“So why is Mexico always broke?”
..............
Corruption, profiteering, and bribery, 24/7.
“Corruption, profiteering, and bribery, 24/7.”
And those are merely the product of any society run by oligarchs. In fact, that is the direction America is headed in. Corruption, profiteering, and bribery, 24/7. Almost everyone in congress is a multimillionaire despite arriving broke. Most people couldn’t maintain residences in 2 cities, one being DC, for 174k a year. Much less build a fortune.
America embraced protestantism and cutting ties to Europe.
Mexico was forced into Catholicism and Euro-empire. Spain ran them, then the Austrian Hapsburgs. France left it’s mark too.
