So busy. And so bitchy! That’s me. I’m an evil bitch; trust me it’s true. And thus you shouldn’t ever listen to me. Still, something woke me up this morning faster than the coffee.

Seven years more and it’s all gone. IIRC, Mexico really relies on the money it makes from oil exportation, and their already fragile hold on a stable society will be greatly upset when this money goes away. Obviously, as their close neighbors, we can expect to feel the effects as well.
I’m very ignorant of Mexican politics, but this seems to me to be a rather big deal. I wonder if their leaders will prepare for it better than ours have.
