So in NBA terms, Mexico has sold off the player that was taking up too much space in the salary cap (the plane), in exchange for two future prospects (the hospitals) who could help the team in it's rebuild era? Yep definitley sounds like a good trade!
When I saw the title, I thought this was a dispatch from the Office of The President of Mexico Listo, the venerated Señor Mike Leavy. Which it is, I suppose as well as news from the office of AMLO. Good job on the doble sentido.
Yes, education. So important and I'm glad Mexico is taking it seriously and viewing the costs associated with it as an investment. As you mention, the states are taking a different approach and have been chopping away at the concept for decades. An informed and educated populace might not put the clowns back in charge, I suppose.
I don't know how you keep up on all these things, Mike, but I'm glad you do. Now that the plane promise has been fulfilled, I wonder how long until the federal highways lose their toll booths, another promise, or was that a wishful thinking rumor?
I really enjoyed your article. Normally I'm very skeptical when gringos write about Mexican politics. One of the things I love about living in Mexico is not having to hear about US politics every day and not being able to understand Mexican politics.
I like the voice you've found for talking about this. When my gringo friends talk about politics it's very obvious that they're just repeating what their Mexican parejas tell them.
Your voice sounds very genuine. I'd love to read more about your experience in mexico
