I know this belongs in La Cocina but..

The answer to the OP's question is no, probably not by any government as high inflation creates unrest and political change. I would expect inflation in the US to resonate at least somewhat in Mexico. We are NOB at the moment and the inflation is quite noticeable here. Also more than a few bare spots on store shelves. Amazing how we can't seem to discuss anything here without it degenerating into personal sniping. 😒

“Hurricane Nicholas just hit the gulf coast” There, i just took another jab at the US. I hope I didn’t hurt your feelings.

Got them[chofer,motocyclete] here in Chapala yesterday. Luis from Spencer's office did everything for me. Picked me up,drove me back and even brought a folding chair for me. His charge: $400p each for the service. Worth every centavo! pedro kertesz

Wow, that will cost Pedro more than a week's worth of cigars or a bottle of his beloved Mescal. The least I can do is match his donation. PM me with your location or can I drop off a donation at the shop? I remember, when I first visited the LCS campus 10 years ago, seeing the HHWT volunteers and students working away. I was impressed. One of the reasons I joined the LCS. SunFan

Laughable that anyone would find Lancet to be junk medical science but then post dozens of links from bitchute.com.

Drive 'em until they drop.

But we are not talking about the USA....are we? Everyone who has shopping for food stuff has experienced first hand the increases , it's a no brainer regardless what the government figures are, I forgot to mention Gasliqudio that seems to go up every month

Why would you need any government to tell you about an inflation rate??? Cannot you tell just by comparing what is going out of your pocket today compared as to what was going out say a year ago for the same things??? I don't trust ANY government: Mexican, U.S. or any other!!!

Wayne. I will donate $1000mp. when can you pick up?

I am starting to wonder if the inflation numbers reported by the Mexican Central Bank are really a true representation. As one example, today I had to go to a hardware store with one of my workers and just happened to look at the price of stationary gas tanks. The 180 liter was listed at 8,770.00 Pesos. 2 years ago I bought the same tank for 4,500.00 Pesos (yes, almost double). These tanks are manufactured in Guadalajara so go figure. On a minor note, the Costco Hot Dog price increased a little over 30 percent. Have wages gone up to reflect this ? I doubt it. 😒

That is a great way to approach that, since my experience with the staff there last February was horrible. They made me go back home twice, since my phone bill said I had 4 pages to it, when only 3 existed, did not even have a blank page to count as page 4. I am sure use of Luis can avoid some staff attitudes like that.

ACD seems to dwell in the twilight zone of conspiracy theories.

Not EXPERIMENTAL Almost 400 millions shots delivered in the USA alone. Get a life, don't take someone else's Your healthcare is free, don't waste funds. Our ICUs are overloaded with the unvaccinated., who think like you Nice touch at the end..... crying OMG pathetic

1. The repaving of the Ajijic carretera is a federal project...no local input 2. This morning Hector, Bob Howe and I celebrated the completion of the malecon bridges maintenance. The Garden Guild was invited, but, cited Covid concerns. Fotos to follow. 3 The original wood was supplied by the Lakeside Garden Guild. Other materials were supplied by Inside Lakeside Hosted by Bob Howe, and Chapala Sunrise Rotary. The labor was supplied by the municipality. This to the best of my recollection and the sign.

Says the guy who constantly posts negative articles about Mexico.

Whatever it is,I can afford it without grousing about it. My only concern is for my Mexican friends who may suffer.

It’s been well known for many years that the US govt hasn’t been truthful about it’s inflation rate. We shouldn’t expect the Mexican govt to be any different. Those of us on fixed incomes are the most affected.

First, you should know that Costco subsidizes its snack bar and its roasted chickens, and they take a loss on most of it, but it sure keeps the customers coming, so I don't think that's an indicator, lol. Don't know nuthin' 'bout 'nflation, but I do know the pandemic has caused the most unbelievable things to skyrocket in price, what with all the stalled container ships, export fees, government-imposed tariffs, loss of workers, etc. And yeah, that's a bit scary for a tank.

Tecnically Mexicans are caucasians if they have no indigeneous blood so good luck on the Spanish whiteness.. if they have indigenus blood then they are from mixed race ,hence la Raza. If indigenous came from Asia then they are Asian and white. As far as the white Spaniards they are mixed with Berberes and Arabs who are white but also mixed with blacks so good luck on the idea of a pure race..

Gotta get that jab at the Us , don't you? What an a&&.

This should be in the Charitable section, not here.

Juts to be clear for all.... you must accept the first thing offered... which is the cost they are charging for your use of that ATM. It's the second one you must reject... where they actually you figures re: what their conversion rate will be. Usually "decline" button is on the bottom left
