Mexican Cement CEO offers to help construction of THE WALL - Polidicks

[quote] “We can’t be choosy,” said Enrique Escalante, the company’s CEO. A Mexican cement maker is ready to lend its services to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump to build the wall he wants to erect on the southern border of the United States to curb immigration. “We can’t be choosy,” Enrique Escalante, Chief Executive Officer of Grupo Cementos de Chihuahua (GCC) said in an interview. “We’re an important producer in that area and we have to respect our clients on both sides of the border.” Republican Trump campaigned vowing to build a “big, beautiful, powerful” wall across the 2,000 mile (3,200 km) frontier in order to stop illegal immigrants from Mexico, which he accused of sending rapists and drug traffickers north. The campaign of the New York businessman who has never previously held public office was widely reviled in Mexico.[/quote] [url=http://fortune.com/2016/11/24/donald-trump-mexico-border-wall/]Fortune[/url]

Capitalist narcissism at its finest

The joke being of course that the wall will keep the Americans in rather than the Mexicans out. Now all Canada needs to do is build its wall and there will be no escape for any Americans.

Personally if I were Enrique Escalante I'd offer to do it for free. No better way to keep those filthy Americans out after all.

didn't stalin not have a pretty fitting quote for this? something like [I]"when the time comes to hang the capitalists, they'll sell us the rope"[/I]

[QUOTE=*Freezorg*;51423052]Sounds like something an edgy 12 year old would say, which I guess befits Stalin.[/QUOTE] as edgy as it seems it's a good statement. a normal person wouldn't want the wall being built and it certainly doesnt help mexico in any way on having to build/help build the wall, yet people from mexico are voluntarily doing so.

[QUOTE=*Freezorg*;51423052]Sounds like something an edgy 12 year old would say, which I guess befits Stalin.[/QUOTE] It's dark, but not far from the truth. I live in a country where the sick and the dying are milked for every cent they have by the companies that make medicine to keep them alive to buy more medicine.

As if the wall will do anything to stop illegal immigration, everyone knows this and this here CEO is looking to make some mad bucks off the back of some fool.

[QUOTE=*Freezorg*;51423052]Sounds like something an edgy 12 year old would say, which I guess befits Stalin.[/QUOTE] Josef Stalin-- a man who manipulated and murdered his way into gaining absolute power over the Soviet Union and who exterminated 34-49 million people in his own country, including some of his own family members-- was an "edgy 12-year-old" for making an accurate observation about politics and economics? Alrighty then.

Leaving just because Trump won is crazy but if the nation falls deeper and deeper into a nationalistic tantrum yeah fuck this place bye.

Well it makes sense, this way the Mexican economy can profit from it. I mean lets be honest the CEO of a cement company isn't going to be the type of person who's going to try and enter the US illegally so why the fuck would he care.

That being that capitalism is a system that's meant to sell everything, from guns, to healthcare, to propaganda, to news and truth and that that has a negative affect on things

I think most people would help others, at least with their family and close friends.

Maybe something to do with global warming?
