This is how serious countrys operate.

They needed the wall built first to cut themselves off from the riffraff

I thought I read theyre cutting work hours from 48 to 40. Not good enough imo. Thats what were at and still burned out.

Be honest, that's not where millions of Americans are. 3 jobs, no overtime, ludicrous living costs is where many Americans are.

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 1 points 17 minutes ago* (last edited 16 minutes ago)

Maximum working hours* which is not the same.

Americans sign up for jobs at 40 and if they're salaried they almost all work at least 45, and are then expected to be contacted out of work.

[–] waratchess@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 hours ago

It's worse than that. They're reducing 2 hours per year until they reach 40, but they're keeping six work days per week.

Don't let perfect be enemy of the good.

[–] mrodri89@lemmy.zip 22 points 4 hours ago

Agreed. Shes done a hell of a lot more for her constituents than our politicians.

Can't wait for American illegal immigrants to get deported from Mexico

[–] Gorilladrums@lemmy.world 25 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

That's already a problem in Mexico. American immigrants have been moving to the nice parts of Mexico, and they have been inflating the ever living fuck out of the prices there. American money is unmatched, and no Mexican business is going to dumb enough to let it slip by. They've been increasing prices and catering to Americans to the point where Mexicans are being squeezed out entirely from the equation.

There are parts of Mexico city where Mexicans are completely priced out. People with houses in the nice parts try to sell them to Americans to get more money. Developers are building condo buildings that cater to American styles, and they're entirely branded and marketed in English. Businesses in the area notice the increase in Americans walking around and jack up their prices to get a share of the pie themselves, which leads Americans to get another part of the city that's still cheap to get the most out of their money repeating the cycle. Americans have already been doing this to countries like Spain, Portugal, and Italy, but now they're doing it to Mexico too.

theoretically, the whole population should be able to profit from the influx of money if it's properly distributed. that seems to me to be more an issue with taxation than with overtourism.

[–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 10 points 6 hours ago

Damn, here I thought I was making a bad joke, but reality seems to be a bad joke these days.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 17 points 8 hours ago

That's the beauty of the Mexican project. They're going to accommodate the refugees in a way Americans refused to do. And they're going to become a better country for it

we need more social populism. this is a good example of it.

Holy shit. Claudia my queen

Hopefully, Mexico will actually achieve the American Dream, rather than being dragged into a nightmare by their capitalists.
