    As a Mexican person, I wish people actually knew how she actually governs. Nice headlines, but holy fuck is it disconnected from reality

        Centralizing power. Dismanteling independent regulatory agencies of transparency (INEAI) and COFECE, the federal economic competition commission, basically the antitrust authority. Overhauling the court system to make judges be elected. Using the military as police. Reforming the national electoral institute to now be partisan.

        Lack of medicine & supply stocks at hospitals (official figures are always 80%, but many reported cases of lack of vaccines, OTC meds, diabetes meds, chemotherapy.)

        Her close ties to narcos, etc. Violence is at an all time high. Corruption is even worse.

        The national debt has never in the history of the country been higher. Neither has the deficit.

        One thing that party is phenomenal at is bot farms tho.

        EDIT: as for this new work reform, 40 hours doesn’t mean 2 days of a week. We will still have to work 6 days a week. Less hours yes ofc … but for many people in CDMX will still have to ride hours on the metro every Saturday.

        As I said, reality is very different from the pretty headlines. And basically she totally caved to the business owners

    What’s, umm, what’s the percent of informal workers in Mexico that are day laborers paid under the table without any formal contract or protection?

    Just now catching up to what we have in the states and not until 2030. So nothing amazing here.

      The US has a 40 hour workweek already*, but we don’t have anything about after-hours contact or pay cuts.

      *Unless you’re salary exempt, an ‘independent contractor’ gig worker, in certain agricultural jobs, or other exceptions.

      I mean…

      and gives 13.5 million workers the legal right to ignore their boss’s calls, messages, and emails after their shift ends

      I’d kill for that. Even if it’s legal in the states it definitely still feels like I gotta take calls all hours of the fucking day and night

      Which states have any of these laws, and of those how many have all of them? If the answer isn’t one, then it’s none. Do better
