I liked this article, except for this part:<p>&quot;...his home country, where the middle class is burgeoning but almost half the population still lives in poverty.&quot;<p>This is a naive claim, it may appear so because people here in Mexico (specially in urban areas) spend a lot on bars, restaurants, vacations, gadgets and even cars.<p>What the author oversees is that this same people have not enough savings in the bank to survive even a couple of months without a job, owe lots of money to the bank and are unable to acquire more relevant goods like a home.<p>What the author calls middle class are in fact poor people with lots of toys and lots of credit cards.

This article is of brutal quality. I am all for uncloaking the superrich and their agendas but this is about spurious links to wife&#x27;s uncle&#x27;s and whatnots for at least 50% of the article. Then I stopped reading because I have better things to do.<p>Please lead with better material.
