add to cart   close window

The article focuses on activities of Mexican Government. The author imagines the economic conditions of Mexico. The author thinks of his expenses during the time of inflation in Mexico. After thinking of the economic conditions of the country, the author is having a feeling that he is watching a telenovela, a Mexican soap opera, directed by an evil maniac with a screenplay by a writer who started out working for Disney but then betrayed his principles to work on B horror movies. In Mexico, people tell jokes about everything; black humor is the antidote to disinformation.
