Some of us even live in Mexico. Crazy, right?

  I never felt unsafe in Mexico and actually enjoy it a lot more than my yearly visits to the US. Incredibly friendly people, great food and beautiful places. Regarding violence, I find that most drug related violence stays contained within the cartel-world. Whilst in the US, random shootings are.. random.. Not that I feel unsafe in the US either though, the odds are pretty good that nothing will happen in either country. (Most of my time in Mexico is spent in NL, Monterrey, and most of my time in the US near San Antonio, Texas. So I can't speak for either country in it's entirety of course)

    > Whilst in the US, random shootings are.. random.. What you are saying is astonishingly untrue. https://crimeresearch.org/2017/04/number-murders-county-54-us-counties-2014-zero-murders-69-1-murder/ https://crimeresearch.org/2017/04/number-murders-county-54-u...

      I was basing myself mostly on things like mass shootings such as during a recent eSports competition or the school shootings. But, my previous message might have indicated an idea of random shootings everywhere every day, which is not what I meant. As mentioned, it is not that I feel unsafe in either country and I realise most parts are safe. Thank you for the interesting link though!

      The business implications are clear. https://xkcd.com/1138/ https://xkcd.com/1138/
