Lower GDP per capita and lower average wages than the US. You need data for this basic knowledge too? Google it.
Most of this conversation can be summed up by you being an idiot by:
lower GDP per capita does not tell any thing about standard of living. capita is income what about expenses?
1. Attempting to assert that Mexico and the US have roughly the same average standard of living. It's wrong and if it were not for your other comments, it would be the stupidest thing anyone has posted on this thread.
These aren't exact or without bias, but literally no one except you has ever put Mexico's living standard on par with America's:
you can throw all the links but unless the Mexico population flee to America for 9 to 5 office Jobs. there is no practical difference in standard of living. US-Mexico is world busiest land border.
This is your definition only. Cite me a source where anyone other than you defines national competency by the abiilty to handle air traffic.
It means Mexico can hire air controllers that are competent and paid enough that can deal with peak season without strikes. It is the diversity of skill set in Mexico population. Also it shows the strength of Mexico Soft Power that despite rising costs American still want to visit.
What??? Construction worker's labor rates in the US are well about software engineers outside?? How is that relevent?
Doesn't matter. They came for the money. That's the point.
Every country has mismatch of labor and Skills. do you have data they are the best for those jobs or just American employers can find easy to bring them here due to such large hispanic heritage.
despite Mexico becoming US largest trade partner. They need all those construction workers to built factories there. It show the strength of demographics. GM Mexican plant workers got 26% raise in past 10 months. Which can be record for Manufacturing when you consider strength of Mexican Peso.
However, local purchasing power — meaning, what you can buy with what you can earn locally — is also quite a bit lower than in the U.S. (nearly 165% lower, in fact). So the expats who will fare best are those with incomes from outside of Mexico. These might be U.S. or European retirement pensions, investment returns, passive income from royalties, or remote-work salaries."
LOLOL That's exactly what you do.
Mexican GDP per capita is lower. US pay is higher. That's all there is to it for why Mexicans come here.
US pay is higher but expenses are also higher. there is no way to attract the brightest Mexicans to US.
Mexico debt to GDP stay the same post Covid while US took alot more debt. i wonder how many millions of Americans will flee to Mexico if US did not took so much debt. you are making assumptions that only retired American want to stay in Mexico..
5% emigration is enormous, you imbecile.
unless we see decrease in Mexico population. 5% is nothing to talk about over 15 years. You simply not appreciating Mexico demographics. Every country has skill mismatch.
It's Mexican culture, values and soft power, which is why Americans need armed guards 24/7 by the border to prevent immigrant hordes charging through?
hispanic americans are now such large population that they are bound to attract people for there private business and families. It does not mean they are the best for the jobs. they just easy to know. Best and brightest Mexican stay in Mexico thats why there manufacturing wages has risen so fast. Those German understand the skills of the best.
Mexico is poised to overtake Japan and become the world's third-largest auto part manufacturer, thanks to a boost in regional content requirements mandated by the USMCA and the country's ongoing nearshoring trend amid the global supply chain reorganization.
That's not a reply to a survey that said exactly what you wanted to pretend wasn't true. They literally surveryed Mexicans why they want to enter the US. The top answer by far was economic reasons. And you still pretend that Mexico has a better economy than the US and they are moving for American soft power? You really can't shut your mouth and be graceful about being wrong, can you?
you still cannot answer why Mexico software engineers not coming to US. It is a sign of wealthy country.
Because there is no demonstrable difference. No difference = soft power means soft power is useless. The way you argue, everybody can always say they're gaining soft power everyday but it has absolutely no meaning. And Airport expansion is money, hard power again.
This is diarrhea. The entire paragraph literally means nothing. I asked how you figure, or by what measure you term Kuwait's soft power as lower than Qatar's and your answer is that Kuwait is not Qatar. You're an idiot.
you associate money with soft power. I give two countries with similar royal families example that greater money does not translate into soft power.
No, do you? Or you just guess soft power everything?
You can say soft power everything but you connect nothing. You can't even define soft power but you say it is responsible for everything like a Christian says God controls all. This is just more diarrhea.
So the German president "warned" US president about climate change and he did what? Fire up all coal plants and "unleash US energy" which is all fossil fuels. German soft power = nothing. US hard power dictates what happens.
Look around its all German soft power. Its German Soft Power that dictates every thing including US policies and German benefiting in Mexico and Canada.
You have never provided any evidence for soft power; just show that an event happened, and say soft power caused it. None of your arguments are ever supported.
Not different. All people who side with their own country and people do it from natural instinct.
LOLOL No, you don't know hard power. Your words are valued by your hard power. You can say the same thing but if you are weak, you are ignored. If you are strong, people follow. Words are soft power but they are carried and given meaning only by hard power.
only who lacks Soft Power brings hard power in every discussion.
The only evidence here is that you got dropped on your head as a baby. All the Russians who died in battle, all the heros who sacrificed their lives, needn't do so if Russia had only built up and unleashed its full hard power from the very start. And now you are making "soft power" excuses for why a nation known as the "combat race" has retreated almost as much as it advanced against a country a third its own size.
first you have no data. No other country can occupy so much area with such force level. That i can assure. Arabs know this thing well as they both funded modern wars in prior decades and are also at receiving end.. They know limitation of each piece of engineering and its maintainability after long term use. you just need to read between the lines.
