it was the entire country of Costa rica, and others, your being silly, who are you arguing for the governments and the crumbling infrastructure? Pay attention, i never said it was the apocalypse, you cant skim read shit and come up to your own ideas. I noted that how quickly the systems broke down, no internet, no phones, no cellular, all the companies here shut down, fridges at grocery stores with food going bad in only a matter of hours.
"Almost the entirety of Central America was without power", so Costa Rica and Panama are almost all of Central America? These blackouts have been going on for years, what is happening is all of these governments, all of them neo-liberals have wanted to privatize the energy sector for years, but most of the population don't want that because it just means price increases. Podes hablar Español? Con diez años me imagino que si.
yes, read the friggen articles dude! 6 countires without power... out of how many in central america. and it may not have been the entire country and some for less time than others. The point I was making was how fast infastructre for everyday survival like the just in time system would collapse.

Go ahead and call me a fanatic, I dont give a shit. Go your own way. You obviously are doing great at.. you lived there for 55 years you say? and umm what do you do? ok great. leave the kids alone and find someone your own age to talk to stupid politics with. your comment is outdated as you seem to be, stay relevant and focus on the important idea, we pull the plug and society is in dissarry in hours.
I called you a fanatic? I haven't only lived here 55 years, I am a Honduran who is 55 years old. I don't like politics, I don't watch TV, and the only reason I am commenting on what you say is because I know this is no conspiracy it is part of every day life in Central America. I have disagreed with your comment why do you get upset? If I couldn't take commentaries that are contrary to my way of thinking I wouldn't comment.
Great, start writing in Spanish, I know a huge spanish community that would probably love to hear your thoughts. I couldnt find a single post in Spanish! Yet my best friends in panama, they always write in spanish, maybe you could learn a thing or two and support the hispanic community instead.
