Imagine this happening today…

Bingo.

it doesn’t, but ‘whinger’ is a very common word in Australia to describe somebody who complains about insignificant things - especially English people when they talk about differences between England and Australia. To say this thread is ‘whingy’ means that it is full of petty complainers.

It was four wheel drive, so it may have been a manual transmission for off-roading, which would be fairly common in those parts. The fact that it was brand new suggests the possibility that they didn’t realize a manual can roll on a steep incline if the handbrake isn’t engaged (of course it could also have simply been left in neutral, regardless of the transmission type).
Australian for the way an English person complains about everything in Australia
all aboard! Coming soon to your local employment office.
it gets a bit unsettling and empty when you get into your 40s.

Hookers and blackjack coming soon.
I’m getting laid.

Thanks for the additional info. Sorry - that article I posted was not very well researched - I should have looked for something better, but was just making a point that inequity is still a big problem in a “prosperous” Mexico.
I appreciate you also confirming that working conditions in maquiladoras are accountable to some decent standards, and that they provide additional benefits - overtime pay rates being one of them, which is encouraging to hear - I wonder if that was due to labor unions or not.
Clearly, they are better places to work than many other local options. So for sure, not everything about maquiladoras is negative - and they are certainly not the root cause of disparity in North America. Thanks again for correcting the perception I might have given with that article.
Concur. Also long time user here - but prefer to skip the data collection bit. Imagine showing up at the dentist some day and being chided for missing your back molars last Tuesday.
It’s from “Life of Brian”, and somewhat related to Jewish identity. Here’s the referenced scene - recommend the whole movie if you’ve never seen it.
