Not impressed
AMLO took office in Mexico today. I'm not impressed.
Crime has been multiplying in recent years, but AMLO just offers stupid hippie-left slogans. "You can't fight violence with violence". FALSE.
In fact you have to fight violence with violence, but you DON'T have to start or expand the violence. Drug laws are intended to CREATE violence so the agencies in charge of pretending to fight the violence can increase their budget to create more violence.
He wants "government of the people". Meaningless.
He wants to "end corruption". Every politician says that.
Carlos Slim approves of AMLO, which tells you everything you need to know.
It's possible that his actions will turn out better than his words, but a hardass change of policy needs to START with a hardass and coherent statement of PURPOSE.
