I almost came home with a couple of baby chickens

Light snack for the boys?

They wouldn't bother not meat on them

 

[Goofyernmost]

No . We just have better butchers over here.

Maybe so, but you haven't really lived until you walk into a pork store and be greeted by a full pig face in the display case. Yum!

 

[Goofyernmost]

Y'all get insane deals

Lately, insane sums up pretty much the entire place.

 

[Tony the Tigger]

You’re welcome!

 

[Cesar R M]

Whoa, you are getting robbed.

We do. Its well known that banks have leeched from Mexico's economy for decades.
It was not secret when a Santander bank officer said that Mexico's outrageous tax rates (58% average credit card rate) saved them from bankrupcy during the Spanish recession.

I think GM financial is run by Santander. Our interest rate for our Suburban was 3%. The banks in Mexico seem like Mafia. In the US we have usury laws which prevent ridiculous interest rates. Makes them illegal.

The irony is, the moment a similar law was passed. They added other kinds of interests to try to circumvent the law.
Also the banks have a lot of power. The USA government has made demands a few times in the past about not touching their "interests".

c'est la vie, sadly this is a theme for the basement.

It only seems fair. You guys do still have an outstanding bill for a wall.

He's ridiculous.

 

[Figgy1]

He's ridiculous. and SHOULD BE CAGED AT ALL TIMES

FTFY

I know.. did you know that the minimum interest rate is 11.5% per YEAR?
I really envy those 1%'s in the USA.
Hell, my aunt got plenty of 0%'s offers back in texas.

Yeah...,0.9%. Crazy low.

11%? That's nuts.

 

[Lilofan]

Hondas are sadly the most expensive cars over here.
Both in new cars AND maintenance.
I think the cheapest Honda is still 10k above the Sentra by Nissan and 8K more expensive than the equivalent Suzuki and Ford.

I would think VW is an inexpensive car in Mexico since VW models made in MEX are sold here in the USA and other parts of the world. My brother on a business trip flew from Tucson to Central Mexico on a private jet then he and other business execs were escorted by private armed security from the airport to the plant to meet with Mexican execs. He thought the plant was closed since there only a few cars in the parking lot. He was shocked to see thousands of Mexican workers working inside and he was advised they do not drive to work but rather bussed into work from their home towns.

It's been that way before. Back when I purchased my business in 1983 my mortgage rate was 14% and over 14 years I could not get them to lower the rate even though the cost was killing the business and other loan rates had dropped drastically. It really was the difference between staying in business and closing down. So I closed down and turn the property back the the bank. They didn't care because they got their money back just in the interest I had payed over the years.
