Summary
US companies exported 1.4 million tons of hazardous waste in 2022, nearly half of which went to Monterrey, Mexico.
Toxic substances from Zinc Nacional, a local recycling plant processing US steel dust, have polluted nearby homes, schools, and soil with lead, arsenic, and cadmium, exceeding US health thresholds by hundreds of times.
Experts call the waste trade “toxic colonialism,” citing Mexico’s weaker regulations and enforcement.
Residents report health issues, while the company claims compliance. Mexican authorities are investigating amid calls for stricter oversight and accountability.
Wtf does that a-hole has to do with this?
A border wall sounds like a placebo and most likely a populist idea, but I don’t live near those places so I can’t tell where the fuck this idea came from or why was it brought in this thread.
Oh joy I can already tell where this is going…
This article couldn’t have MORE lies and propaganda if they dared to… they even left out her crimes and her antivaxx position (she tested during covid, alright, using ivermectin on patients without their consent, supporting her cult leader [the expresident] propaganda against masking, quarentine and not wanting to buy the vaccines unless it benefits their friends).
Can’t read it without signing up or some shit, still I can tell you having a governing party fully backed and on the narcos payroll, won’t help for shit.
Also her whole party and allied parties used the steamroll and voted to make vaping (both nicotine and dry-herb, electric or not) illegal… and now it’s illegal again, giving back the control of the product to the narcos so… yeah.
This one is true, but still lacks the information from recent years (no mention about the spike on press attacks during the last presidential term), sadly it will seriously lack information since the order was to stop keeping metrics at any cost.
We investigated ourselves and found no corruption, there is your summary of the article, meanwhile the last and current goverment have given so MANY direct contracts to their friends and family they are putting previous administrations to shame with their nepotism and corruption.
I live in México (not Monterrey, tho), I have to deal with the constant shitshow it’s become since morena took over… fuck’s sake, I had to pay for my fucking COVID booster twice (one last year, one this year) because they are applying fucking Sputnik/Abdala/CanSino at public hospitals (not only outdated, but relabeled to hide it’s already past the recommended date… way past it).
But as we say in México… I am enjoying what the others voted for while I read people defending them only because they claim to be from the left but they act from the right.
Thank you for responding. I gave a couple links that you could give context to so other people can get a better understanding of your point. I lived in Ciudad before all the anglos and “digital nomads” started all the gentrification there.
US corporations and the War on Drugs have fucked over Mexico in such a way I don’t think will ever get fixed in my lifetime.
Seemed to me you were trying to inject propaganda but whatever…
I was born in México, I’ve lived here all my life… did I win the dick measuring contest?
The US corporations and the wAr On DrUgS are a sympton or a consequense, an excuse if you want, there are deeper problems that allow all of those to go on.
I’m not trying to compete with you. Why are you so defensive?
Because I’m tired of people parroting propaganda (hence your links to inform others) under the disguise of I just wanted to know your opinion, hope that makes it clear and I’ll just block you so you won’t derail the thread any more.
The AP is not propaganda. I can’t find anything you’ve alleged about vaccines. Also you became extremely defensive once I posted anything someone could site or someone else could reference. You’re also defending narcos and US corporations by proxy by just saying votes were bought in the last election. There’s no proof of that anywhere.
I think you’re derailing threads. You seem to have a history of spreading misinformation and also strangely purging your comment history. Which are both techniques of misinformation merchants.
