Only if you follow this blog closely, you would know that I'm an expat these days. It's not that I'm regretting leaving USA, at least not right now, but I feel like regardless the experience has enriched me.
All that being said, I'm starting to get really worried....
There's a video of the whole thing, and I don't think I need to share it here to make my point. The truth is that the political climate here is as toxic as it gets, and the Banana Republic effect is in full effect.
The wife and I talked about it for a while last night. Truth be told, I can always go back home, back to the Florida, if things get worse, but I feel like I would be betraying myself a bit.
Of course, there is nothing more important than being alive. I can't say, I don't want to close my shop and I'm willing to die over my guitar building, but I would probably depress me deeply if I had to go back to the drone like grind of the 9 to 5.
This is my conclusion from this whole thing. Any candidate who is "too aggressive" towards "business" will be taken out. As a matter of fact, they released a video stating so, so this is not speculation at the moment.
I'm reminded very much of Colombia back when I was a kid. We are probably days away from car bombs and such. In about three months, the presidential elections will be held, and I fully expect for the circus to escalate even more.
