All the street racers going into Mexico have really helped Texas and Mexico's trading!

Does trading with a satellite state count as trading?

Presented with the stat that 15% of under 29s and virtually no one over 44 is sending telegrams, your hypothesis is that young people just have a lot of urgent legal business to attend to? Seriously? Final answer?

Texas and Mexico sitting in a tree...

There are a minority of things that telegrams are still useful for. I think it's niche legal situations mostly, because for telegrams, whatever it is, is binding when it's sent rather than when it's received.

My bank literally requires that I pay my mortgage by check or IN PERSON at the bank 😭

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

It will be good to see the reservoir levels when the snow melts.

I still pay rent with a check because my landlord is old and I can't do EFTs.

So everyone i met was a doctor in Cuba.

Pretty much the same till 2021, COVID really fucked up Americans.

Yes to an extent. It’s not 1:1. There’s a pretty convoluted formula used to determine country of origin depending on where the components come from. If you shipped 100% of components to Mexico where you glued them together, I don’t think you’d get away with an Hecho en Mexico.

0/10 stars for the presentation. Can’t even see the y-axis.

From the geography northern Mexico, it makes a lot of sense. Places like San Antonio and Laredo are further south than Mexican cities such as Hermosillo and Chihuahua.

Our California biz exports to Mexico and we still ship everything to freight forwarders in TX first. It is more efficient to ship on rail to Laredo, then truck it into Mexico City or wherever than to truck it from California directly.

Laredo is like half as close to CDMX as San Diego is.

I work in education and currently use Excel for all of the visualizations I make. Is there something better I can use? I specifically do a lot with trend data

It's funny that China is the "big bad" but all the Republicans who wanted that wall to keep the evil Mexicans out are benefitting from those same Mexicans they wanted out - while China isn't benefitting them whatsoever, but does sell cheap products at least.

If anything, data such as this should help reinforce the relationship with Mexico and use it to both country's advantages.

But you know, build more of a wall and buy pencils from China instead.

The majority of people from the rio grande region (like me) love Texas and americanized culture

Im just going to scroll through the comments to see if someone posted the tasteless joke I thought off. Cant take that heat, myself.

When the title is "NUMBER of Physicians per 1000" and the biggest NUMBER is the rank, it's objectively confusing

I've been to El Paso/Juarez a LOT. I wonder if this includes the truckloads of goods bound for the US that go through texas? As an example, electrolux builds appliances (largest appliance maker in the world with multiple brand names, Swedish company) in Juarez that pass into el paso, and then distribute across the U.S... Just a thought.

I hated them back in the day, too. You only get one episode per week, you look forward to it all week, and it's a clip show? That was very disappointing, back then.

But their president wants to divorce with USA and lay down under China

What sucks for Cali is we are getting historic level rain but we could still be facing shortages since our waters come from up north. Time to build our own damns.

Even a bit of knowledge can seem like a wealth or even impossible to those who have none

No… life expectancy is around the same for the U.S. and Cuba.
