The Expat Files - 06/08/11
- How high gas prices and the financial crisis are affecting wealthy Latins- the shame of it all! They’re actually being reduced to laying off bodyguards (how demeaning)
- The early warning signs of a great shopping mall and retail crash.
- Who owns a disproportionate number of retail businesses and sweatshops? You’ll never guess (hint, if you speak a Chinese dialect or Korean, you can write your own ticket down here).
- How to make an honest to goodness 1st World salary working for someone else (but it ain’t easy). A word about those high-paying executive and hi-tech 3rd World jobs listed in the back of the Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times, etc.
- Poor but fat; a sad Latin American irony. Probably the two worst 1st World exports to LA - obesity and diabetes.
- Why mayonnaise is the national Latin salsa, and margarine the national spread. Very unhealthy, yet they slather them on practically everything (like Americans and their ketchup).
- How and why the Latins switched from healthy natural coconut oil to cheap (and unhealthy) refined palm and corn oil (and now down here everything is infused with it).

Hello from the kinda first world...
I noticed you've got your social media hooked up. On facebook, I am trying to send a friend request. Which John Mueller are you. Still love your podcasts, I have four kids and five grand kids, so my travel time is somewhat limited. The last two are almost out, yeah!
Hi John,
I really enjoyed this broadcast as well as all the rest. Thanks for taking the time to out to share your experience with the Latin American experience. I go through the archives frequently, since it's all a treasure chest full of good and helpful information.
And thank you to all the other wonderful people at Progressive Radio Network for bringing this together and making it all happen. Keep up the beautiful work.
Best Regards,
Michael
