Dude, like you, I'm also Mexican. My parents live in Guanajuato state. My entire family has been affected by what's been happening in Mexico. I never argued that the entities are monolithic block, which would be an absurd claim to make. I was correcting your claim that "Mexico is starting to actually fight against narcos", which is a factually wrong claim. You can claim they weren't doing enough, or doing it incorrectly, which I would agree with, but that's very different from implying that nothing was being done. Just see this article published yesterday on the U.S./Mexican collaboration between 2001 and 2016 that lead to El Chapo's captures:
> Did you know that Mexico is starting to actually fight against narcos? For 40 years, maybe more, there wasn't even a mention of that in the Mexican Government.
This is plain wrong. There's literally a Wikipedia page created 18 years ago documenting the well-publicized Mexican Drug War between the Mexican government (supported by various governments) against all the cartels. Literally thousands of soldiers and police killed.
This would be similar to the French model, which allows youths born in France (except in Mayotte) to non-French parents between the ages of 13 and 16 to become naturalized by decree if they have lived in France for at least five years since the age of 8 and have parental permission. Still quite restrictive and presents obvious challenges to integration, but it remains more permissive than what this administration is proposing.
As for the underlying issue, I'm not sure, but I suspect it might be related to the so-called "$5M gold card." Perhaps the goal is to make citizenship more exclusive and drive up its perceived value?
I've been waiting for something like this. I've got most of my emails, text messages and social media posts since 1997. One day I'm going to load it all up on something like this.
Maybe I am in the minority, but I've been a Proton user since 2016 and a paying customer since 2017 and I'm excited about this acquisition. I use AnyType for note taking, but Standard Notes is a solid alternative and I am excited to see an expanded ecosystem. Makes me very happy to keep keep paying for my $18/month Visionary plan.
