He did one of his famous ma\u00f1aneras where he discussed Security, Economics and Foreign Policy . The Mexican President made a few bold statements referring to pressure he&#8217;s getting from the US and Canada regarding the green new deal. I&#8217;ll talk about that at greater lengths next week, but in reference to the economy, AMLO announced just a couple months more of this pesky inflation\u2026from Mexico News Daily,<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"vURKYNj7NX\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/mexiconewsdaily.com\/news\/amlo-predicts-months-high-inflation\/\">AMLO predicts at least 3 more months of high inflation as rate hits 8%<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;AMLO predicts at least 3 more months of high inflation as rate hits 8%&#8221; &#8212; Mexico News Daily\" src=\"https:\/\/mexiconewsdaily.com\/news\/amlo-predicts-months-high-inflation\/embed\/#?secret=XAY1WiTidP#?secret=vURKYNj7NX\" data-secret=\"vURKYNj7NX\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><em>AMLO predicts at least 3 more months of high inflation as rate hits 8%<\/em><\/h3>\n<h4><em>Inflation will begin to ease in October or November, the president said<\/em><\/h4>\n<p><em>Published on Friday, July 22, 2022<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Inflation \u2013 which rose to 8.16% in the first half of July \u2013 will start coming down in three or four months, President L\u00f3pez Obrador predicted Friday.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>National statistics agency INEGI reported Friday that inflation increased 0.43% in the first 15 days of July compared to the second half of June, leaving the annual rate at a level not seen in more than two decades.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Prices for potatoes, eggs and oranges all rose by more than 6% in the space of just two weeks, while onions were 5.9% more expensive in the first half of July. The cost of air travel also increased, going up by more than 6%, tourism packages were up 4.4% and electricity rose 1.4%.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In annual terms, inflation \u2014 currently the product of a range of factors including pandemic-related supply chain problems, Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine, coronavirus restrictions in China and drought \u2014 was more than 17% for fruit and vegetables, over 16% for meat, almost 12% for processed food, beverages and tobacco, almost 8% for non-food goods, nearly 5% for energy products and 3% for housing and school fees.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Items in the canasta b\u00e1sica \u2014 a collection of basic foodstuffs and household items \u2014 rose 8.86% over the past year, a figure 0.7% higher than the annual headline rate, which is well over double the central bank\u2019s 3% target.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The high inflation rate will give the central bank added incentive to raise interest rates again when its board meets on August 11. The Bank of M\u00e9xico raised its benchmark interest rate by 75 basis points to 7.75% in late June. It was the first time since the introduction of a new monetary policy regime in 2008 that the bank had lifted its key rate by three-quarters of a percentage point.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Speaking in Puerto Vallarta at his regular news conference, L\u00f3pez Obrador predicted that inflation will begin to ease in October or November. \u201cThat\u2019s my forecast because international conditions are going to start to change,\u201d he said.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The president highlighted that inflation in Mexico is lower than that in the United States, where it reached 9.1% in June, and the European Union, where it hit 9.6% last month. The federal government subsidizes gasoline, helping to keep energy prices down, but L\u00f3pez Obrador acknowledged that authorities are struggling to keep a lid on food prices \u2013 despite the announcement in May of an agreement with the private sector to ensure fair prices for 24 products in the canasta b\u00e1sica.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThat\u2019s why we\u2019re now promoting all productive activity because the formula is to be self-sufficient in energy and self-sufficient in food,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s what we\u2019ve proposed for many years, in contrast with the neoliberal model,\u201d L\u00f3pez Obrador said.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201c\u2026 We\u2019re now strongly promoting production for one\u2019s own consumption, the production of corn, beans. And we\u2019re strengthening our fertilizer production plants and the plan we have is to distribute free fertilizer to 2 million producers starting this year.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>L\u00f3pez Obrador declared that the government is doing its bit so that high inflation is brought under control soon. \u201cWith optimism, without falling into triumphalism, I can tell you that we\u2019re going to be fine, we\u2019re going to control inflation soon,\u201d he said.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201c\u2026 We\u2019ve endured two calamities that have brought us a lot of pain [and] suffering: the pandemic and this inflation, which is global, \u2026 exacerbated by the war in Ukraine, because the economy was already in bad shape, it was complicated by the pandemic and ended up worse with the war. They\u2019re external factors that could improve, could change. \u2026 There may be opportunities for a fix, that\u2019s what I believe,\u201d L\u00f3pez Obrador said.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>And I have a link to that article from Mexico News Daily with reports from El Economista and Milenio in the show notes.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"vURKYNj7NX\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/mexiconewsdaily.com\/news\/amlo-predicts-months-high-inflation\/\">AMLO predicts at least 3 more months of high inflation as rate hits 8%<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;AMLO predicts at least 3 more months of high inflation as rate hits 8%&#8221; &#8212; Mexico News Daily\" src=\"https:\/\/mexiconewsdaily.com\/news\/amlo-predicts-months-high-inflation\/embed\/#?secret=XAY1WiTidP#?secret=vURKYNj7NX\" data-secret=\"vURKYNj7NX\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>JR Takes a Fall and Dislocates Shoulder and Plans for a Donate Page<\/h3>\n<p>I got a message from JR who informed me he had taken a bad fall, walking in the rain last week and he dislocated his shoulder.

Suggestions to make the show better, suggestions for guests, thank you notes, questions about paradise, I love getting emails. Well, most of them. Even the ones who are pissed off about something I say. Look, if I don\u2019t make you laugh, or cry, or think, or even angry sometimes, wouldn\u2019t this be a boring show? I think it would.<\/p>\n<p>But I do get emails sometimes that are a bit cryptic. I had one guy ask me if I could meet him and his wedding party and join, he and his partner in holy matrimony. Seriously. And it got me thinking I should becoming an ordained minister with the universal life church so I could hitch vacationers. But after looking into it, I found out I can\u2019t legally do that in Mexico as a citizen of the United States. So that idea, not so good. Oh well.<\/p>\n<p>A few weeks back I got an email from listener Craig with a subject line.. <em>Two Months of Confusion in PV<\/em>\u2026a bit intriguing right? That got my attention.<\/p>\n<p>The body of the email was a bit cryptic\u2026..it read\u2026<\/p>\n<p><em>I would love to live in pv, however I went wild with danger in 2 months.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So that got totally got my attention, and I sent him back an email asking for a little bit of clarification, and one thing led to another, and we ended up on the phone together.<\/p>\n<p>Craig\u2019s story&#8230;is let\u2019s just say, a bit Hunter S. Thompson-esque. Hunter Thompson was the founder of the Gonzo Journalism in the 1970\u2019s. Thompson wrote about the Hell\u2019s Angels after embedding himself in the gang. His most famous work is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Wiki pages\u2026.<em>\u201dThompson, who was among the forefathers of the New Journalism movement, said in the February 15, 1973, issue of Rolling Stone, &#8220;If I&#8217;d written the truth I knew for the past ten years, about 600 people\u2014including me\u2014would be rotting in prison cells from Rio to Seattle today. Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>And Craig\u2019s story may be a bit much for you. It involves drugs and the underground drug culture. It involves sex, and it involves crime and even rock and roll. But is that proper material for this podcast? What do you think? It could be interesting but it is so far out and way different material than I put out on this podcast. So, what do you think?<\/p>\n<p>And Craig, do you want to write the story down and have me read it, or do you want me to send you a microphone?<\/p>\n<p>Let me know what you think.<\/p>\n<p>Okay let\u2019s get to our first guest.<\/p>\n<h3>Ceviche \u00a0and Aguachili Festival, At Puerto Magico, Puerto Vallarta July 31st 2022<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-10315\" src=\"https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/294775430_5300824066675362_6839836939495298046_n-600x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/294775430_5300824066675362_6839836939495298046_n-600x1024.jpg 600w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/294775430_5300824066675362_6839836939495298046_n-176x300.jpg 176w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/294775430_5300824066675362_6839836939495298046_n-768x1311.jpg 768w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/294775430_5300824066675362_6839836939495298046_n-900x1536.jpg 900w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/294775430_5300824066675362_6839836939495298046_n.jpg 937w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This weekend at the Puerto Magico if you are in town, you need to get to the Ceviche \u00a0and Aguachili Festival for great food and entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>Many of you know what Ceviche is but maybe not Aguachili.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Wiki pages\u2026<\/p>\n<p><em>Aguachile is a Mexican dish made of shrimp, submerged in liquid seasoned with chili peppers, lime juice, salt, cilantro, slices of cucumber and slices of onion.
