Memphis has daily highs in August of 92, identical to Cancun, and very high humidity as well. The main difference is that Memphis cools off for half the year, whereas Cancun is always pretty hot and you don't get much break. However, while that would be a problem for people who like to do outside things, Ralph doesn't strike me as a "go for a walk" or " work outside" kind of guy? Plenty of fat slobs living in Vegas who go from AC car to AC casino to AC apartment. With delivery services, he doesn't even need to go out for food or shopping.
Yeah, I think that seals the deal and rules out Mexico... for now. Nobody is fucking driving to Cancun. Also, leave it to Ralph to reveal his new hidey hole to his best friend and NOT warn him to keep it mum and not give out any clues. So stupid. He's in the American Southeast, and I think Arkansas or Florida are the best bets.
That being said, I do think Ralph SERIOUSLY considered Mexico before deciding against it and may have that as a backup plan.
Aside from the other evidence I posted about, there are a few other things I forgot about that indicate he was serious about this:
1. When he was detained in DC, he didn't have his drivers license and his excuse was "I don't take it with me because I'm afraid I'll lose it". However, he did have his passport with him? Who the fuck does that? Well, there is that matter of the Mexican embassy sitting in DC. I suspect he at least enquired about the possibility of residency when he went to the pro-choice rally. I can see how that went "HEEEEY, beaner faggot, come over here and bow down to my mighty All-American dollar and get me muh residency, you WHOOOOREEEE! Hold on a second... my shrooms are kicking in... let me breathe for a second... OK, beaner faggot, name me your price!"
Also, I looked into the process and while they DO have a question about "are you a felon", they don't appear to check on that other than looking to see if you have an active warrant on you. However, you could get fucked later on if you get in trouble in Mexico and they find you lied on your residency forms. But Ralph may not know that and saw the question on the form and just bitched out and gave up on that plan on the spot. Down there, yeah, you probably could pay somebody off if caught, but if they don't bite then I would imagine you would be immediately deported. What they care about most is what most countries care about: can you provide for yourself? While Ralph doesn't make as much as he pretends, he is well over the bar that Mexico sets. He can show his income from Cozy, Odysee, whatever.
This also made me think that Portugal was his first choice and that the income requirements may have been too high for him there? I don't think he went there to own Warski, I think he went there scouting for a new home.
Personally, the reason I liked the Mexico angle so much is that the comedy potential is so high! Imagine Ralph getting deported for illegal immigration from Mexico of all places. The memes would never stop. Also, I had a vision of Ralph bleating during his stream "you AYYYLAWGS will NEVER find me! Never! Do you understand me?" and all of a sudden, a mariachi band next door starts practicing.
2. Ralph was already looking for Mexican whores and found his favorite one before even going there.
3. He was looking at "do I need to learn Spanish to live in Mexico" videos.
In addition, people were ruling out Cancun due to distance and time and the assumed two hour window where he was on a plane. However, you can get a direct flight from Tampa to Cancun in under two hours. Also, I don't get the logic of "Ralph flew to Memphis to check out a house that he already knows a lot about". Why would he need to? He must have seen it before? Was he worried that the uncle didn't keep it up to Ralphamale standards of cleanliness? With the Sisco information, I think that he definitely wound up in the South somewhere. However, I think that if he did go to Memphis, that he went to a property that he hadn't seen before to check it out.
It's crazy how much I'm enjoying this thread and we haven't even gotten to the good parts yet when he is inevitably found!
