The Mexican government should loosen up the import regulations and brokers should be restricted with further scrutiny. To get an import permit for business here is onerous and expensive. Also any commercial import of an electric or other machine operated device requires the importer to pay an outlandish annual fee for a government certification on each model. The Mexican economy could be booming, benefiting ordinary Mexicans but this is stifled by regulations catering to money barons. A few years ago I imported my mobility scooter from the US. I was charged $500 USD by an American broker plus $500 USD by a Mexican broker and I was charged duty on an item which is supposed to be duty free. I was promised official receipts to try recouping some cash which never came....crooked. When I ran a business in Canada, I received my import permit free in one day. I brought 1/4 full containers of microscopes from China, duty free and the broker charged 100 CAD to clear through customs. I also imported and exported regularly with the US with very few costs. I could choose to act as my own broker. Here, Mexicans are discouraged from starting such businesses. If this politics > delete

In real estate listings, I believe all or at least most listings are set in pesos. This does not change with currency fluctuations. The US prices are there only for the mathematically (peso value) challenged gringos.

The way to handle a lot of recycling of materials is to process it locally. Plastic can be turned into building beams and other useful items. It takes a local business or non-profit to get rolling with the equipment. I do not know the current process for cardboard but it can be composted and used as weed blockers in gardening and worms love it.

More than one way to recycle.

Thanks for the link. I found another similar company also in the US. Symptoms include door lock malfunction, windshield washers, hard starting [monitor screen intermittent?]. A friend (NOB) who repairs these as well as vehicle computers & ABS modules suggested the cleaning would most likely fix the obvious problems.

I've got the fuel pump adaptation already. There is a process to take the TIPM apart to get at the circuit board and clean the pins, then apply dielectric grease to the connections. That is the process I am looking for in a mechanic. If there is not one with experience, I'll do it myself. You are correct. They are expensive to replace.

Bad Experience with Farmarcia Guadalajara
timjwilson replied to egcallis's topic in Ajijic/Chapala/Guadalajara
These cheap oximeters are often faulty (inaccurate) anyway and not worth purchasing. Even in 2 different hospitals where the portable units were used on me, I pointed out the inaccuracy and was proven correct when they were replaced by the one wired to a monitor. -

This is correct (except maybe the triplicate thing). For the OP's information, Opiate narcotics are temporarily unavailable in Mexico. This may be cleared up this month. The senior doctor at Ajijic clinic is authorized to write these prescriptions, despite not being an anesthesiologist. If you cannot acquire opiate narcotics (e.g. morphine, codeine) you may purchase Tramadol wihout prescription which is an opioid - mu receptor binding medication but also blocks the re-uptake of serotonin so if you have a heart problem may not be great. It comes in 100 mg and 25 mg doses. Alternatively you can get Brospina without prescription which is a brand of buprenorphine, a synthetic opioid, however only the injectable form is presently available. -
Bus Tracking App for Chapala Area - Need your inputs!
timjwilson replied to tkessler2's topic in Ajijic/Chapala/Guadalajara
First of all, I did not say 'long lines'. Secondly, yes a tracking app would allow people to arrive at the bus stop shortly prior to the arrival of the bus. Are you also against GPS apps? -
