I’m not latino but I enjoy reading this every day. He is on go comics in Spanish.He speaks not for only Latinos, but for all the poor, the working poor and people who can’t find work, children growing up in poverty, and the old who live on small fixed incomes. The big corporations are so rich and ALL the rest of us are losing ground. We no longer live in a Democracy, but a plutocracy of the richest 400 to 500 people. I wish people would turn off fox and start seeing reality.
That’s how it was supposed to work. In reality, though, the people we vote for handle the interests of the corporations that pay for their campaigns. No matter how well they serve their constituency, if these corporations have a problem with their work, they withhold funds and rascals who dance to the Piper are funded instead. These funds pay for such a flood of advertising that the minority that actually votes is influenced enough to vote for them.
These corporations also literally — and I mean literally — write the laws that govern them, then have the congressman in their pocket put his name on them.

I thought the scariest thing was Spain, the reigning world champs, losing 5-1 to Holland (or Uruguay losing 3.1 to Costa Rica…)

Those of us interested in learning about other cultures would have looked it up while we were online reading the funny pages. I know I did.

Oh, no, horrors, a comic strip focused on someone’s culture other than one’s own is daring to exist in a mainstream forum.
Must be nice living in a world where it’s reasonable to expect that everything be a perfect mirror of one’s own particular experiences.
