I’m from NJ/NY and I feel safer when I go on vacation to Mexico than I do going to Newark/Atlantic City/ Queens + Bronx/ some parts of Philly especially at night. I’d rather walk around in Cancun with $100 taped to my forehead than go into Camden at night lol

People can’t even vacation there right now without worrying about being targeted by the fuckhead cartel, but it’s ok let’s send all of the worlds athletes there it’ll be fine

Performance Enhancing Drug Cartels

In Puerto Vallarta, NJGC is the big power player cartel, and it was reported last year that they had stake in 70% of the legitimate businesses in the city. The cartels don’t play around in tourist areas, that’s where all of their money comes from.

Lived there for a little under a year, can confirm that the cartel was everywhere, and that they played nice as long as you didn’t mess with them in any way. Honestly felt safer there than in any American city I’ve been in in a long time, even when walking around alone in the middle of the night.

Yep. The only times people really get killed or anything in the touristy areas they’re typically already having wronged the cartels. Otherwise the cartel stays in line because they know to keep the area safe or the money leaves. I’m sure they own stake in most of the resorts or night clubs. Not to mention the Mexican Marines are in charge of the resort areas, and they typically are the only law enforcement that isn’t totally corrupt and they do a good job of keeping stuff very safe and in line.

I'd be curious if it'd improve the long jump and some other games. Obviously it'd hinder most, but I'd still be curious as to the effects

You’re a ray of sunshine.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yeah but my joke works better if we assume Mexico City.

Yeah it’s just what the Mexican people needed! Something that is a huge waste of government money! Also, it’s gonna be amazing for the athletes, at over two kilometers or seven thousand feet above sea level.

Lol Mexico thinking there will still be civilization on this planet in 2040

I haven’t seen someone in quite a while that was so fucking willing to not except an absolutely obvious L.

I guess for the first makes sense but after that, doesn't make sense but oh well.

Not just that, but Mexico City does not just have horrible air quality, but is also 2250 meters or 7350 feet above sea level. That is not gonna fly with the athletes

Mexico, US, Canada combined for Olympics would be cool. Spread it out and reduce economic burden
