It's been 7 months and the elevator in my condo building has not been completed yet. They are very slow and barely make any progress. I guess all the fast Mexicans are working in the US. And it's a small elevator with 4 stops the shaft has been built for a year now. Yeah, 3world problems. No seriously these guys are slow and sloppy. Always re-doing stuff.

The pace of life in general is slower in Mexico than it is here, and that's part of its appeal for tourists.



If you sit down in a restaurant in Mexico, you won't get your order taken quickly, it will take a while for the food to arrive, and you won't be rushed out.  You have to ask for your check.  They won't bother you if you sit there sipping a drink for an extra hour.

Don't worry, Obama's will even it all out. It used to be that only the fast ones made it across the border but now they're not bothering to catch the slow ones either. Pretty soon the ones here will be equally slow.

The slow ones have trouble getting through the border.

They have no Mexicans waiting outside of Home Depot in Mexico. In fact it's pretty difficult to find workers here

They don't have a residential mortgage industry in Mexico so they build as they can afford it over the years instead of loading up on debt like we do.

Imagine what will happen to their economy if they ever get contract enforceability and a mortgage industry!

Yeah, went to the Bahamas once. Took a tour of Grand Bahama. Out away from town there were some unfinished houses. The guide said the owners would build them themselves and progress as funds allowed.

Same thing along the Suez.  When their housing boom went bust, there were plenty of unfinished hotels.  The housing bubble was all over.

A few year's back, I remember reading an article that pretty much lamented just that - developers in Jalisco were complaining about how hard it was to find qualified workers, as most were in the US where they commanded higher wages.

Where are you, FWIW?

My uncle was an engineer for a construction company that did  lot of business in Mexico.  He said, "The Mexican people are the people of the future because everything is always 'Manana, manana, manana.'"

He said one time the supplier for steel to build a bridge in Mexico was a local place.  In the contract was a penalty clause for some amount of money for every day the steel was late.  In the end delivery was so late that they got the steel for free.  The supplier actually owed them money to even take delivery but they agreed to just take the steel for free.

I would have been afraid to accept the steel at all under those conditions just from a safety standpoint.
