Third journalist gunned down in Honduras in two weeks

0

As we regularly hear about "press repression" in Nicaragua, this bit of regional news seems to add a bit of perspective. Much like the article about dealing with mining activists in El Salvador, murder is an effective way of eliminating those ongoing complaints.

In any case, I am glad I run NicaLiving and not HondLiving.

Mining in El Salvador

As we have Nicaragua and Guatemala covered, I decided adding this article about mining in El Salvador fit right in. The similarity is another Canadian company. The main difference is that it sounds like murder is the solution.

A lot of new alternatives have popped up since I built my first PV installation 20 years ago on a beach on the west side of the Sea of Cortez.

Then, I just read about a Lesbian high school student in Mississippi who wanted to go to the prom with her girlfriend. The school canceled the prom.

Yesterday, another data point got added to my list that is making it sound like there is a change in "personal foreign investment". First, what I am talking about is Nicaraguans moving to some country where they can make a higher wage and sending part of it back to Nicaragua. The concept, of course, is not new.
