About this episode

@meximalist and economist @GarzaGarciaJG discuss what a new Tesla plant in Nuevo León means for jobs and investment. They review INEGI data on economic slowdown and informal-sector employment, compare the case to Kia and Hyundai's arrival in the region, and debate whether to keep competing on cheap labor or invest in homegrown technology. They close by debating whether Pemex is losing money or turning a profit through taxes.
