I don't know if this is correct, but after a quick Google search, I found that in the U.S. the top 10% of earners control 76% of the total wealth... and I thought Mexico had a rough wealth distribution...
Your video is stupid, you lacked analysis skills and timing. China's fast rising was when the world economy was booming from the 70's to 2020. Right now, the world is in a recession and production is slowing down, Mexico will never see the same success as China.
As a mexican, i don’t think mexicans prefer informal economy due to its low healthcare and education benefits, instead we all (no matter our economic ability) prefer to avoid paying taxes because politicians, especially presidents, take too much money for their own benefit and end up getting it out of the country. Take for example the last two presidents who now live in spain with OUR MONEY.
Yeahhh, this guy is definitely a sales rep. Speaks of all of the benefits and just few downsides with no actual input from the people he’s talking about.
I’ve always been an advocate of unreserved support for Mexican development. Imagine if Mexico was as successful as Canada or even the US. North America would truly be an unstoppable economic force
Clicked for the Mexican axolotl, stayed for the explanation of Mexican socio-economic conditions. My Mexican grandma sells bags of maize straight from her home. Quite often when I’m visiting there’ll be someone knocking on the front door wanting to purchase said bags, and when I was younger I used to help her out
I'm a dual citizen. I was born in the US and gained birthright citizenship through my father. When I turned 30 I opened up a few gyms in Mexico. What hoser talks about, red tape, is spot on. Everyone's gotta eat, so everyone has to get their palms greased. If you file to get permits the "conventional" way, you'll eventually die of old age. You have to grease the right palms who then tell you what the "expidited" cost will be so he can then grease the palms of those above him. I never had to pay a "cartel" tax but that mostly happens with smaller street gangs or young cartels. The cartel that runs my region is much more established and larger. They don't deal with picking up pennies when they're making millions every passing hour. With that said, one of their people has come to one of my gyms and asked to see my books. Make of that what you will.
@@justice.01997 first and foremost, get the citizenship. If you have a parent who was born in Mexico, it's so much easier. If you don't, you'll need to go through the residency status option. Consult an immigration lawyer for that. As for opening a business, as mentioned in the video, it's hard. Too much red tape. You'll need to become friends with someone who already has a business and is willing to help you through the process of getting permits (yes, believe it or not, you need permits in Mexico) you could also find a lawyer who already knows which hands need to get greased to get you where you need to go. For instance I wanted one of my gyms to be 24 hours but there's a noise ordinance which basically doubles as a curfew law in that area. If you get caught breaking the rules of the permits you are granted, they can take away your permits. It's easier to be a landlord in Mexico though, unless you're building some massive highrise, you can buy land or buy homes no problem. Remember, Mexico is vast, the difficulty changes from city to city, state to state. Even the hot dog vendors have permits that are more than likely passed down from grandfather to father to son. As a protip, live in the area you want to do business in and learn about the city. The best way to learn about the city is go on Facebook groups, Mexicans love gossip so you'll hear all the rumblings and ins and outs of where you plan on settling
If it helps Mexico, it helps the United States. We gain nothing by having a cesspit of crime and poverty on our southern border. Indeed, it hamstrings our own quality of life and national security. Helping Mexico achieve a standard of living comparable to other Western nations should be our top foreign policy objective.
The US can’t really do anything to help mexico, the government is very anti American “meddling”.. we had an opportunity to make free trade deals under trump but he completely dismissed/botched the opportunity and that door is now slammed shut with the new Mexican government.

Mexico is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Imagine if they didn’t have a crime and corruption problem. All of north and South America would benefit if Mexico continues to improve. 🇺🇸🇲🇽🇨🇦
In spite of its PREVIOUS governments. The current one has moved the country forward in strides thanks to its strengthening of the domestic market, avoiding foreign debt, investing heavily in public works and oil refining, reducing public spending at the highest levels of government, thwarting tax evasion by the biggest corporations and securing national resources like lithium and oil.
@@magtovi Good. I hope they strengthen their educative system as well to form citizens capable of understanding where they are. Part of the reason corruption is so prevalent is because the masses are uneducated, and just follow leads without thinking twice what they are truly doing
Wrong! A destabilized Mexico helps Murican corporations extract maximum profits out of Mexico. You are thinking like a filthy peasant. You need to think like that capitalist ghouls that own everything.
How the fuck does that make sense? Mexico is controlled by cartels, and they make money on deadly narcotocs that kill americans while using that money to further militarized the cartels. That is mexicos primary export, drugs and poor immigrants. That helps Mexicans while killing Americans, HOW THE FU#@ IS THAT GOOD FOR AMERICA?
I am Mexican, and I recently went to the mall for the first time in like a month, I was genuinely surprised to see so many products (particularly aeropostale shirts) that had the "Made in Mexico" label. It is not something common to see, at least not in my own personal experience. Made in China or Indonesia or Malaysia is usually the trend
@@ezrollerjIMO any North American company getting that business is better than China getting it. The US needs to strengthen their relationship with Mexico so they don't align with BRICS nations (Russia, China, etc)
Fun Fact: since Northern Mexico is where the bulk of Mexican manufacturing takes place, not only are they are exponentially more dependent on the United States than the rest of Mexico, but the average Northern Mexican is far better off than the average Southern Mexican despite the fact that the cartel is more prevalent in the northern parts of the country.
I’m a well educated Mexican, living in Mexico City, and I have to say that this video was spot on, you touched topics such as the 60% rate of informal work which makes it harder to invest in infrastructure. It might have been good to talk about how the drug cartels sell the products not for Mexicans but for Americans mostly being the US the main customer of the drug cartels, which can be fought with regulations in the US instead of a drug war in Mexico, killing thousands of people throughout the way. It’s all about a companionship between Mexico and the US. Nice vid !
Regulations fix drug abuse? I would definitely like to hear what regulations you are proposing… Decriminalizing and taxing could impact it but it’s not creating more regulations…
@@mdtaylor67 Maybe the USA have to regulate their guns? The cartels can only have the power they got by having the guns they have (guns that come from the USA)
Actually regulations is a good idea, it happened to alcohol in its time and now it’s happening to marijuana, at the end, a consumer will always find a way to consume, so why not tax it 🤷🏻♂️
I’m from Arizona, I love the place that I was born and raised, it really is beautiful. I noticed very early growing up that all of that beauty is sold off, from the Grand Canyon and the petrified forest to the Mogollon Rim and all of the countless mountain ranges… I hate to be all pessimistic but I just feel like my gov. could’ve from the start, but it just makes too much f’kin money😔
I actually bought a car made in Mexico recently, a Ford Maverick and I love the thing. Well put together and I know the Mexican people are hard workers and take great pride in their work. I had no issue buying it! Love it!!
Man I'm Mexican and the concept of fear of growth makes sooo much sense. The idea of setting your own business, feels like a terrible idea. There are so many anecdotes of entrepreneurs getting killed for refusing or being unable to pay cartels. A lot of people don't even bother trying to make their own business to avoid having to ever deal with that.
Yo también soy mexicano. Pienso que es una mezcla entre miedo y falta de esperanza. Absolutamente nadie se cree que el gobierno vaya a mejorar o que la violencia vaya a bajar :/ porque no ha sucedido en toda nuestra historia. Ojalá y todo mejore pronto.
As it should be, not even with the cartels or the government but growth that comes too fast had ruined dozens of countries over the last 100 years. And its VERY hard to get people to understand that no you can't have economic growth and mobility along with stability and happiness because if you did it could tip the balance. That's a hard pill to swallow and an understandably bitter one.
@@terminator572 not even close to what I said, fear of growth is a positive thing that should stay with the Mexican people as it will temper their minds expectations and keep them from going full speed and screwing themselves like so many other countries have done especially south of the border, progress must be in tier steps over decades not instantly and again like I said it is very hard to tell people that they can't have positive growth and opportunities and better lives simply because it's going to take a good while before it can get to them while they still bear the brunt of all the hard work on the backend required to get there so it will be decades before they see returns that benefit them
@@victorkreig6089 "not even close to what i said". you literally said as it should be as your first sentence when replying to a comment stating how people who want to grow get killed by the cartels
As a Latino kid in the us I’ve always seen everyone either ignore Mexico or absolutely hate it in the media so I was surprised how everyone in the comment section even in the new comments want to support Mexico It just felt nice that everyone wants to support Mexico 🇲🇽
That’s mostly bc the media focuses on drama, tragedy and bullshit, especially when it comes to other countries. Meanwhile, basically every single American knows, respects and probably loves a Mexican-American/family. Of course there’s a small vocal minority of rabid racists but they’re pretty much irrelevant 🙅🏻♀️Us+ Mexico have infinite problems between the two, like both within each country and relations with each other, but on most levels there’s a lot of love (in my small town Southern USA opinion lol)
Based on my experience working with mexican people when I was working low wage jobs, they are by far the hardest working people I have ever had the pleasure to work with, I dont get the hate mexico gets in the media, I get it there is crime but most mexicans I have met are all very hardworking and nice people. If people in mexico are anything like those I worked with, I am 100% sure mexico will flourish and I hope they do.
@@phoebesekine4783 as a Mexican born citizen living in the US, the vast amount of disrespect and ignorance towards the Mexican people is astounding. Hope we as neighbors understand our cultures and forms of living more in the future. Peace
Since Mexico is part of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. This can boost not only just the Mexican economy, but the American and Canadian economy as well.
Mexico is such a beautiful country with amazing people. However, Mexico is unfortunately plagued with cartel problems and government corruption. I'm sure if Mexico does solves these problems then it will be one of the most beautiful countries on Earth.
The people joinning the army and some of the dedicated police forces also seem to have gained a strong sentiment to fight back in the last 10-15 years. Its not enough yet but we see it
I hope that the stories of problems will visiting Mexico leads to decreased tourism and brings more tourism back to the United States...you said in your post that Mexico is beautiful and plagued with problems, a positive plus a negative equals a big ZERO!!!
There's a third one, education of the masses, if we as Mexicans don't prepare future generations correctly, as early as teaching your child basic values, the story is bound to repeat, far too many kids now days aspire only to become narcos because they only see fast money as success. And eradicating corruption can only work out if it doesn't fall into it again.

I despise the cartel with all my heart dude, my family lives in Guanajuato and every time I go and visit. I always ALWAYS get stopped by cartel after crossing the border. I’m lucky nothing has ever happened to me but to think the whole country is run by these thugs just makes my blood boil. I hate cartels with everything in me.
Mexico might not be able to project its military like the US or China but it can definitely match its levels of manufacturing which in return help boosts its economy & living standards. Hopefully the next few decades put Mexico on par with most Western European countries in terms of safety, infrastructure & quality of life!
I was born in Mexico but immigrated to the US as a child. I would make me happy to see Mexico prosper. Not only because Mexicans are genuinely good people with a culture thats pretty similar to American culture, or because so many average Mexicans have suffered for so long, but because it would also make the entirety of North America stronger. I would love to live in not only the most powerful nation, but the most powerful continent.
Didn't they have the uncensored version of Dragon Ball? Because that's automatically a win already. American culture has poisoned the world too much, it's time for a new culture to take the role of dominance.
As a Mexican I can only say I do hope we can revolutionize a way to still preserve this "informal" businesses that are carefully mentioned throughout the video, I think most mexicans can agree that such businesses while not being specially productive to the economy are part of our beloved culture and culinary traditions that have made us shine in the global stage. I simply cannot fathom a world where I can no longer visit some of my favorite local food stalls that are sometimes attended by such different peoples and traditions of my diverse country. Loved the video btw.
I don't see that would be an issue tbh. Economy transition happened in China didn't remove traditional food stalls in the city and lower their culture significance. Local food and night market still thrived in the ever growing lobar-populated city center. Government just have to come up with a way to find alternative tax income instead of taxing the lower class business.
Mexico is a beacon for other developing nations to follow, especially us in Nigeria, and the rest of Africa. One thing I absolutely admire about them is that they used their proximity to the USA as a way to get more developed. Through their legal migratory workers (and even some illegal ones) and through sponsored training programs and improved education, their citizenry got more educated, more financially strong and used their new knowledge and wealth to reinvest and develop their country. Now Mexico is industrializing on a rapid scale and since their labor cost less than China and they're closer to the USA, more factories and industries are relocating to Mexico. Absolutely genius and we'll earned success.
Coupled with a more positive relationship with their neighbor and the lack of need to heavily invest in the military since anyone stupid enough to invade Mexico will infuriate not just the US government but the people as well.
Mexico is becoming more diverse with Chinese and European investments, but there is still a racism problem in rural parts. Haitians are discriminated against by smugglers, sadly. Much love from México to our African brothers.
@@angelgjr1999 i remember meeting a haitian Woman on the mall, it's... The First time i saw someone that isn't Taiwanese or German, she asked me for Directions and some stuff, i gladly helped her, and hope she is adapting well to Mexico

@@fumothfan9 Not as extremely as some eastern asian countries like China for example; but being a hard working and reliable person is a beautiful value over here, but I feel parents are teaching it less and less
If only it were about manufacturing but it is also about developing our own technologies and scientific research without that we will still be just maquila for other countries.
You've never helped any countries 😂😂😂 just yourselves to their resources and their labor. How else does a country that makes nothing stay so rich? I'm amazed Americans feel so entitled when they literally produce nothing of value apart from war
I was born and raised in the US. In 2019, I met my future wife as a coworker, who was born and raised in the State of Mexico. Over the last 4 years, I've learned to speak Spanish, and learned an enormous amount of the Mexican culture and country's history. I'm actually writing this while on another trip to her hometown. The Mexico we know as Americans and the real Mexico are two hugely different things. We're told it's just a desert with some beaches. The reality of Mexican geography is staggering. Mexico has deserts, mountains, beaches, valleys, jungles, pretty much everything but frozen tundra. Socially, the Mexican culture is increidbly vibrant. More often than not, people will go out of their way to help. And they love their country. Yes, it has issues, but beyond those issues is an amazing place with incredible potential. Perosnally, I hope to see a day where Mexico and the US dont feel so far apart, becuase there's so much to appreciate here, everytime I visit. And honestly, there's a lot the US can learn from it.

So as a relatively young mexican , I'm aware I might be ignorant about many things, but one thing that makes me absolutely wary of foreign companies doing manufacturing in our country is that Mexico is a wonderfully rich country in flora and fauna, megadiverse in ecosystems with many endemic species and natural wonders, AND we also have a government that doesn't seem to give two shits about that when it actually counts, let alone said foreign companies that certainly won't care if they destroy the natural resources on their way to making an even slightly better profit (as they're already prone to do) and when the local ppl are often as described in a hard position and can't rly afford to care either as they try for a better life, AND considering both ecologists and activist being murdered is a common occurrence... well, it paints an awfully bleak picture
You are 100% right to get concerned about countries setting up shop in Mexico. I am concerned about one in particular , known for slavery of 12-yr-olds forced to live in tiny dorms, working long hours with little pay, building the tech products for the "A" company, and jumping to their deaths! Add their lousy quality control, lack of any safety measures, the flotillas, sucking up the sealife out of every ocean, taking over Pacific Islands, Tibet, and, now attacking the India-Nepal border, known for enslavement and forced labor of thousands, and a general disregard for human rights! Recently, an illegal Chinese bio lab was found to be operating hidden right here in California. How many of these things exist? And why are they insisting that they be in he heart of Mexicos' newfound status for manufacturing? 🎉👀 Yet, I don't hear anyone discussing all this, and we all need to be extremely cautious. I Love Mexico. I have many Mexican friends. I fear for the country with certain neigbours moving in. -R. 🎉❤
as a mexican, im impressed of how well educated and informated you are about our country, and thanks for educating more americans and embracing our culture :D

as an american, I'm tired of the media always talking about drug wars, migrants and corruption. Mexico has major issues with those things sure, but I also want to learn nice things about our southern neighbors. I always wanted to visit Mexico city.
Great video as usual but one clarification... the informal economy also pay taxes, just not pay to the government. I´m from a small town between Morelos and Mexico City, and here every business pay to the local narco, no matter the size of the business everyone has to pay. In Mexico city the street vendors, still have to pay if not directly to the government, they have to pay to their "leaders" that allow them to work on the streets.
What’s the general feeling you have for the narcos doing that? I’ve heard mixed opinions (coming from a US citizen), and does it depend on the cartel in charge?
Is it a flat rate? or is the price you pay on tiers based on the revenue/profit of the business? and what happens when payment isn't made (deliberately or otherwise)?
@@colehowe in the case of my town is the cartel is CJNG (cartel Jalisco nueva generación), in the capital the street vendors have to pay to Union de Tepito... Since the cartels "work" openly and I have seen the same guys that collect the money talking with the local police.... There is nothing to do.... Resignation is the general attitude from the population... In other cases is open admiration for the cartels... Best parties, cars beautiful women, etc.
@@trtl9106 no every business pay different, I had an internet coffee and pay a different rate than a convenient store or a construction materials store, that were my neighbors
@@Chepicoro I live in a northern State where things are ''hotter'' and I've never seen that happening. It's the government the one taxing ambulant vendors and informal business.
The north is crime ridden not the south. Cartels make a large amount of money by shipping drugs into the US so they are all in the north. Yucatan is safer while Tamaulipas is a nightmare.
I am proudly Mexican and I live here, and it is true what is in the video, there are many problems as well as many very positive areas, but I feel that the country is improving

I swear to God in the late/early 2000s there was a lot of backlash to "bring jobs back to the US" like manufacturing and clothes making since Mexico did most of that. It was around the time the first US Mexico Border fence went up around 2007. It was actually a school assignment for us to find things in our houses that were "Made in Mexico" and write em down to see how much was actually made in Mexico. After that fence went up it seemed you started to see less and less "Made in Mexico" and more and more "Made in China"
Born and raised Mexican. My dad was a formal business owner and I remember how much he hated to be in the minority that pays taxes. But he always did. The way things are set up funny allow those business to grow the way they could.. The video is well informed. I'm impressed tbh. Thanks for taking some interest in ius. Our histories are very much intertwined.
Mexicans are the greatest people in world. They deserve to live and work in an economy that makes sense and improves their lives. I hope things keep going in the right direction for them.
I’m Mexican, I work as a freelance editor. It’s true, I checked with my parents accountant because I wanted to pay my taxes but I would get zero benefits and I’d lose a huge amount of money that I don’t even benefit from because I’m privileged, meaning I rely on private infrastructure that is very cheap and reliable over here. I wanna do the right thing eventually when I can afford it because I wanna contribute to the betterment of our society but sometimes it feels like most taxes are just money politicians steal and the richer you are the more you can avoid them legally and the less you even rely on them. There’s exceptions, Mexico City is an amazing city with amazing subsidies and public infrastructure that most people rely on, even upper middle class people, on a day to day basis
Chequeo de nacionalidad: En tus propias pablabras describe una quesadilla o describe porque comer tortas de tamal deveria ser conciderado un pecado capital

I remember when I moved to San Diego and went to Tijuana for the first time in 23 years. I was amazed by how much things have improved there. It's not perfect but compared to how it was 23 years ago when you had tons of dogs wandering around looking super skinny and tons of people lined up at the border begging for a few cents. Things have definitely gotten way better. Even crime has gone down significantly, at least now you can walk around most of the city without getting kidnapped, still some parts that even the locals try to avoid but every city has places like that now. They have the tourist area where mostly everything is over priced and then you have parts that are safe to go to that you can pay the normal price which super cheap in comparison. Still probably won't go to Mexicali and sure as hell will not go to Tecate but Tijuana has definitely improved greatly in the past two decades. If only they would fix their sewage problems so the beaches in Southern San Diego wouldn't have to be closed for weeks or months because of contaminated water.
So you wouldn't go to Mexicali and Tecate (way safer cities than Tijuana) but you'd go to Tj (the most dangerous city in the State)? How's that supposed to work?
@@davidcervantes9336 Tecate is run by two rival cartels and they have an on going war for control of the city and Mexicali is too hot temperature wise. TJ isn't as bad as you think. I go there every weekend and have never had any problems. Just listen to the locals, if they tell you to not go to a certain area, listen to their advice and you'll be fine.
@@NinjaKitty91_ I'm from Baja, mate. Ensenada, specifically, but I've lived in every major city in the State: 6 years in Tj, 4 years Mexicali, a few months in Tecate and Rosarito. Yes, the place is safe, but among them, Tj is the most dangerous. Why? simply because of its size. Common crime (what actually affects regular civilians) is more of a problem there than it is in the rest of the cities, add to this the fact that the drug cartels' operations are more active. I've never suffered common crime in my 30 years of existence in any city in the State but one, Tj. And to be fair, it was only once, but it was THERE and nowhere else.
As a Mexican I kinda agree with your points of how to make progress and economical growth...but I really have to ask: growth and progress...for who exactly? You condensed perfectly the systematic problems with Mexico right at the beginning of the video. Cartel violence, inequality and government corruption are problems that have permeated and taken its toll on the mentality of the average Mexican. The government is the only one that can end the cartel problem but they will definitely NOT do it because it's not in their best interest. And all that hypothetical growth will only benefit those in power while the average person would still be treated poorly by the government, cartels and employeer. Why do you think many poor people want to leave this place? Or young, prepared and well educated people still want to leave this place?
@@Wizthefurbo "The violence is bad but it can be overcome" Understatement of the fucking year, everybody! Do you have any idea how bad the cartel problem is? This is no mere gang wars killing each other in a small zone of a state. This is something that has been so ingrained into the Mexican culture and mentality that is probably not going anywhere anytime soon, at least not by our government sice those are the ones that benefit the most dealing with them economically... either the good way or the bad way. Also, of course gringos would be safe in Mexico. Cartels don't really target gringos unless they get too much into their affairs. If they stay away then they would not dare to kill Americans, unless they wish to be manhunt by the American government directly or by pressuring the Mexican government to do it or else.
@@Wizthefurboi'm sorry to say this man but this comment of yours s coming from a place of ignorance, México may seem like a country that's slowly growing in it's economy, but those riches are really unjustly dispersed, you should try and see firsthand how predominant the lower class is here and how unjust it can be
As someone who still has family in Mexico there's some areas i cannot see grow from a technological standpoint, there's still villages who live in the mountains or jungles and there's still small towns that are straight up uncharted on modern maps

chinese here who is a huge fan of the mexican culture and people (speaks spanish, plays corrido and make my own salsa) I'm super glad mexico can find an opportunity to improve their living conditions I think part of why china was able to develop fast is that the chinese people made a costly trade. the chinese people traded a their own (political) freedom for an orderly, collective society. in exchange, they gained other kinds of freedom, such as economical freedom, being able to live a more comfortable life and without poverty it's a costly trade because the people _should_ have a say on how they're being governed, i.e. a democracy but the chinese, knowingly, chose to sacrifice their political freedom for stability, submitting to one central government and trust that it can take care of them historically, this strategy has worked well, leading to long stable dynasties historically, this strategy also catastrophically backfired, leading to millions of deaths as noone can challenge the government the joke is that the chinese have conducted elections, except at 300 year intervals in bloody overthrown of the previous dynasty, with relatively stable and prosperous society in between. whether the mexican people can make the same kind of trade is uncertain, and I wish them the best lucks
Yes, we can and ARE WILLING to make any kind of sacrifices. We have always been a nation that's renowned for being willing to sacrifice some goods for others. But we're not Chinese. The things we have to give in in order to become a developed country are not the same as the ones you gave in. We have managed to remain a free and open society despite the many internal and external pressures, and we will certainly carry on down that path.
Both geography and social structure builds a nation's character - pretty much the same as how both builds individual character. I got nothing to say about geopolitics - being rural Indonesian would make my opinion on that ambivalent. Just get off from that bloody sea. What i meant is that if something would helps people more then it's good. Dire situation both happened in Mexico and rural China, but in Mexico it spread more to national level compared the Chinese. With current favorable geopolitics and deglobalization, the Mexicans would fare off better after all those dire situation, which was good. Situation in rural China pretty much resolvable locally, with strong ruler and very much matching legal ideology it isn't distant possibility. About degree of political freedom - for a nation has such complex history of dynasties, I believe China hasn't exactly prepared to that yet. And for what its worth, current Chinese society has far off better than they were centuries ago. Just hope for someone who's a mix between Zhou and Bo would make into power, maybe they'll work and get rid of the princelings.
Being a Mexican, born and raised, most people would be willing to make that trade, and historically, everytime we have a strong central authority the country truly moves forward, btw theres a decent sized chinese population, hard working people
You only get the y/j sound in Spanish when there's a double ll, not when there's only one l. So Maquiladora is pronounced with an l sound, not a y/j sound.
Mexico and the US have been intertwined almost since birth, much of the land we have is former spanish colonies and mexican territories so its shocking how many people still villify mexico
As a european I too hope the EU recognizes Mexico's manufacturing capability and start to move some production to Mexico. They are WAY more reliable than China inspite of their corrupt government.
@@osheridan you need better reading comprehension. Never said that we should stop all trade, but industry and jobs in your nation can only benefit you.
It’s so hard not to listen to Peter. His basis of reasoning coming from demographics and geography makes it like impossible to disagree with so much of what he’s saying

Counterpoint, I'm Mexican and Mexico has an amazing story of big fuck ups, so I bet it's not going to be an easy path. I'm currently studying in the manufacturing field and hopefully we'll make it work, i have faith in my country and I'll try and do my part
6:43 I actually got to meet Fernando, the politician in the left at a Walmart here in the USA. He was so nice & was loved by the entire Mexican community across from as he was trying his hardest to make changes which no other local gov’t tried to do so. It shocked the whole community on both sides of the border once we heard & saw videos of him getting executed behind his back. Tbh he should’ve just saved his comments for himself to stay safe.
Man, I think Mexico could be an amazing country to live in all the way around if they do development the right way. We've seen countries in Scandinavia for example do really well with development in a way that serves the people, resulting in safety, equality and overall high standards of living. However, I think the isolationist cultures that exist there have limited the people's happiness somewhat. If a country with a vibrant and community-based culture like Mexico were to see similar, stable development, it could definitely be the happiest country on Earth.
I live in Finland and i agree. Living in the Nordics is good but we dont have a vibrant culture like Mexico and Mexico would be an amazing country to live in if they developed correctly
Absolutely amazing video. Thank you for making such a fun and educational video on this topic. I think every mexican should think about this things every day. Sometimes we only focus on what we are and what we are not... It'd be so much better to focus on what we could be.

I remember working at a couple of maquilas, the ones around where Korean owned, it was the most dehumanizing, cruel and corrupt experience I've ever seen, and I've worked for one of Slim's companies before, hopefully as the economy grows there will be pressure for those companies to either change their ways or get sued into oblivion, enough for the government to actually do something about it. I have 50 hours of extra unpaid labor with them, and ofc because of legal shenanigans i cannot say which ones are they
One of the perks of being an employee of a company in Mexico is that we are one of the few countries that have mandatory paid vacations, we have free government mandatory health insurance (might not be the best of all but it’s most of the time free) and not only that, big companies normally hire a second private health policy for their employees, on top of that, by law there are quite some financial bonuses you are entitled to get depending on what kind of job you have
Healthcare is cheap already in México because the government makes future doctors work in public clinics for the first couple of years. The doctors are so young in there early 20"s because unlike America these kids start training like in middle school if that the path they choose. You can live like a king in Latin America if you have a remote job. Why do you think Europe's outnumber mexicans in a lot of mexico city's neighborhoods
For once, having a stable Mexico is a breathe of fresh air for the world. Especially the USA. As for the USA themselves, having stable neighbors north and south plus their geography = OP mode
I remember when my grandma told me that in Mexico in the 90s she didn’t have ac so her and my tias and tios used to sleep outside with the gate opened, but ever since me and my brothers were born, we could never step outside due to the violence and kidnappings, it’s sad to see what Mexico has become 😢
Same, my parents would tell me they would go out as kids and play in the streets or go leave the city and climb a nearby hill, go fishing, etc and just come back in the night and nothing ever happened. Nowadays you hear all the time how kids and teens disappear or are kidnapped and trafficked
Mexican here living in México, your Spanish misspells are hilarious XD and LOVED the Axolotl everywhere :3 Nearshore services are a thing here, I've been working for US companies (Home office) since 2010 and up to now, this is specially so for Computer Sciences. I have a college degree in informatics and a Master Degree in Data Science and big data, thing is, people like us are a VERY small % of the total population, though there are still many looking for better opportunities, unfortunately, if you didn't learn English at a young age or while in college you become ineligible to have a job like mine (even if you have the degrees) as most people do not speak English.
I agree. English is a deal braker for many young engineering prospects in Mexico. Unironically, most high status people in Mexico speak English quite profficiently
I am from Mexico. I was raised in Mexico. I have lived my whole life in Mexico, and yet this guy just taught me more history than all my school years 😂
not sure if you had mentioned it but they also nationalized their lithium mines, thus allowing mexico themselves to mine and export it bringing in money
I got an anecdote as a Veracruz native. I remember once going to the “Malecón” that was close by the port. There were many guys trying to sell goods that just came in from the containers (apparently it’s common for some amount of cargo to be stolen). It was a Lacoste perfume, completely new and pretty much just out of the container, I bought a bottle. I guess that could be another issue we face, not even the ports & cargo are safe
Just one thing, you do get paid a generous amount in México when fired from a job. The thing is, that sometimes companies somehow force you to resign (yourself) in order to not give the money up. Don't know exactly how, but that's what I know, there's even the phrase "He got resigned" (Lo renunciaron)
To be honest every American would prefer trading with Mexico over China. Not only are they one of our two neighbors, we have far better relationship than with China.
I live on right on the border and am a huge advocate to developing Mexico further. We as North Americans need to stand together against the world. With Mexico growing so will we.
This is what I say all the time to anyone who will listen. Americans are often so prejudiced against Mexico that they can't see that Mexico being relatively poor and very violent and corrupt isn't only terrible for Mexicans, but also for the US. All of those problems are what leads to so many Mexicans packing up and heading north. Moving forward, if all of North America can unite and Mexico more or less catches up with the US and Canada, who would be able to stop us? China is a formidable adversary, but all of us together is much better than just the US or the US + Canada. In these troubled times, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have a region to retreat to where no one else can bother us.
The ending really leaves you with a sense of hope for Mexico. I would love nothing more than to see my family down there have better opportunities in the years to come ❤️🔥
I hope mexico will realize the party wont last forever, once the costs in mexico go up, the USA will just up and move again. They should use that cash and revenue to invest in their own countries, instead of squandering and wasting it.
Absolutely true, we have a fear of growth, not only you have to pay up to 35% you have to deal with more regulations. Corruption runs so deep is part of the career plan for government workers.
i have lived in Mexico for 6 years now after leaving the US and wow its been the best time of my life, the propaganda from the west about this country is insane and simply ignorant, i see no violence, i live downtown and the people are absolutely amazing. i saw the difference AMLO has made and wow mexico truly is changing front of my eyes, i love it here i could never go back to the US. here every single weekend without fail people go out and have fun, friends get together so often, its just amazing here. try it for yourself and youll see.
México is the US most important commercial partner in the world. No other country buys more goods and services from the US. +15 million people in the US work exclusively in designing and manufacturing stuff for México. And the same goes for México. It si the most intense bilateral relation in the world. +750 billion dollars per year. Both countries depend on each other. A prosperous México will only increase the demand for US products and services. It's a win - win relation.
5:19 It is false that Mexico has no unemployment benefits. When a Mexican is fired the company should give 3 months of salary + 1 month per each year of service. It should also be given their equivalent to its christmas bonus (by law) and savings fund (optional, but if offered it should be given to the employee), and non-taken vacations.Also, as an ex-employee you have the right to get the annual PTU: a fair distribution of 10% of the annual net income of the company distributed by all employees.

I don't know if this is correct, but after a quick Google search, I found that in the U.S. the top 10% of earners control 76% of the total wealth... and I thought Mexico had a rough wealth distribution...
Your video is stupid, you lacked analysis skills and timing. China's fast rising was when the world economy was booming from the 70's to 2020.
Right now, the world is in a recession and production is slowing down, Mexico will never see the same success as China.

As a mexican, i don’t think mexicans prefer informal economy due to its low healthcare and education benefits, instead we all (no matter our economic ability) prefer to avoid paying taxes because politicians, especially presidents, take too much money for their own benefit and end up getting it out of the country. Take for example the last two presidents who now live in spain with OUR MONEY.
Yeahhh, this guy is definitely a sales rep. Speaks of all of the benefits and just few downsides with no actual input from the people he’s talking about.
Which is funny because each politician work for different cartel money, but it's never enough; is it?

I’ve always been an advocate of unreserved support for Mexican development. Imagine if Mexico was as successful as Canada or even the US. North America would truly be an unstoppable economic force
It already is. Adding Mexico to it would make it even more absurdly overpowered compared to the rest of the world.
lol you want wet ears to be on the same lvl as us all they have is sand drug lords and crack heads

I'm a dual citizen. I was born in the US and gained birthright citizenship through my father. When I turned 30 I opened up a few gyms in Mexico. What hoser talks about, red tape, is spot on. Everyone's gotta eat, so everyone has to get their palms greased. If you file to get permits the "conventional" way, you'll eventually die of old age. You have to grease the right palms who then tell you what the "expidited" cost will be so he can then grease the palms of those above him. I never had to pay a "cartel" tax but that mostly happens with smaller street gangs or young cartels. The cartel that runs my region is much more established and larger. They don't deal with picking up pennies when they're making millions every passing hour. With that said, one of their people has come to one of my gyms and asked to see my books. Make of that what you will.
I'm also thinking about getting a Mexican passport and opening a bussiness in Mexico or buying property do you have any advice. How did you do it ?
@@justice.01997 first and foremost, get the citizenship. If you have a parent who was born in Mexico, it's so much easier. If you don't, you'll need to go through the residency status option. Consult an immigration lawyer for that. As for opening a business, as mentioned in the video, it's hard. Too much red tape. You'll need to become friends with someone who already has a business and is willing to help you through the process of getting permits (yes, believe it or not, you need permits in Mexico) you could also find a lawyer who already knows which hands need to get greased to get you where you need to go. For instance I wanted one of my gyms to be 24 hours but there's a noise ordinance which basically doubles as a curfew law in that area. If you get caught breaking the rules of the permits you are granted, they can take away your permits. It's easier to be a landlord in Mexico though, unless you're building some massive highrise, you can buy land or buy homes no problem. Remember, Mexico is vast, the difficulty changes from city to city, state to state. Even the hot dog vendors have permits that are more than likely passed down from grandfather to father to son. As a protip, live in the area you want to do business in and learn about the city. The best way to learn about the city is go on Facebook groups, Mexicans love gossip so you'll hear all the rumblings and ins and outs of where you plan on settling

In spite of its PREVIOUS governments.
The current one has moved the country forward in strides thanks to its strengthening of the domestic market, avoiding foreign debt, investing heavily in public works and oil refining, reducing public spending at the highest levels of government, thwarting tax evasion by the biggest corporations and securing national resources like lithium and oil.
@@magtovi Good. I hope they strengthen their educative system as well to form citizens capable of understanding where they are. Part of the reason corruption is so prevalent is because the masses are uneducated, and just follow leads without thinking twice what they are truly doing

How the fuck does that make sense? Mexico is controlled by cartels, and they make money on deadly narcotocs that kill americans while using that money to further militarized the cartels. That is mexicos primary export, drugs and poor immigrants. That helps Mexicans while killing Americans, HOW THE FU#@ IS THAT GOOD FOR AMERICA?
The thing is... That the US does not want us to grow, why do you think that they keep threatening anyone who dares to innovate here?

Fun Fact: since Northern Mexico is where the bulk of Mexican manufacturing takes place, not only are they are exponentially more dependent on the United States than the rest of Mexico, but the average Northern Mexican is far better off than the average Southern Mexican despite the fact that the cartel is more prevalent in the northern parts of the country.
mexico city has never had much control over the north, it's why large parts of the old north got chunked off and eaten by the USA.

I’m a well educated Mexican, living in Mexico City, and I have to say that this video was spot on, you touched topics such as the 60% rate of informal work which makes it harder to invest in infrastructure.
It might have been good to talk about how the drug cartels sell the products not for Mexicans but for Americans mostly being the US the main customer of the drug cartels, which can be fought with regulations in the US instead of a drug war in Mexico, killing thousands of people throughout the way. It’s all about a companionship between Mexico and the US. Nice vid !
Regulations fix drug abuse? I would definitely like to hear what regulations you are proposing… Decriminalizing and taxing could impact it but it’s not creating more regulations…
@@mdtaylor67 Maybe the USA have to regulate their guns? The cartels can only have the power they got by having the guns they have (guns that come from the USA)
Actually regulations is a good idea, it happened to alcohol in its time and now it’s happening to marijuana, at the end, a consumer will always find a way to consume, so why not tax it 🤷🏻♂️

Man I'm Mexican and the concept of fear of growth makes sooo much sense. The idea of setting your own business, feels like a terrible idea. There are so many anecdotes of entrepreneurs getting killed for refusing or being unable to pay cartels. A lot of people don't even bother trying to make their own business to avoid having to ever deal with that.

As it should be, not even with the cartels or the government but growth that comes too fast had ruined dozens of countries over the last 100 years. And its VERY hard to get people to understand that no you can't have economic growth and mobility along with stability and happiness because if you did it could tip the balance. That's a hard pill to swallow and an understandably bitter one.
@@victorkreig6089 are you saying that the cartels are right

As a Mexican I can only say I do hope we can revolutionize a way to still preserve this "informal" businesses that are carefully mentioned throughout the video, I think most mexicans can agree that such businesses while not being specially productive to the economy are part of our beloved culture and culinary traditions that have made us shine in the global stage. I simply cannot fathom a world where I can no longer visit some of my favorite local food stalls that are sometimes attended by such different peoples and traditions of my diverse country. Loved the video btw.
De hecho
i guess in a way we do, since informal business still pays IVA for prime materials and sometimes ISAI .
The problem is you then
I don't see that would be an issue tbh. Economy transition happened in China didn't remove traditional food stalls in the city and lower their culture significance. Local food and night market still thrived in the ever growing lobar-populated city center.
Government just have to come up with a way to find alternative tax income instead of taxing the lower class business.
I wouldn't worry. Mexican food is actually officially considered a cultural heritage of humanity by UNESCO
Mexico is a beacon for other developing nations to follow, especially us in Nigeria, and the rest of Africa. One thing I absolutely admire about them is that they used their proximity to the USA as a way to get more developed. Through their legal migratory workers (and even some illegal ones) and through sponsored training programs and improved education, their citizenry got more educated, more financially strong and used their new knowledge and wealth to reinvest and develop their country. Now Mexico is industrializing on a rapid scale and since their labor cost less than China and they're closer to the USA, more factories and industries are relocating to Mexico. Absolutely genius and we'll earned success.
Coupled with a more positive relationship with their neighbor and the lack of need to heavily invest in the military since anyone stupid enough to invade Mexico will infuriate not just the US government but the people as well.

I was born and raised in the US. In 2019, I met my future wife as a coworker, who was born and raised in the State of Mexico. Over the last 4 years, I've learned to speak Spanish, and learned an enormous amount of the Mexican culture and country's history. I'm actually writing this while on another trip to her hometown.
The Mexico we know as Americans and the real Mexico are two hugely different things. We're told it's just a desert with some beaches. The reality of Mexican geography is staggering. Mexico has deserts, mountains, beaches, valleys, jungles, pretty much everything but frozen tundra. Socially, the Mexican culture is increidbly vibrant. More often than not, people will go out of their way to help. And they love their country. Yes, it has issues, but beyond those issues is an amazing place with incredible potential. Perosnally, I hope to see a day where Mexico and the US dont feel so far apart, becuase there's so much to appreciate here, everytime I visit. And honestly, there's a lot the US can learn from it.

So as a relatively young mexican , I'm aware I might be ignorant about many things, but one thing that makes me absolutely wary of foreign companies doing manufacturing in our country is that Mexico is a wonderfully rich country in flora and fauna, megadiverse in ecosystems with many endemic species and natural wonders, AND we also have a government that doesn't seem to give two shits about that when it actually counts, let alone said foreign companies that certainly won't care if they destroy the natural resources on their way to making an even slightly better profit (as they're already prone to do) and when the local ppl are often as described in a hard position and can't rly afford to care either as they try for a better life, AND considering both ecologists and activist being murdered is a common occurrence... well, it paints an awfully bleak picture
You are 100% right to get concerned about countries setting up shop in Mexico.
I am concerned about one in particular , known for slavery of 12-yr-olds forced to live in tiny dorms, working long hours with little pay, building the tech products for the "A" company, and jumping to their deaths!
Add their lousy quality control, lack of any safety measures, the flotillas, sucking up the sealife out of every ocean, taking over Pacific Islands, Tibet, and, now attacking the India-Nepal border, known for enslavement and forced labor of thousands, and a general disregard for human rights!
Recently, an illegal Chinese bio lab was found to be operating hidden right here in California. How many of these things exist?
And why are they insisting that they be in he heart of Mexicos' newfound status for manufacturing? 🎉👀

as an american, I'm tired of the media always talking about drug wars, migrants and corruption. Mexico has major issues with those things sure, but I also want to learn nice things about our southern neighbors. I always wanted to visit Mexico city.
Mexico has always been an honest, fantastic work force.
Great video as usual but one clarification... the informal economy also pay taxes, just not pay to the government.
I´m from a small town between Morelos and Mexico City, and here every business pay to the local narco, no matter the size of the business everyone has to pay.
In Mexico city the street vendors, still have to pay if not directly to the government, they have to pay to their "leaders" that allow them to work on the streets.
What’s the general feeling you have for the narcos doing that? I’ve heard mixed opinions (coming from a US citizen), and does it depend on the cartel in charge?
Is it a flat rate? or is the price you pay on tiers based on the revenue/profit of the business? and what happens when payment isn't made (deliberately or otherwise)?
@@colehowe in the case of my town is the cartel is CJNG (cartel Jalisco nueva generación), in the capital the street vendors have to pay to Union de Tepito... Since the cartels "work" openly and I have seen the same guys that collect the money talking with the local police.... There is nothing to do.... Resignation is the general attitude from the population... In other cases is open admiration for the cartels... Best parties, cars beautiful women, etc.

I swear to God in the late/early 2000s there was a lot of backlash to "bring jobs back to the US" like manufacturing and clothes making since Mexico did most of that. It was around the time the first US Mexico Border fence went up around 2007. It was actually a school assignment for us to find things in our houses that were "Made in Mexico" and write em down to see how much was actually made in Mexico. After that fence went up it seemed you started to see less and less "Made in Mexico" and more and more "Made in China"

I wanna do the right thing eventually when I can afford it because I wanna contribute to the betterment of our society but sometimes it feels like most taxes are just money politicians steal and the richer you are the more you can avoid them legally and the less you even rely on them.
There’s exceptions, Mexico City is an amazing city with amazing subsidies and public infrastructure that most people rely on, even upper middle class people, on a day to day basis

I remember when I moved to San Diego and went to Tijuana for the first time in 23 years. I was amazed by how much things have improved there. It's not perfect but compared to how it was 23 years ago when you had tons of dogs wandering around looking super skinny and tons of people lined up at the border begging for a few cents. Things have definitely gotten way better. Even crime has gone down significantly, at least now you can walk around most of the city without getting kidnapped, still some parts that even the locals try to avoid but every city has places like that now. They have the tourist area where mostly everything is over priced and then you have parts that are safe to go to that you can pay the normal price which super cheap in comparison. Still probably won't go to Mexicali and sure as hell will not go to Tecate but Tijuana has definitely improved greatly in the past two decades. If only they would fix their sewage problems so the beaches in Southern San Diego wouldn't have to be closed for weeks or months because of contaminated water.
So you wouldn't go to Mexicali and Tecate (way safer cities than Tijuana) but you'd go to Tj (the most dangerous city in the State)? How's that supposed to work?
@@davidcervantes9336 Tecate is run by two rival cartels and they have an on going war for control of the city and Mexicali is too hot temperature wise. TJ isn't as bad as you think.

@@NinjaKitty91_ I'm from Baja, mate. Ensenada, specifically, but I've lived in every major city in the State: 6 years in Tj, 4 years Mexicali, a few months in Tecate and Rosarito. Yes, the place is safe, but among them, Tj is the most dangerous. Why? simply because of its size. Common crime (what actually affects regular civilians) is more of a problem there than it is in the rest of the cities, add to this the fact that the drug cartels' operations are more active. I've never suffered common crime in my 30 years of existence in any city in the State but one, Tj. And to be fair, it was only once, but it was THERE and nowhere else.

YOU CAN DO IT MEXICO!!!!
As a Mexican I kinda agree with your points of how to make progress and economical growth...but I really have to ask: growth and progress...for who exactly?
You condensed perfectly the systematic problems with Mexico right at the beginning of the video. Cartel violence, inequality and government corruption are problems that have permeated and taken its toll on the mentality of the average Mexican. The government is the only one that can end the cartel problem but they will definitely NOT do it because it's not in their best interest. And all that hypothetical growth will only benefit those in power while the average person would still be treated poorly by the government, cartels and employeer. Why do you think many poor people want to leave this place? Or young, prepared and well educated people still want to leave this place?
@@Wizthefurbo "The violence is bad but it can be overcome" Understatement of the fucking year, everybody! Do you have any idea how bad the cartel problem is? This is no mere gang wars killing each other in a small zone of a state. This is something that has been so ingrained into the Mexican culture and mentality that is probably not going anywhere anytime soon, at least not by our government sice those are the ones that benefit the most dealing with them economically... either the good way or the bad way.
Also, of course gringos would be safe in Mexico. Cartels don't really target gringos unless they get too much into their affairs. If they stay away then they would not dare to kill Americans, unless they wish to be manhunt by the American government directly or by pressuring the Mexican government to do it or else.

As an economist and political scientist, this is a very good summary about what is happening in my country! Thx and we hope to make it better in this century!
chinese here who is a huge fan of the mexican culture and people (speaks spanish, plays corrido and make my own salsa)
I'm super glad mexico can find an opportunity to improve their living conditions
I think part of why china was able to develop fast is that the chinese people made a costly trade.
the chinese people traded a their own (political) freedom for an orderly, collective society.
in exchange, they gained other kinds of freedom, such as economical freedom, being able to live a more comfortable life and without poverty
it's a costly trade because the people _should_ have a say on how they're being governed, i.e. a democracy
but the chinese, knowingly, chose to sacrifice their political freedom for stability, submitting to one central government and trust that it can take care of them
historically, this strategy has worked well, leading to long stable dynasties
historically, this strategy also catastrophically backfired, leading to millions of deaths as noone can challenge the government
the joke is that the chinese have conducted elections, except at 300 year intervals in bloody overthrown of the previous dynasty, with relatively stable and prosperous society in between.
whether the mexican people can make the same kind of trade is uncertain, and I wish them the best lucks
Yes, we can and ARE WILLING to make any kind of sacrifices. We have always been a nation that's renowned for being willing to sacrifice some goods for others. But we're not Chinese. The things we have to give in in order to become a developed country are not the same as the ones you gave in. We have managed to remain a free and open society despite the many internal and external pressures, and we will certainly carry on down that path.
Both geography and social structure builds a nation's character - pretty much the same as how both builds individual character. I got nothing to say about geopolitics - being rural Indonesian would make my opinion on that ambivalent. Just get off from that bloody sea.
What i meant is that if something would helps people more then it's good. Dire situation both happened in Mexico and rural China, but in Mexico it spread more to national level compared the Chinese. With current favorable geopolitics and deglobalization, the Mexicans would fare off better after all those dire situation, which was good. Situation in rural China pretty much resolvable locally, with strong ruler and very much matching legal ideology it isn't distant possibility.
About degree of political freedom - for a nation has such complex history of dynasties, I believe China hasn't exactly prepared to that yet. And for what its worth, current Chinese society has far off better than they were centuries ago. Just hope for someone who's a mix between Zhou and Bo would make into power, maybe they'll work and get rid of the princelings.
Being a Mexican, born and raised, most people would be willing to make that trade, and historically, everytime we have a strong central authority the country truly moves forward, btw theres a decent sized chinese population, hard working people

We've seen countries in Scandinavia for example do really well with development in a way that serves the people, resulting in safety, equality and overall high standards of living. However, I think the isolationist cultures that exist there have limited the people's happiness somewhat. If a country with a vibrant and community-based culture like Mexico were to see similar, stable development, it could definitely be the happiest country on Earth.
I live in Finland and i agree. Living in the Nordics is good but we dont have a vibrant culture like Mexico and Mexico would be an amazing country to live in if they developed correctly
@@Azact the problem is the government and drug lords bleeding us dry 😢
I have news for you. It already is. I’d hate for it to become a chaotic mess because there is many places that are very tranquil 👍
Mexico is booming! Finally!
Absolutely amazing video. Thank you for making such a fun and educational video on this topic.
I think every mexican should think about this things every day. Sometimes we only focus on what we are and what we are not... It'd be so much better to focus on what we could be.
Fzst hablando de politica???

Ya en serio, es verdad. A todos los hispanoamericanos en general nos falta confianza en nosotros mismos y ambición. Tenemos un sentido de subordinación enorme a pesar del tremendo potencial de nuestros países.

I remember working at a couple of maquilas, the ones around where Korean owned, it was the most dehumanizing, cruel and corrupt experience I've ever seen, and I've worked for one of Slim's companies before, hopefully as the economy grows there will be pressure for those companies to either change their ways or get sued into oblivion, enough for the government to actually do something about it.
I have 50 hours of extra unpaid labor with them, and ofc because of legal shenanigans i cannot say which ones are they
One of the perks of being an employee of a company in Mexico is that we are one of the few countries that have mandatory paid vacations, we have free government mandatory health insurance (might not be the best of all but it’s most of the time free) and not only that, big companies normally hire a second private health policy for their employees, on top of that, by law there are quite some financial bonuses you are entitled to get depending on what kind of job you have
Healthcare is cheap already in México because the government makes future doctors work in public clinics for the first couple of years. The doctors are so young in there early 20"s because unlike America these kids start training like in middle school if that the path they choose. You can live like a king in Latin America if you have a remote job. Why do you think Europe's outnumber mexicans in a lot of mexico city's neighborhoods
Nice analogy with axolotl as axolotl stays forever young
For once, having a stable Mexico is a breathe of fresh air for the world. Especially the USA.
As for the USA themselves, having stable neighbors north and south plus their geography = OP mode
USA never had any competition, always played on easy.
They made sure of that from the start.
I remember when my grandma told me that in Mexico in the 90s she didn’t have ac so her and my tias and tios used to sleep outside with the gate opened, but ever since me and my brothers were born, we could never step outside due to the violence and kidnappings, it’s sad to see what Mexico has become 😢
Same, my parents would tell me they would go out as kids and play in the streets or go leave the city and climb a nearby hill, go fishing, etc and just come back in the night and nothing ever happened. Nowadays you hear all the time how kids and teens disappear or are kidnapped and trafficked
You know what could stop kidnapping a glock 19 which the mexican government has heavily regulated
Love Mexico from Turkiye❤
Love you guys from the US 🇺🇸🇹🇷🇲🇽❤️ hope the inflation gets a bit better over there
It’s turkey in English
@@bogjesrbin484 They changed the official name.
@@boy7boy777 I know,, and its funny. They dont want to be confused with turkey as animal. what a pathetic nation
@@boy7boy777 that's not how language works. Almost no English speakers call it Türkiye.
Mexican here living in México, your Spanish misspells are hilarious XD and LOVED the Axolotl everywhere :3
Nearshore services are a thing here, I've been working for US companies (Home office) since 2010 and up to now, this is specially so for Computer Sciences.
I have a college degree in informatics and a Master Degree in Data Science and big data, thing is, people like us are a VERY small % of the total population, though there are still many looking for better opportunities, unfortunately, if you didn't learn English at a young age or while in college you become ineligible to have a job like mine (even if you have the degrees) as most people do not speak English.
I agree. English is a deal braker for many young engineering prospects in Mexico.
Unironically, most high status people in Mexico speak English quite profficiently
I am from Mexico. I was raised in Mexico. I have lived my whole life in Mexico, and yet this guy just taught me more history than all my school years 😂
Nah, en la escuela prefieren enseñarte sobre Benito Juárez, pero omitiendo el hecho que se reeligió a pesar de condenar la reelección
The Mexican Axolotl looks so wholesome!
As an American, I think it would be better to get products from Mexico, because they are not in many conflicts with us, it would be a good thing 👍
I learned more about my country in this video than in my history class during a year. 💀 Thank you btw!
not sure if you had mentioned it but they also nationalized their lithium mines, thus allowing mexico themselves to mine and export it bringing in money
The Hecho en Mexico stamp is pretty cool. Hope for the best for them.
I got an anecdote as a Veracruz native.
I remember once going to the “Malecón” that was close by the port.
There were many guys trying to sell goods that just came in from the containers (apparently it’s common for some amount of cargo to be stolen).
It was a Lacoste perfume, completely new and pretty much just out of the container, I bought a bottle.
I guess that could be another issue we face, not even the ports & cargo are safe

The amount of detailed information in this video is mindblowing.
Just one thing, you do get paid a generous amount in México when fired from a job. The thing is, that sometimes companies somehow force you to resign (yourself) in order to not give the money up. Don't know exactly how, but that's what I know, there's even the phrase "He got resigned" (Lo renunciaron)
Love Mexico from USA 🇺🇸❤️🇲🇽 yes am part Mexican
To be honest every American would prefer trading with Mexico over China.
Not only are they one of our two neighbors, we have far better relationship than with China.
I am mexican and i love how Mexico its an axolotl ✨
dude your vids are always informative and highly entertaining at the same time. big fan for a while, love the work man
this dude is controlled by the cabal he wants the new world you fool
I live on right on the border and am a huge advocate to developing Mexico further. We as North Americans need to stand together against the world. With Mexico growing so will we.
This is what I say all the time to anyone who will listen. Americans are often so prejudiced against Mexico that they can't see that Mexico being relatively poor and very violent and corrupt isn't only terrible for Mexicans, but also for the US. All of those problems are what leads to so many Mexicans packing up and heading north. Moving forward, if all of North America can unite and Mexico more or less catches up with the US and Canada, who would be able to stop us? China is a formidable adversary, but all of us together is much better than just the US or the US + Canada. In these troubled times, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have a region to retreat to where no one else can bother us.
Lol that’s not happening, a unified North American continent is never happening

The ending really leaves you with a sense of hope for Mexico. I would love nothing more than to see my family down there have better opportunities in the years to come ❤️🔥
I hope mexico will realize the party wont last forever, once the costs in mexico go up, the USA will just up and move again. They should use that cash and revenue to invest in their own countries, instead of squandering and wasting it.
Mexican people know that, it's the politicians that don't realize that, as always they will steal public money unfortunately
Absolutely true, we have a fear of growth, not only you have to pay up to 35% you have to deal with more regulations. Corruption runs so deep is part of the career plan for government workers.
i have lived in Mexico for 6 years now after leaving the US and wow its been the best time of my life, the propaganda from the west about this country is insane and simply ignorant, i see no violence, i live downtown and the people are absolutely amazing. i saw the difference AMLO has made and wow mexico truly is changing front of my eyes, i love it here i could never go back to the US. here every single weekend without fail people go out and have fun, friends get together so often, its just amazing here. try it for yourself and youll see.
Just another ignorant gringo living in a safe neighborhood
Lots of love to Mexico from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 🇺🇸 ❤️ 🇲🇽
Love Puerto Rico from Mexico 🇲🇽♥️🇵🇷
México is the US most important commercial partner in the world. No other country buys more goods and services from the US. +15 million people in the US work exclusively in designing and manufacturing stuff for México. And the same goes for México. It si the most intense bilateral relation in the world. +750 billion dollars per year. Both countries depend on each other. A prosperous México will only increase the demand for US products and services. It's a win - win relation.

It is false that Mexico has no unemployment benefits. When a Mexican is fired the company should give 3 months of salary + 1 month per each year of service. It should also be given their equivalent to its christmas bonus (by law) and savings fund (optional, but if offered it should be given to the employee), and non-taken vacations.Also, as an ex-employee you have the right to get the annual PTU: a fair distribution of 10% of the annual net income of the company distributed by all employees.
BTW just wanted to clarify the Sinaloa Cartel no longer resides in Coahuila nor does the gulf cartel, they were raided a while back and haven’t come back to Coahuila since, they instead doubled down in zacatecas and chihuahua
I'm mexican and i'mcurrently working for an american company living in mexico, So yes, the investment that the United States has made in Mexico has helped me a lot.
