I had to look that up https://tradingeconomics.com/mexico/interest-rate seems as though they sit around 6%

meanwhile back in america the big sell off is occurring in bonds

lots of smoke and mirror black magic shows..
I like these documentaries - inside job https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2IaJwkqgPk the casino (wall street) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-Q9AOp2FW8
Going to over price ourselves out of a house and home (billions in bailouts https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/carney-vancouver-condos-affordable-housing-bailout-9.7247279 https://www.thebureau.news/p/moral-hazard-on-steroids-the-investor )
USA tried to pass this https://www.forbes.com/sites/zacharyfolk/2026/06/22/senate-passes-housing-bill-restricting-institutional-investors-from-purchasing-homes/ but, challenged https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-backed-housing-bill-clears-house-after-gop-defies-senate-pressure-campaign monopoly money.

I think I much prefer the mexican system than the north american system. Only one place for housing to go - up, in north america GDP relies on it and credit rating too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_credit_rating

I suspect there are not many bailouts in mexico (?) People would probably riot if big builders were bailed out in the billions (?) the 1% https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIEYmflX090

cash is king it seems in mexico (buy by logic), credit card is queen in north america (buy by emotion)- debt velocity of money want another 100k with that loan and 5 more credit cards as flipping homes becomes as easy as flipping burgers everyone and grandma/pa is doing it. Fools gold.

oil up inflation up interest rates up housing dies can't print/borrow money nor sell the country off (bonds) now what https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_war https://advisor.visualcapitalist.com/historical-oil-prices/ https://wtfhappenedin1971.com/ where does money come from - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE88E9ICdipidHkTehs1VbFzgwrq1jkUJ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8etB_ft35gU as lies, deceit and deception becomes the norm
