Editorial note: This is the last email, and I mean that — I won’t keep asking after today. You’ve been reading Mexico News Daily for months, all for free. In that time, you’ve seen why my wife and I bought this company, what expats really think about safety and healthcare here, honest arguments you may not have agreed with, data-driven indices instead of vibes, and even a joke or two along the way — all of it produced by nearly 75 people, across 15 Mexican states and 6 countries, with zero ads and zero sponsored content. Over 2M readers a month from 178 countries who believe that Mexico News Daily is the #1 English-language source on Mexico. None of that is free to make, even though this newsletter has been free for you to read. $89.99 a year — about 25 cents a day or $8.99 a month — is what keeps it that way for everyone, including you. I don’t know what’s held you back, and that’s okay — you don’t owe me an explanation. One more thing I don’t often say out loud: neither my wife nor I have yet to take a salary from this mission-driven company. Every dollar goes back into the reporting. I’m not telling you that for sympathy. But, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want you to subscribe. If you do it today, welcome to the MND Family — genuinely, thank you for helping fund what we do each month.
