I live in a poor town in the jungle. As long as you have a source of income, you can live extremely well. I you have a security guard onsite, that brings up the monthly expenses by $200-$500 depending on the coverage. I have friends renting a 3 bedroom house with an ocean view of San Juan del Sur, a pool and internet for $700 a month. Another rents a luxury house for $1000 a month. In a non-tourist town like Rivas (half an hour from the beaches), you could rent a 4 bedroom house with small yard or atrium for about $300-$400 depending on location. Right now many owners with rental properties are offering great one and two year rental contracts to keep the property occupied and cover their taxes, security, pool chemicals and repairs. Others are offering fire sale prices on condos and houses. Living out of town means a vehicle, which can be expensive and problematic to register without residency. |

[link to off-guardian.org (secure)] Great article and an example of a market based system with a good social welfare system. The author's take is all positive and I'm sure there is another side to the story of life in Nicaragua but it's still notable. The free shit commie army in our streets could learn from this but they would only focus on the welfare part and ignore the part about the work ethic and thriving small businesses. For Nicaragua, the “blue pill” of lockdown or “stay at home” would have been pure cyanide, and since its leadership long ago took the red pill, it was able to discern the true interests behind the phony rich-country pandemic discourse and its hidden “great re-set” agenda. Ironic that the great re-set seeks to drive the world into 3rd world level poverty while little third world Nicaragua moves in the opposite direction. In his poem Human Pride, Marx admits that his aim is not to improve the world, reform or revolutionize it, but simply to ruin it and enjoy it being ruined: With disdain I will throw my gauntlet full in the face of the world, And see the collapse of this pygmy giant whose fall will not stifle my ardor. Then will I wander godlike and victorious through the ruins of the world And, giving my words an active force, I will feel equal to the Creator. “Looking for consciousness in the brain is like looking in the radio for the announcer.” – Nasseim Haramein, Director of Research for the Resonance Project |
