$8 in Mexico is like $75 in the USA with UAW
;)
Outstanding climate, industrious people...what's really holding them back is corruption at every levels of government, and opposition to any real foreign investment.
Well said. What we need is a successful and prosperous Mexico. One that can supply good paying jobs for it's people. One that can keep it's people from moving to the U.S. looking for a better life. Over time that may happen. Right now it's not. And you are right. It is the corruption inherent in that society that, at the minimum, slows that process down.
And now you understand why automakers are putting plants in Mexico. They can have happy, productive workers for $8 an hour.
And, as a personal sales bonus, each Mexican-built auto comes with a trunk full of wacky weed for the perpetually “stoned” Americans among us. That should really boost sales revenues to the Mexican drug lords.
Mexico to UAW. “THANKS GUYS!!!”
