    All true, except was not tornado, just very strong winds, some as high as 90 MPH. Some people that lived in older wooden structures had their homes completely destroyed. The electric company reports 81% of city has power restored, and I know people without power and they just Thursday got water back. It is far from returning to normal, city is littered with trash and tree limbs, some very large power poles are still down. The electric company has crews from several nearby cities, including Monterrey, here to help. Bottled water is scarce to non existent, a friend tried to buy a generator in Laredo for his house in Nuevo Laredo, none were available. Even areas with power restored are experiencing power outages as they reroute and reconnect power lines that were damaged and temporarily repaired. Back to normal? Not hardly.

    Yep, I was coming back from MTY. There was definitely damage. Things should be pretty much back to normal now. They were without power for a day or 2.

    This is something I have pondered for a decade and a half. I still have no concrete answer to solving it that I am willing to stand on. The issue is it is systemic, in not only the leaders of the government, but has filtered down to the every day employee (as I paraphrase Travv quoting Dugan Flanakin). My only idea to repairing it, there ain't no fixing it, is to go back to the earlier days when both sides had a "kinder, gentler, machine gun hand".

    Ideas, suggestions, or a well thought out thesis would be wonderful. Ain't none of us going to be right, correct, or even know, until time plays it out. I guess I'm just wanting to know what your best thoughts on your best bet.
    I don't think is something that can be solved. They are just going to have to grow out of it, very gradually. I know few people here that are, as far as I have seen, very honest and straight, would not steal a dime or take something that wasn't theirs.

    I know many others that will take advantage of every opportunity presented them, and take what they can. But that is everywhere, not just Mexico. Mexico where law enforcement uses their authority to steal, I have even seen video of firemen and police ransacking cars after a fire or a crash and taking what they can. Corruption is so deep and wide spread, people have come to expect it. Over time, with increasing wages and living conditions that will improve, but it's going to take a very long time. It's so deep and wide spread, it is hard to even believe that a country, next door to the USA, could be so dirty.

    Yep, does not make a lot of sense. I have used Didi, a couple times 15-30 minutes wait. Uber impossible.

    Directly after crossing the border there were zero cabs Sunday night 7 pm. On 2 separate occasions we had to wait at the bus stop for over 20 minutes. I usually drive, but I had a lot of work checks on and I did not want to deal with the border agents. I had an incident in the past, I need to learn from my mistakes.
