getting the screws put on me

My experience is in no way a criticism or indictment of how governmental officials conduct themselves or their responsibility. It is important to recognize and be prepared to deal with the great degree of "informality" here, such that viewed broadly in all its manifestations, becomes a genuine second economy, off-the-grid, without documentation, regulation, taxation. Some estimate its total value would equal about 25% of the formal Mexican GDP. Not sure how you budget that, as it can have costs and benefits, but wanted to pass that on. Welcome and good luck with that new business.
