Back in October - Mexican official confirms cartel gunmen forced a dozen tanker trucks to dump gasoline at gunpoint

Archive

U.S. Reps. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, and Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, also signed the letter, which accuses Mexico of trying to “nationalize its economy and renege on its commitments in the USMCA as a means of empowering its failing state-owned petroleum company.”

ohnoes Nationalizing it's economy and thwarting our not so covert attempts at undermining it! The horrors!

liberty-weeping What about the spirit of the US Mexico Canada Agreement ?!

USMCA more like US Marine Corp Agreement bougie-wink

Plus, gasoline is far more expensive in Mexico, by about 125% in some instances.

Also Californians Flock to Mexico for Cheap Gas as Prices Rise to $6 in State

Californians are traveling to Mexico for cheaper gas, as fuel prices surge following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune and the Los Angeles Times. who-did-this

Lol imagine nationalizing a widely used commodity to help manage inflation of costs being a bad thing.

Texas: it's not fair! They are doing something that isn't making massive profits!

"Make necessities cheaper? Literally 1984!"

Like shit, fossil fuels suck because they aren't renewable. But they are unfortunately a reality of the present and loads of people rely on it atm. How can a country just sit back and let all of that profit go to waste?! I bet they don't even profit off of insulin!

Mexico should be prioritizing real pressing issues like porn and trans people pissing, not gasoline prices

i like how they're sending in their tejano shills to complain about it instead of the majority white leadership; i bet cuellar wouldn't do it anyways if it he didn't already know he's a useful idiot for these people.
