war. Which while stabilizing into a dictatorship is bad, it'd be a step up from the current chaos. Not like there's any democratic government left to pose an alternative. Kenya has said it'd be willing to lead a UN coalition, no idea how that would go.

no. LatAm libertarians (as in, actual human beings supporting the ideology, so not counting Chicago School economic advisors and other kinds of ghouls) were pretty much nonexistant previous to US cultural influence via social media, so for the most part they're a 1:1 copy when it comes to symbols and imagery

In Brazil, the MBL (Free Brazil movement) sprang from the ground firing on all cylinders during Dilma's impeachment and the economic dip, showing up in pro-Bolsonaro rallies wearing Trump hats and signs asking the US to 'free' Brasil. Lots of 'Mises was right' and Don't Treat on Me shirts and signs, too. As an organization, they were a tiny group of snobbish comment dudes, but they got heaps of media attention and scored a ton of Congress positions. Many then crashed fighting each other over backing Bozo 100% or distancing as his agenda proved insanely corrupt and authoritarian, but they still retain a decent presence in politics, mostly because any anti-PT force always gets at least some media sympathy by default.

Nicaragua is banning the Jesuit Order and confiscating all its property, which sounds like a thing from another era, but apparently he's doing it to shut down universities and this is part of a pattern of cracking down on catholicism and political opponents. https://apnews.com/article/nicaragua-bans-jesuits-confiscate-properties-280e6d2e63b15a171a7ba9a5c323d180 Also, the Panama canal is suffering from low lake levels from droughts so a lot of traffic can't get through. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/panama-canal-drought-threatens-global-cargo-ship-traffic/ Interesting times in Central America, but I didn't see anything recent about Cost Rica.
