.>>’’it’s a lot easier to start a small business there’’<<. Yeah, it’s amazing what you can do when bribery is the coin of the realm as it is in Mexico.
I lived in a small city in Morelos state for a short time in 2011. I was referring to the lack of licensing and regulation that hinders small business here.
There are business models that we have here that don’t yet exist there. Two that I noticed when I was there was pizza delivery and coin operated laundomats. I was paying $11.00 a week to have my laundry done because there were no coin laundries in the entire city. Man, I could have opened a business for nothing there and made a lot of money.
Of course, you have to factor in theft, kidnapping, and decapitation. LOL It really is a hellhole there but in some ways they are more free than we are.
