From our 27 years owning property, and living in Mx 75 % of the time, no new laws, rules, regulations, domestic or international, will be respected to any degree by the people in our area of Mexico. (Our indigenous folks are quite different than populations in the south.) They have no respect...

Not long ago, I made my regular visit to the ATMs at Santander, likely the biggest bank in Mexico, and owned by a conglomerate in Spain. I asked for my usual 8000 pesos. The machine made all the right noises, except the sound of cash coming out. I got nada...zilch. I decided before going...

It appears there will be, very soon, a total ban on Mexico exporting shrimp and other sea food for it's limp efforts to protect the vaquita. Mexico has avoided most sanctions over the years by telling the world what it wants to hear, while at the same time doing nothing. Some will say a ban...
