It's not like this is a millennial thing:
And you can keep going back. Also, the plural of crisis is crises.
Reading this list from Mexico: we used to have a disastrous economic crisis every six years, without fail, as the exiting president and their accomplices took everything that wasn’t nailed, and even contracted debt so they could steal even more.
Compared to those awful decades, having no self-inflicted major crisis since 2000 has been sweet. Unfortunately, many of the people who caused those crises are in power right now, covering their backs. It’s a matter of time before the next one.
I guess my point is: people will adapt, because they have to. Many will lose a lot, but somehow will survive. Things have to get much much worse before people can’t take it anymore.
I wish your country reacts faster than mine did, and that it doesn’t fall back again like mine seems to be doing.
Mexican here. I don't agree with you at all. To me, Mexico is finally turning into a democracy and, while things can always be better handled, things are turning for good after the horrible 2006-2018 period. About 2000-2006, yeah, it was an okay period. The president was a clown, though, but at least he was not an assassin en masse like Calderon.
Don't bother replying to me. This is a message for the other people who reads your comment, so they know not everyone thinks like you do.
