Mexico is becoming a great place to visit - and maybe even eventually live there:

"On January 12, tens of thousands of Mexican citizens packed into the Zócalo to hear President Claudia Sheinbaum deliver her report on the first 100 days of government. Her announcements reflected an agenda both ambitious in scale and comprehensive in scope: sixteen new laws and twelve constitutional reforms ranging from the recognition of Indigenous peoples and the real increase in the minimum wage, to the recovery of Mexico’s national ownership of natural resources and a crackdown on tax evasion. “Let it be heard loud and clear,” Sheinbaum said. “We will not return to the neoliberal model … We will continue with Mexican Humanism and with the maxim of ‘For the good of all, first the poor.’”

That maxim sits at the heart of the “Fourth Transformation,” the political-economic project inaugurated by Sheinbaum’s predecessor Andrés Manuel López Obrador, or AMLO. Founded during his own campaign for the presidency, AMLO’s National Regeneration Movement (Morena, in its Spanish abbreviation) drew inspiration from the country’s three prior great transformations—the War of Independence (1810–1821), the War of Reform (1857–1861), and the Mexican Revolution (1910–1917). A century on from the Revolution, AMLO claimed to recover its tradition of popular self-determination, proposing “a system of democratic planning of national development” to shape economic growth toward the goals of “independence” and the “political, social, and cultural democratization of the nation.” Sheinbaum now promises to construct a “second storey” atop this political edifice."

I'm a metalhead from head to toe since *ohmygodno* years, but I also enjoy other genres. Especially some #EDM

A few months ago I discovered a new favourite: #MidnightGeneration from #Mexico

Yesterday they released their new album "Tender Love" and I'm LOVING it.

Play tips: "Don't Wait Up", "Teacher", "Energy", "Shinin'"

Their #music is so relaxing, "groovy" and brightens my mood when listening to it.

Si me preguntan por la mejor banda de rock mexicano de los últimos 10 años sin dudarlo tantito diría que Porter pese a ser fan acérrimo de Austin TV.

Si nos vamos algo más atrás posiblemente La Barranca.

Porter actual god.

It won't be just #Canada who steps up to provide international leadership and cooperation.

At some point, it may become more optimal for the #American #car manufacturers to move the entire operation to #Canada and #Mexico, design and build the cars in those countries free of imbecilic government overreach, then import the ready-to-drive "American" cars into the US—provided we Americans are still able to afford cars by then.

US President Donald Trump’s latest round of reciprocal tariffs has hit multiple countries hard, with rates ranging from 10% to as high as 50%. However, some nations—Russia, Canada, Mexico, North Korea, and Cuba—were left out of the list. The exclusion has raised eyebrows, especially as major trade partners like India (26%), the European Union (20%), and Vietnam (46%) have been slapped with hefty duties. #us #usa #news #minimarketonlineltd #America #trump #russia #canada #mexico #NorthKorea
