Yami is without a Job

And she is desperate.

She assumes, rightfully. that world should take care of her - but it is not. She asks "Why?" but there is no answer. 

She has always been able to get a job before, but now there are none. 

Her government will give her $200 a month, but since she is the primary provider for her family (four children by three husbands) this is not enough.

Her oldest son (who is an American by her first husband) has a job rafting in Alaska in the summers, so she does not have to support him. 

Her husband works occasionally in construction. but there are no jobs there either.

The global economy is down. because of a new Virus. Something Yami cannot comprehend.

One answer to all this popped into my inbox this morning The Pandemic and Organized Crime in Latin America.

And Why AMLO Is Going It Alone, Again, on Coronavirus
