I never have understood why Mexico is a poor country.

When something doesn't work, their mode of action is to wait & hope it will resolve for itself.

Last year a friend in a Mexican residence kept complaining to the landlord that there was no more water (they have to call a "water-truck" to come refill the reserves). The owner answered him in all seriousness "work slower so you sweat less and don't need to shower".

It's only one example from many other ones.
