Here it is the 27th and thank god, fuel prices had increased in increments the same as they had. Magna 19.22 Premium 20.02
The US has it's own form of politicoeconomics
An evil sickness of getting richer sitting behind a desk and taxing the poor via speculation. we got along fine without speculation for 200 years. So why now is "Willy The Weasel" running the company store?
Political figures are transitory.
The important thing for me personally is to remember I am an American.
Package bagging, windshield wiping, pasa-pasa parking lot helpers all get tipped. Yesterday I laid 150 pesos on my housekeeper "for the hell of it" Nena maintains my house like a hospital. She makes a decent wage of 300 pesos for a three hour weekly floor to ceiling cleanout (small place) She is perspiring when she gets done. And she insists on using not only soap but disinfectant. This is the mark of not only hard work but intelligence. One week brought a box of chocolates along with her pay. She mother-hen's me like family.
A WHOLE 20 PESO RESTAURANT TIP? Gee a flood of one quart of gasoline for the family car. And I am considered "In the middle of the bottom of three tiers of poverty" in the USA.
Whether or not someone exploits another person reveals their character. Wealthy Mexicans and our own leaders seem to have a problem in this regard.
So I basically shine politics on. I have to. Ethics is another subject.
So I try my best to help out people less fortunate than I.
