  1. Sounds like your tin foil hat is on a little too tight.
  2. Banks have been making a big deal of keeping money from going to/from the cartels for years. And the beat goes on.
  3. Hmmmm. I recall a motorcyclist doing the same thing until he was found dead.
  4. 🤣🤣 "Reliable local source". No doubt an insider at big pharma.
  5. It looks the same when they just stop for gas.
  6. Seems like if you have been doing everything you can to avoid COVID, you wouldn't catch the flu.
  7. Yikes. I stand corrected. My Ludditemobile doesn't have such a new-fangled device.
  8. You have batteries on your tires? Fan-cee.
  9. You'll still get a pocketful of 5 peso coins as change.
  10. A history of deadly pandemics throughout history. Make of it what you will. https://digg.com/2020/most-deadly-pandemics-death-toll-coronavirus-visualized?utm_source=digg&utm_medium=email
  11. Driving a car around in the US with Jalisco plates is going to be noticed by the local police. They're smarter than you think and after a while you'll be getting stopped with questions about the plates. At the least.
  12. If your car was built to conform to all (ALL) US standards, that will be a good start. But you better be able to prove it. I brought a car in from Canada and it took two days, much paperwork and phone calls, fees, duties, etc. I can only imagine what it will be like bringing a Mexican car in.
  13. My old modem was showing signs of trouble, so I went on Mercado Libre and ordered a new one. Turns out I ordered a fiber optic modem. It has the jack for the phone line to plug into, and also a skinny one for the fiber optic which I don't have. Seems like it should work with the phone line plugged in, but no. The "internet" light does not light up and the laptop can't find it. Is this thing supposed to work with or without fiber optic or did I just waste 12 bucks. That's American, so it's pretty serious money. BTW, I know it's supposed to be "fibre". I'm not French. Anyhow, anyone has experience with this? Thanks.
  14. I will be flying into MEX via Aeromexico, should be landing at terminal 2. I think. I only have a one hour layover (I hate that) to board my international flight to JFK. Should also be terminal 2. I think. Is there an immigration desk there and where is it? Any help is appreciated.
  15. I thought IMSS got rolled into AMLO's new master health care plan.
  16. This thread would be half as long if the only posts were anwering the OP's question.
  17. "Evangelists in indigenous villages refuse to pay ." Kudos to those people. Maybe if enough people struggle into the 20th (yes, I said 20th) century this "charming custom" will go away. Along with burning witches, magical potions, etc.
  18. I'm not talking about any original intent from 500 years ago. Do people really get up at 3 in the morning to go to church just because there's explosions all night?
  19. Fireworks are those colorful things in the sky. This is just noise.
  20. If the OP came from US or Canada, no. Not even close.
  21. "Why does this job even exist in this day and age. Would it help if this Gringo instructed his contractor to order rocks already broken to size. But would this mean the Peon then has no work?" Where do I start? There is no such thing in Mexico as a giant machine whose only purpose is to break big rocks into small rocks, in order by size and shape. Understanding that, how do you think the rocks will be broken so the contractor can order them by size, etc.? Probably the same guy who is breaking the rocks on the job site will be somewhere else breaking rocks to be shipped.
  22. Assuming that your bank will accept a 18K dollars charge for a used car in Mexico, they probably won't act as a guarantee the way you want. One top of that, the seller would have to pay a 3 per cent or so fee to the credit card company, so, no, it's not going to happen.
