Mexico has the 12th biggest economy in the world, just below the G8, infact Mexico desperately wants to join an expanded G8.
You probably already know this but just incase you did'nt .........

Using a PPP basis is arguably more useful when comparing differences in living standards on the whole between nations because PPP takes into
account the relative cost of living and the inflation rates of different countries, rather than just a nominal gross domestic product (GDP)
comparison.

With Mexicans continuing to migrate to the US, a declining birthrate and a growing economy, they are expecting labor shortages in about 10 years.
That will bring labor costs even higher.

I can see that, no matter how many Brits we squashed in two wars, it wasn't enough.
There is quite a difference between Political Correctness and Literary correctness.
You're the first person (in the history of the world) that has aimed the term "Political Correctness" in my direction.
I am anything BUT that.

I say that’s rather "below the belt" don't you think and totally uncalled for?
Oh, you don't think do you, you probably have the mentality of someone who finds occurrences of "blue on blue" amusing!
I am not going to lower myself to your level Bill; I am not going to trade insults or indeed comment on your nationality, as easy and tempting as it
is.
What I will say is you are probably the most obnoxious, dislikeable little "man", and I use that term lightly, I have been unfortunate enough to
happen upon on any forum.
I trust you are proud of yourself.
RIP
Apologies to makana.gabriel

"Jingoism is defined in the Oxford English Dictionary as "extreme patriotism in the form of aggressive foreign policy". In practice, it refers to the
advocation of the use of threats of or actual force against other countries in order to safeguard what they perceive as their country's national
interests, and colloquially to excessive bias in judging one's own country as superior to others".
And people wonder why folks beyond the border like partaking in "America bashing" and generally taking a "pop" at Americans?
There is your answer!
As you were.

Spoken like a true Brit. You have 10 members on your Baja board and you continue to post here to try get new members for your website.
I have read your board and its as interesting as your british food and your lousy dental work.
Who cares what others think as we are the center of the universe.
As you were limey...
The advice I am about to give you is worth what you are paying for it.

Chi v. Mex
Seriously, though, there is some merit to the argument that Mexico could become the NEW China.
Given the rash of shoddy and/or poisonous products that China has dumped on the U.S., one COULD look at Mexico's production history and conclude that
they are well-suited to challenge China.
