Had an experience recently where I got to travel to Costa Rica. Very interesting and unsettling. I flew into San Juan, the capital late. Hadn’t eaten all day but hustled to my hotel. The only place to get food nearby was a friggin Denny’s. OMG! To add insult to injury the food was better than three quarters of these places I’ve been to in the States! So it began. Turns out USA companies are everywhere in the CR. Walmarts, Sherwin Williams, John Deere, Ashley Furniture are just to name a few. When the GQP complaints about globalization they sure never mention American companies taking over foreign countries do they? Hypocrites all!
