The US government can't secure its own prisons where it has full control, what make you believe it would do better in a Mexican city?

The US government can't secure its own prisons where it has full control, what make you believe it would do better in a Mexican city?
- Hnrobert42 6y agoThe US does do better, empirically. I am certainly not endorsing GP’s position, but your false equivalence is a distraction.
- cambalache 6y agoIt really doesnt, especially when controlled by income the US does a worst job.
- jokethrowaway 6y agoI'd rather live in an American city then in a Mexican city. Granted, I'd pick a European city over both (albeit that's country dependant, Southern Europe city life is getting considerably worse)
- jmnicolas 6y agoAnd as a European I'd pick a Japanese city any day. So I guess the grass is always greener somewhere else :)
- cambalache 6y agoControlled by income? I will pick Mexico every single time. At 800 USD/month you can live a middle class life in plenty of very nice and safe places in Mexico. Try that in America.
- smabie 6y agoThat's not what "controlling for income" means. So let's make this clear, you would rather make $843/month (median) in Mexico vs $3714/month (median) in America?
- jgwil2 6y agoCitation for that?
- jmnicolas 6y agoThe US does better in a US city obviously, but I was speaking about a Mexican city: different economic conditions, different culture etc.
