In Peru's defense...This is ALL over the world...
Most "gang members under the ruse of government" in underdeveloped countries only see us, "the gringos", as cash cows!
PS. I have TONS of stories of million-dollar business deals that NEVER happened in underdeveloped countries because the locals wanted me to hire them, their cousins, their goats, their dogs, their neighbors with stipends and bonuses etc etc... maybe amounting to US$5K per month, while had they done the deal independently from being a wage slave, they would have earned +$1M a year. How their "logic", for lack of a better term, functions is mind-boggling & a mystery to me.
