The last time I was in Mexico, I was mugged by the Policia. They decided that I committed some obscure crime that they couldn't explain and said - we'll take you to jail now...unless.... So I emptied my wallet of cash - $20 (I kept the least amount of money in my wallet), but that wasn't enough for them, so I pulled some cash out of my sock - $50. They started to say that wasn't enough either, but I told them that was all I had and they let me go.

I had another $200 in the other sock. Never keep all of your money in one place....2 or 3 places is/was definitely warranted at that time.

Back then, I considered it a risk to go to Mexico, but it was mitigated by affordable corruption. That was the most expensive corruption I had ever seen, so I decided not to go back any more. That was right after 9/11....it may have been early 2002.

mexican word of the day | VACA I USED TO VISIT MEXICO FREQUENTLY BUT I NO LONGER VACA THERE | image tagged in mexican word of the day | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
I’ve been to several cities, mostly Cabo and used to enjoy it. Love to go deep sea fishing. The last few times I could tell it’s getting more crime and have effectively decided not to go anymore. Great people, great food and good times, but I no longer feel safe there.

I would take you up on it if I believed you had enough money to buy it and wouldn’t stalk me. I’m literally more frightened of the freaks on this site than anyone I’ve ever met in or from Mexico.

thread is going to end for each reply so i did it here, Both Obama and Bush had bad economies as far as jobs. they both fudged the numbers remember they both bailed out wallstreet and big busn etc, but the cause and effect was from clinton, the jobs left when nafta was made.

so by lowering the tax rate we attracted more companies to do business here, very simple..
They have more cash now to do more things, hence hire building tradesmen.
If he was doing bad we would be bashing him..

yea he is obnoxious , but if he is helping me and my fellow workers, he can say what he wants..

I would rather have him than a backstabber clinton any day.

thread ended u said "Bill carried over Bush's NAFTA" yup Bush sr was a dick 4 it... I know way more abt NAFTA than the avg person, did u know it had its origins going back to carter? all the potus pushed it along, Bush sr did the most but it was worthless as toilet paper till backstabber bill made it law...I have hated the clintons since then.. just my own opinion.. The MSM tries to polish those turds. They did nothing but get rich while in politics.

LOL you are prejudice as ever, never GOP. was dem for 25 yrs, currently ind.. Look back at every one of my memes you will never find one anti gay marriage, pro religion or anti climate change

I am pro american and american worker . Things that are anti american worker are NAFTA, you know the thing that Bill Clinton made into law..

Bill carried over Bush's NAFTA....but I am with ya. Even Bernie wants out of that.
I am pro worker as well.....we need a STRONG middle class. Look up Nick Hanauer. He's a billionaire that gets it.

come to a Ibew local 98 union meeting, you will see how busy we are..one of my guys lives in Beckett nj swedsborough area. Bottom line if Trump was doing a bad job with the economy, we would hate him..But he is doing the best ever... Money talks.."PERIOD"

what do you do for a living?

By the way- back to the original post....being afraid to go to Cabo or any tourist area in Mexico is like being afraid to go to Ocean City NJ because there is crime in Camden. Or Vineland. Or Millville. Or Atlantic City or Philly or Newark or...wherever. Tourist areas are pretty safe in Mexico. I go there all the time. When I say safe I mean I feel as safe as I would in any “normal” part of the states. We have tons of crime in the US including many tourist areas. I seriously think Miami could be worse than any tourist area I’ve been in Mexico. New Orleans DEFINITELY is worse.

I respect electricians. I know a LOT of them. My cousins are and their dad before them.
I wish I had a skill that important and necessary. LOL I am happy we have circuit breakers, makes changing a light switch less frightening to me.

I have a hard time believing Trump had much to do with the recent state of the economy. Which is doing pretty well, don't get me wrong. Obama was handed a huge flaming turd from Bush and Obama had to right it before it collapsed, which he did. Year over year growth and actually was turning the deficit the right way. Some quarters were up and down and all over but over time it was up.

Things are actually slowing down under Trump. I am not saying this out of spite...it's just facts. He keeps saying its the best economy ever. And people believe it. They may feel like they are doing better, and THEY may be. But that isn't the economy. That's like saying there is no world hunger because you just ate a sandwich. Or there is no global warming because we just got snow.

In any case I know where Beckett is, I have a friend there as well. Let's get a beer sometime!
