    Does Miami just exert some irresistible pull on gusanos of all nations?

      I think the trend started with Miami having a high spanish speaking population, not sure if because Cuban gusanos fleeing or remnants of Florida being a spanish colony.

        Lots of money in Miami, lots of sea traffic, and lots of business centers. So I imagine this creates a natural hub for bourgeoisie reactionaries from overseas.

        Sort of like how Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan are hot beds of East Asian reactionary communities.

          I have a a 40-something friend from Buenos Aires who sends her daughter to a very expensive school cuz their ex-inlaws are rich fucks and pays for it. So she has to deal with the other mothers, and one time a group of them invited her to a "shop weekend" in Miami via private jet.

              It really stuck in my brain and I hope never to forget it.

              Like, that's a 12 hours flight only to get there, to shop (and probably smuggle drugs and shit) via private jet.

              God I hate them,

              Anyways, I have other friends with anecdotes of similar shit, like :

              "Hey, we need to make this presentation for Tuesday's class, when can we meet?"

              "Ah sorry I'm going to Miami this weekend"

                Like, that’s a 12 hours flight only to get there, to shop (and probably smuggle drugs and shit) via private jet.

                It's so comically frivolous for so many reasons. Every day, I pray for more small plane crashes.

                Anyways, I have other friends with anecdotes of similar shit, like

                Obnoxious once for the squandering of resources and again for the blith attitude towards education. Like "fuck do I care, I'm just going to work for the family business anyway".

                This is what some poor bastard working 60 hour weeks on Min Wage at the Shop'n'Save is ultimately paying for.
