I was born in LATAM, I lived there and travelled there (I visited 6 countries in total for work and pleasure). Of course I understand that speak on general basis is not correct, but is hard not to do it when we have a systemic corruption installed on our society since forever. I'm not only speaking about governments, you have corruption on work places (give a promotion to your friend or family) and the streets, on the daily basis of life (skipping the line if is possible for example). I don't think we as culture will be able to manage our self the finance of our countries, that is why i see in bitcoin a ray of hope. If we can have a incorruptible medium of exchange and SOV we will be THE PLACE to go and live.
btw I know we are not bad people, we are a vibrant culture (music, food, art and love) and by far the most welcoming society on earh, but I also know our flaws.

Corruption in work places you get in Europe, Asia or US/Canada. There are many layers of corruption happening all over the world and everyone has different tolerance level while playing the game in this ponzi fiat scheme to come by. LATAM is under scrutiny of the imperialist geopolitics of US and broader global north since "forever", so how can you say that a nation, population of real sovereign region, is unable to deal with their own social organization when they didn't have that luxury since being "sovereign"? Just to mention the US imposed "War on Drugs" was a tool to control and destroy LATAM communities and even their own targeted communities within US.
