Why changed the topic, i am asking a Mexico related quesiton.
because drug dealers are not an ethnicity but an international business, where organized crime is international.

Mexican drug dealers work with Chinese, Canadian, Colombian and many other nationalities and Fentanyl is a Chinese sponsored drug but also related to american drug dealers

do you read or do you have an Agenda?

Mexico is not a large drug consumer, the USA that creates the trade, the weapons are bought in the USA and China sends Fentanyl.

Mexico can not stop it because is an international business, the only way to end it is the USA educates the population drugs kill and your government stops sending Fentanyl.

It is not only a nation responsability but of many nations

Fentanyl produced both in China and Mexico, and it's not just drug it's a medicine.

The US medical system just abuse them, and Mexico is the biggest logistic squad.
And this kind of squad is well armed, and seriously damanged your own social strucutres and values.

I don't see any of your leader would solve it.

It can not be solved as long as the USA is a big consumer, because the weapons are bought in the USA, so even if we do not sell weapons they buy them in the USA, China produces the basic elements cartels are as criminals as the chinese criminals or the US criminals is an international business it will be solved only until the US citizen understand drugs kill, when that happens and the USA has stricter gun control

EV buses are not panacea but tell me what benefit us buy Chinese electric cars when we have our own


DINA and MegaFlux develop electric bus
CDMX will be the first entity to have them

DINA Camiones and MegaFlux jointly develop an electric bus for urban service. It will have the capacity to carry 40 passengers.

“We encapsulate the most expensive part, which is the powertrain. Derived from this construction, we linked up with DINA. Together we are designing a bus line to meet the needs of the country's cities”, mentioned Roberto Gottfried Blackmore, CEO of MegaFlux.

Miguel Ángel Velasco, general director of DINA Camiones, stressed that electromobility will be the value chain that structures economies in the future.

The Ministry of Economic Development was in charge of making the link between the two companies and supporting the business plan.

From Iztapalapa to the world
Roberto Gottfried noted that MegaFlux offers three powertrains. One of 100 volts that moves vehicles of up to three tons. Another 400 volts for vehicles up to 10 tons and another 800 volts for units from 12 to 18 tons.

"In this case, with our powertrains we can convert any DINA truck or bus to electric."

The MegaFlux production plant is located in Iztapalapa and currently produces the motor, harness, design and assembly of the batteries for an electric truck for Grupo Modelo.

Grupo Modelo presented its new 100% electric low bed truck with reused plastic components. It is a unique vehicle in the world in which innovation and technology contribute to two priorities of the company's logistics strategy: driver safety and commitment to the environment.

The recycled elements make the truck a lighter vehicle, while the low bed (closer to the ground) allows the operator to maneuver more easily in terms of access, loading and unloading.

“Our commitment to the environment does not stop. This is a 100% Mexican manufacturing unit that will help Grupo Modelo fulfill its commitment to reduce its polluting emissions by 25% by 2025”, mentioned Cristian Benes, Regional Director of Purchasing and Sustainability of Grupo Modelo.

The unit was presented in Quintana Roo, within the framework of the Grupo Modelo Annual Regional Logistics Convention.

Once again, the new truck is the result of the sum of the talent of great business allies of the brewery. It was manufactured by MegaFlux, a company specialized in the development of electric trains, while GAMI, a Mexican body manufacturer, carried out the modification of the chassis and incorporated the electrical and reusable plastic components, in line with the sustainable and operational objectives of the company. It is worth mentioning that the chassis of the presented unit weighs up to 1 ton less compared to other electric trucks with similar characteristics.

"The new electric unit has a capacity of 18 tons or 8 pallets of beer products, and adds to the acquisition of 20 electric units that we announced in December of last year and that are already circulating on the streets of Mexico City," he added. Benes.

This proudly Mexican truck, where safety, innovation and sustainability are combined, has a load capacity 30% greater than its diesel equivalent and 8% greater than its electric equivalent. On the other hand, the battery has a useful life of approximately 10 years and the motor up to 20 years.

Just in December of last year, the company chaired by Cassiano De Stefano presented the first 100% electric heavy transport fleet in Mexico, with an investment of 2.9 million dollars (just over 60 million pesos). Twenty 10-ton trucks were launched by the leading company in the beer market in Mexico City.

Grupo Modelo thus materializes environmentally friendly solutions and projects to advance its sustainability goals by 2025 and its goal of zero net emissions throughout its value chain by 2040. Through innovation and technology we always dream big to create a more sustainable future with more reason to toast.

This is a country in Latin America but not the Spanish-speaking one. The one country that I am truly intrigued by is the perpetual collapse of Haiti. This is one country that had a great start after independence but just went to the dogs.

It is basically the Somalia of the Western hemisphere today and there is no effective law. The people there are like pirates, living off drugs, gang activity and practically anything that keeps them afloat. They fought a bloody independence war against the French but frankly, I don't see what's the point of their independence if they cannot rebuild themselves.

As if their own mismanagement was not enough, mother nature for some reason has been pissed off at Haitians. The 2012 earthquake destroyed their economy and till now they are functioning like South Sudan or Somalia.


In fact, they are so mismanaged that they make the Argentinian economy look like an Asian Tiger economy. Oh and for all the hate that they have for the French, they speak French creole and pure Parisian French. Very weird country.

Mictlán is the place of the dead of the ancient Nahuas, civilization of ancient Mexico, and the space of transcendence of the symbolic, spiritual and cultural life of the people; but for the National Autonomous University of Mexico it is seen as the future.
And it is that Mictlán was the name chosen by a group of students from the Faculties of Engineering, Chemistry and Sciences who developed an innovative electric car built under a simple but complex premise: that it works to the maximum, with the minimum and without contaminating.


In an interview with Sputnik, university student Enrique Munive, who is captain of the DZEC Squad —as the student group made up of around 10 people was baptized— explains that the idea of designing and building this car was born from the need to train engineers and specialists. able to cope with new technologies.
Munive is clear in sharing the team's goal: "my vision, the mission is to have a team that develops in Mexico, not only buys things, but from here we show that we can do it," he says.
Mexico is a country recognized for its car assembly capacity, since only in June 2023, it managed to produce 331,707 light vehicles, a figure that represents an increase of 16.26% compared to the same month of the previous year, from according to data from the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi).
Despite its strong workforce and technical capacity, the truth is that foreign companies are the ones that put the technology behind these cars. General Motors, American; Stellantis, from the Netherlands, and Nissan, from Japan, are the automakers that lead the assembly of cars in the Latin American country.

ElectroBike from Mexico

I once passed through the Condesa neighborhood and saw this store, I thought how cool they were, because they are apparently ordinary bikes, but they have a motor that runs on electricity (in case you get tired of pedaling). } Now that I investigated more about the services that ElectroBike offers, I saw that they have theft insurance, financing and leasing plans, bike rentals, and bike customization. They have expanded to the United States, Ecuador and Panama. There is no doubt that very soon they will be everywhere.

Avera is a Mexican company founded in 2018. They offer high-quality home and kitchen products, which also include a purchase, use and after-sales service experience that no one else in this business category offers: the so-called Avera experience. They take care of each of the details that make up the purchase, use of the product, support, maintenance, etc.

On this occasion we had the opportunity to speak directly with Jorge Cielak, CEO of Avera. Jorge comments that thanks to the experience he obtained living in Shanghai, he was able to notice that customer service is one of the great weaknesses of corporations. Thus, he began to develop his own line of household appliances, initially focused on two categories: water heaters and cooking.

Avera quickly began to position itself in marketplaces such as Mercado Libre and Amazon, since, as Jorge relates, they were the only ones available in that market. It was thus that sales began to rise and the brand began to be more recognized than it was, and at this point, one of the biggest challenges for the company came: technical service.

Jorge comments that he, like many of us, had always had great frustration with the way in which electrical appliance companies served their after-sales customers. Turning these frustrations into goals to improve, he began to recruit various service centers that could attend to the technical service of his products and customers until he opened his own service center in the Metropolitan Area of Mexico City.

Avera currently distributes its products in marketplaces in other countries such as Chile, Colombia and soon in Brazil.

One of the things that has most differentiated Avera from its competitors is that both in its devices and in the operation of the company, its objective is to take care of the planet and leave the smallest possible carbon footprint.

Through Scolel'te, Avera joins the carbon capture program through reforestation and sustainable forest management activities.

With this, they not only contribute to the mitigation of climate change, they also collaborate with rural communities in Chiapas to promote social well-being and thus also strengthen their capacity to establish functional forest systems.

Today, Avera is an omnichannel brand, present in retail stores and positioned with more than 20 SKUS in Liverpool, Sears, etc. It also has a distribution channel specialized in wholesale for companies and distributors.

Jorge knows that the growth potential of his company is enormous. Avera has managed to position itself in the digital world in an impressive way, but the current challenge is to enter the physical market since Avera's percentage of sales in this sector is a small part of the total sales made in the industry by other brands.

In terms of innovation, Avera seeks to be a brand that not only offers household appliances, but also makes customers' lives even easier. Currently, they focus on the development of products so that they can be controlled by users through a mobile application.

relax bot if you can not admit the role china has in tyhe fentanyl then you are worthlless to even look at your propaganda from CCP bots


WASHINGTON –
Senior U.S. policy makers took aim at China on Wednesday over its approach to Latin America, accusing Beijing of breaching economic norms and urging it to do more to help combat the illegal fentanyl trade.


Testifying before a House of Representatives subcommittee, Brian Nichols, assistant secretary of state for Western Hemisphere Affairs, reiterated the Biden administration’s view that China’s commercial inroads in the region have been marked by a "lack of transparency” in deals with "strings attached.”




Nichols said Latin American countries have grown tired of China’s investment tactics, feeling "buyer’s remorse,” and that the United States needs to provide a viable alternative through diplomacy, foreign aid and private investment.

"It is vital that we answer their call,” he said.

The Chinese Embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The total consumption of beef, poultry and pork per inhabitant in Argentina could be around 115.2 kg in 2023. If so, it would represent an improvement of 4.2% compared to the previous year, and levels of consumption close to those of 2017. On the other hand, each inhabitant would consume in 2023 a total of 4.0 and 3.4 kg above the averages of the last 5 and 10 years, respectively.


Today Argentina is among the 10 most cheese-producing countries in the world and in Latin America and per capita consumption is high at 12 and 13 kg per year. Soft cheeses are consumed first, then semi-hard cheeses, and hard cheeses third.

Cheese is part of our gastronomic culture. More than 100 types of cheese are produced in the country and they are made from

four species: cow, sheep, goat, buffalo and their mixtures.



Did you know that we are such cheese lovers?

Although cattle farming is the most widespread in Argentina, only 3.5% is dedicated to dairy production and derivatives. There are cow cheeses created in our country such as Banquete, Atuel and Cremoso, among others.



The production and marketing of cheeses has great added value and significant potential. In order to develop it, it is necessary to extend the cheese culture, achieve better and better products, know its benefits and encourage consumption as part of a balanced diet and a healthy life.
