Like the weather, or anything else - why talk about it? Why even think about it? This is classic rural African, or Asian philosophy. Accept it and go
on to other more important things, like chew the tastiest betel nut or send the witch doctor a basket of fruit.
Course there is that black velour portrait of Elvis that needs to go up in the living room, and where did I put that brochure of that Jacked-up F-900
I got down at the Ford place?

Not to change the subject, if we absolutely agree it's a drop in the bucket then why do I go get water only on Wednesdays when it's 2 X 1? It's only a
savings of 11 pesos, but somehow I compelled to do it. It's not the money as I tip the guy who puts it in my car. 
Maybe it's just the idea that I think I am getting a good deal.

Howard.. It's simple..

When your retired.. it's all about the money going out..

new 'buy dollars' sign on the fabric store, they were buying at 11 to 1.

Let's see what happens if the tipo de cambio approaches 14.0 to 1
Lying Banco de Mexico says they have what for currency reserve dollars...?
$143,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
Let's see them give them away to the treasury to maintain the peso rather than ship them by the pallet load to Houston or the Cayman Islands.

Wanna go back to the old days when a store purchase on a register rang up 296,443 pesos?
The December 2013 way: Ya sticks your card into the machine and ya wants 100 dollars worth of pesos. The machine spits out 1,200 pesos
With the devaluing peso
The 25 of January way, Ya sticks your card in the machine and ya wants 100 dollars worth of pesos. The machine spits out 1,350 pesos.
Like on 21 December 1994, when a chupacabra ran off with forty tons of 100 dollar bills, the Bank of Mexico lies its ass-off about how many dollars
the treasury is holding to prop up the peso. Politicians. Billions of dollars in hard currency. Of course they wouldn't dream of touching it. Ever.
And that's a promise.

Fifteen bucks is fifteen bucks. And if things get sticky we may see the peso at 17 to 1.
Mexico suddenly has found themselves flooded with next to worthless crude oil and cadres of oinking politicos that demand the trough be kept full.
The gasoline and diesel issue is based SOLELY on a public that says "A REFINERY? NOT IN OUR BACK YARD!" And an oil industry that says "BUILD MORE
REFINERIES AND DRIVE DOWN THE PRICE OF PRODUCT? ARE YOU NUTS?"

Maybe that's you're problem - you been smokin' and decomposing between the ears. Well, time for you guys to drag out the Gun N Ammo back issues and
continue to get eddycatted. Course you could spend a little time planning your upcoming pilgrimage to Graceland. Wotta Hoot.
