Do not mistake what I'm saying for a claim that Mexico doesn't have all the known problems. I'm just saying that the trajectory is very positive. There's a lot of opportunity. There's also a lot of need for cleanup. The more the opportunity develops, the more people will have incentive to clean it up.
But that's a decades-long process, not a months- or years-long process.

Nevertheless, on balance, the cartels are easier to deal with than the CCP. But that's another discussion entirely.
This optimistic picture would be accurate and bode well for the future if not for extraordinary obstacles constantly thrown in the path of progress. Whether it be a small-time judicial appointee of a former president striking down fully legal tariffs or a sub-optimal midterm result leading to impeachment proceedings, the desire of so many in power to see this president fail is seemingly insurmountable. Your analysis would be spot on if not for the irrational emotionalism and concomitant obstructionism of the political class.
Well as to tariffs, take heart, because the Supreme Court struck down IEEPA tariffs, but no others. Hence, by implication, they upheld the President's powers to impose tariffs, constrained only by the extraordinarily broad powers Congress has already granted him over the last century, and that constitutes an enormous defeat for the plaintiffs. The Enemedia doesn't understand that, or doesn't want to.
"The Supreme Court Has Overturned Trump's Tariffs: What He Can Do Now"
It is my sense that Trump spent every minute of his four years in exile, along with the smartest people he could assemble, plotting out every move and countermove of every day of this second term. There's really nothing to compare it to in American history, not even FDR's first year. We won't get everything we want. But we never will in this life. What we're getting is extraordinary, and fast.
UK got Socialism in all its guises, getting ‘equality’ means lower down the ladder of life/health/culture

I worked at a couple Mexican factories at my old job. Nice, hardworking people. But the neighborhoods were a bit scary.
We heard a big splash about six weeks ago concerning taken down the cartels. I wonder if we’re still making progress on that front. It’s gone quiet.

Good analysis, but what about the 900 lbs gorilla in the room - the corruption & cartels??
