Militarized Immigration

All I know>
Gas now costs me $5.41 a gallon [usd] and my electric bill is about 3 times more than in the USA. All brought to me by the socialists of Mexico.

Now we know the extent, and limited nature, of what you know.

Good thing the Mexican Gobermint does not have control of tomato production.

Guessing you will include another response about toilet paper. RATHER THAN how the Mexican Gobermint represses its own people financially by killing competition and free markets.

I’m not about to defend the poor quality of service I have experienced from CFE, but I don’t believe that is a function of government ownership. I live part-time in British Columbia, Canada, a place that you may well consider the be a hell-hole of socialism.

Our electric system is owned and operated by the provincial government. We are just north of Washington state. Our government-owned and operated ferry system is much more extensive than that of Washington State. Americans marvel at how well-developed our ferry system is. It’s only recent significant problems occurred when a right-wing government tried to operate it as a private business and installed an American as president. He ran it into the ground until “choosing early retirement’.

By the way, both of the ferry system and the electric grid were privately-owned and were “nationalized” by a right-wing government in the 1950s. No government has dared to return to the bad-old-days of private ownership of these important public utilities.

Vehicle insurance is mandatory and is provided exclusively by the government owned and operated insurance corporation.

I enjoy high quality health care through the public system, including hospital care, without having to worry about how I will pay for it. Prescription medications are now largely covered by a provincial pharmacare program to be superseded by a federal pharmacare program.

Flaws of CFE are not the result of government ownership, they are affected by of challenges of hundreds of years of colonialism followed by decades of revolutions, including foreign (largely American) interference.

If the flaws were the function of government ownership, TelMex would not have its long history of unsatisfactory service.

We repeatedly see that “free markets” are anything but free. The capitalist markets are oligopolies. “Competition” is a gentlemen’s club of understandings of what prices will maximize profits for the wealthy.
