    Laundering money from drugs this is what the CR government is awesome at.

    Yeah-come and watch all the people walking around and unfortunately you won’t see anyone carrying any packages. It’s really so sad. The employees stand around all day and no one is in the stores, just like the other malls. Washing money is all these stores and restaurants are doing. Just like those nice sweater stores, one is downtown San Jose. They look so nice but let’s face it. Who is buying nice expensive sweaters? Do you realize how many sweaters must be sold to pay the huge rents? Electricity? Salaries? Have you looked in the mall stores? How many shirts and pants must be sold to pay the several thousand dollars rent alone each month,not to mention the electric bills? How about the expensive restaurants at the malls? I mean who can afford to eat there? Not me that’s for sure. And who can compete with the condos in Escazu? How can anyone afford to pay for these? The rents and parking or the sales and the condo fees? These huge nice buildings sit empty. Maybe 2 or 3 sold in the whole building out of what? 30 or more condos? It’s really sad. I get so depressed just looking around Costa Rica. Everyone working their asses off for $10-$15 dollars per day. I don’t know how they get by really. But what about Nicaragua —sooo poor. Sorry I don’t mean to bum anyone out but I can’t help feeling sad being in CR–mostly because I don’t have any money myself and I have more than most, well had, not anymore. I had to bail out, having lost all my money living here. It feels better living in USA where people have more money and now that I am used to living in poverty I am ahead of the USA citizens because they haven’t been through living in poverty like I have and I am used to living on a thread., now most of USA will have to adjust to this way of living and they will not go easily into living in poverty. Most people are still not accepting living with pay cuts and the former way of life and the big pay per hour is gone. $9 per hour is minimum wage and rents are so high. I don’t know how people in USA can afford $1200 per month rent and more. Plus food and expenses. How can a person pay $1200 per month rent, $200 electric, $200 car insurance, $6 0r $700 health insurance. KIds clothes, etc etc. $200ncar payment. On and on. And the jobs aren’t there anymore. Truthfully I eat at a food kitchen or I would be starving.
    And guess what? If you haven’t been paying attention, the pensions are being stopped or cut waaaay back. The truck drivers, dock workers, etc. All pensions are disappearing. What are these people going to do ? The government is raiding all the pensions. If you haven’t been prudent and paid off your home–you will soon be on the streets.
    They suckered stupid people into taking out loans on their homes at ridiculous rates and those are coming due.
    Don’t you know how they sat back and figured out how stupid the general public is and they adopted a plan to steal their homes?
    Remember 2008? Now what is coming will be waaay worse. That is why Homeland security has ordered all these hollow point bullets for every department. They are ready for the riots when the shoe drops.
    Obama will NOT NOT NOT leave office my friends–mark my words.
    There will be a big event and he will say he is the best bet to handle it and that the people running for office are not equipped to handle this emergency and he will simply take over. Many will agree with him and those that don’t–well get ready.
    God has always taken care of His people
    New Living Translation Psalm 37:25
    Once I was young, and now I am old. Yet I have never seen the godly abandoned or their children begging for bread.

    Hebrews 13:5
    Keep
    your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you
    have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I
    forsake you.”
