It's how it used to be in Europe, it tends to be the case in poorer, pre--industrial nations.

@Wade Chadwick I know, I grew up with no grandparents just like the western ways and I absolutely hate it however how is México a pre industrial nation?

@@koiue.g8709 I'm extremely lucky, I had mine and I still live in a house with four generations. It is not meant as a slight, and it is not technically correct but 'modern' nation is a bit vague. Industrialisation leads to modernity but it's at different paces for each nation. The UK went through industrialisation in the 1800s but it took over 100 years for the old family ways to be eroded by the state. As the state becomes more powerful and dominant it replaces the local culture and family, a stronger centraliseed power does this. Mexico with it's 'band' geography still allows for the other bits to hold to traditional ways for longer.

@Wade Chadwick yes you are really lucky, some tradicional ways has it's advantages , and now with your explanation you are right about México, many parts of the country are still very traditional and outside the central government rule, an example of this are the regions plagued by war where the government can't put any order

You guys must have biological features adapted to high altitude living, like the inhabitants of Nepal and Tibet. Their blood has more oxygen carrying capacity and their muscle tissues are adapted to better use oxygen. Also, higher lung capacity and stamina. Just a guess, but worth investigating. Central Mexican athletes should do better at marathons than athletes from plains-dwelling populations in Mesoamerica.

You are correct, I am from the southeastern part of Mexico, which is flat land, and whenever I travel to a mountainous area in the center, my body feels very strange due to altitude sickness.

No, Mexico should be a thriving nation in this day and age, it’s corruption and gangs that prevent it from doing so. Corrupt government officials demand bribes and gangs demand protection money from businesses that get “too successful” or big so businesses have no desire to expand in fear of these extra expenses. And businesses that do pay these costs have less money to invest in improving operations. Not to mention the high taxes and regulations placed on businesses and government incompetence in infrastructure Mexico is the 15th largest economy and growing 5% every year (which is really good) but wealth inequality means most people can’t benefit from all the wealth being created.

The Swiss also have Mother Nature against them yet they have a near perfect State and their citizens are the most wealthy and have the highest standard of living in Europe.The main problem is definitely corruption and not Geography.

Love Colombia! 🇲🇽❤️🇨🇴

Also it is the only place in Colombia that isn't as hot as hell, Quito in Ecuador is literally cold despite being on the equator itself. Elevation is the reason

In a similar vein, Cusco, the former capital of the Inca Empire is at 11,200 feet, and La Paz, still Bolivia's capital, is at just under 12,000 feet. This is understandable if you consider that to the west of the mountains is the driest desert on earth, and to the east is the Amazon.

I love Colombia, they're like us in México but more lush and vibrant

a large percentage of the water used in Mexico City comes from Lake Mead in Nevada the eastern side of the mountains in northern Mexico perfectly matches the shape of the Chihuahuan desert clear proof that those mountains are blocking the rain clouds to the desert area they should reduce the size of the mountain range and see if the clouds will float pass

Not to mention the rampant corruption of everyone in Mexico. From the President to the guy pushing a food cart, all are corrupt.

Don’t forget the capitol City will be underground in less than 100 years because of the lakebed it’s built on. Y’all the new Venice

Oh, I'm so sorry, but I don't remember why Texoco lake was drained? What was the reason?

@@milamilla1977 To the best of my knowledge; big floods in the 18th century, some of which lasted for years and lead people in central Mexico City to essentially live on top of their houses. It became just too inconvenient, so the Spanish decided to carry out a civil work, the “Trench of Nochistongo” (Tajo de Nochistongo), to drain water out of the valley into the Moctezuma river.

You forget the US took all Mexico good land and left you with a bunch of mountains, I consider texas to be part of mexico

@@luiskross6454 well Texas left by themselves and then joined the USA soon after. Besides, they’ve always had a “Texan before anything” type of identity so I would have to disagree with that part of your comment. However, you would be right on the rest. Regardless of the reasons, the rest of the border states were taken by the USA. I don’t think I forgot anything though, since the video only speaks of Mexico as it is after the Mexican-American war (when all that territory is lost) and even if we counted them, all that territory is still very sparsely populated. If you look those states’ population densities, the majority of their population resides in their main metropolitan areas like Albuquerque (NM), Phoenix (AZ), Las Vegas (NV), Los Angeles/San Diego (CA), Austin (TX), etc so the video’s argument still stands.

@@luiskross6454 That’s a stupid take. The U.S. did not take anything, TX left. TX is not a part of Mexico anymore than it or Mexico is a part of Spain. Tx was only a part of Mexico for about 30 years, it was a Spanish colony for over 300. Your argument is weak.

I have to endure that every time I go to Mexico 😭

this channel is good for forming your baseline knowledge. i will say the videos are very well-made with respect to flow of content and visuals are pretty good too. but what i notice severely lacking is meaningful, forward-thinking analysis. it's hard for me to put into words in a short comment, which is kind of how that same problem arises with short informational videos like these. the fact that Mexico is located directly adjacent to the world's largest nuclear military superpower, the current world hegemonic leader, the current world police, influences just about everything the country could ever aspire to accomplish. this video talks about how "good" the cheap labor is in Mexico without ever attempting to touch on analysis of quality of life for such workers or any sort of class analysis for those types of people. those northern cities mostly exist in less-than-hospitable biome, why are we acting HAPPY that people have to move there to have any hope of making a living?? this video mentions "capital" acquisition, without attempting to discuss any alternative way of structuring an economy in a country where "acquiring capital" has historically proven to be difficult. again, the video is good for what it is, but what it is turned out to be a very American capitalistic centered discussion. i think anyone who understands Mexican history will see that this video kind of feels a little icky in a way that is hard to describe succinctly. car production as its major export? aren't we looking to move AWAY from depending on cars and fossil fuels? natural gas supercharging the economy? again, aren't we supposed to be looking for ways to move AWAY from relying on those kinds of things? this video definitely leaves me wondering, what the hell is Mexico going to do when the way the world operates changes? if America's global influence starts to shrink more than they are comfortable with? Mexico fostered one of the world's first thriving civilizations.
