Yes, it is a hoax but we heard it live on a TV news station last night during the Grammies. I guess these days they just throw this chit up without
checking any sources.

Just because an owner of Cemex dies doesn't mean the business closes down.

Carlos Slim doesn't own Cemex. Maybe you were thinking Telmex?

You are right, it's Lorenzo Zambrano, but I had read a misleading reference in Google which associated Slim with CEMEX, thanks for clarifying.

Does his death(if true) cause the 1% to be less than 1%?
Why do Liberals insist and demand that achievers pay the way for nonachievers who are to lazy to succeed, or are just failures by their own choice?
Criminals prefer unarmed victims, dictators prefer unarmed subjects.
Why do ignorant people continue their blabbering when it only proves to others how stupid they are.

Although I'm not a capitalist groupie, I have to say that if Carlos Slim Helu lived in America, he would personify the American dream. Son of Lebanese
immigrants, he drove a cab in Mexico City as a young man.
Today, through Grupo Carso, he owns a whole bunch of mierda (Google it to see just how far reaching it is), not to mention his standing as the number
one or number two richest man in the world.
His philanthropic endeavors match that of Bill Gates.

If Carlos Slim lived in America, he wouldnt be nearly as rich, because he would have REAL competition.
Anyone living in Mexico can appreciate how poor Telmex service can be, especially internet. We RARELY get the advertised data rate over here and
outages are numerous. You actually have to pay moonlighting Telmex employees to hook you up to their telco lines or you wait for
months..........repairs can take days. Very understaffed for our area.

Adam Smith, father of economics and proponent of market based capitalism, indicated that competition was what it is all about. Without healthy
competition, the best things that market based capitalism has to offer are not realized.
There are many examples of the lack of the existence of healthy competition, it is what plagues all market based capitalist economies.
Adam Smith said that healthy competition results in efficiency and low prices that sustain fair profits and optimally benefits society and the economy
itself. He said that proper competition results in low prices that sustain just enough profit to make it worthwhile for the entrepreneur to stay in
business. Unhealthy competition is where there isn't enough competition to suppress prices and encourage efficiency...what you have is one or a few
entrepreneurs making windfall profits thru uncontested higher prices without having to be efficient.
