The people are fucking flakes, don't count on anyone for anything. When i decided to build my house i called several excavators to come out and do some work, at the time i lived 2 hours away from where i was building and i explained to the people that if they couldn't make it to please call me. What do you think happened? I drove for 2 hours and waited and waited and no one showed up. When i finally got a hold of the first guy he tells me he need to go grocery shopping thats why he didn't come
I was so pissed off i told the asshole off. The second guy i called didn't show or bother to call either. when i called him he said he had another job to do, when i asked why he didn't call he told me it he had no obligation to let me know he wasn't coming to do the job then he told me he would be out in a few days to which i told him i had no obligation to hire him and i hung up. Finaly on my 3rd try i got someone to do the job
You might think this is just one incident but its not the same kind of thing happened when i tried to get a contractor to pour my foundation. 4 no shows one total ripoff and then finally someone to do the job. Its not just the construction industry.
When i moved here i had to rent a house and i would call people make appointments and these people wouldn't show up to show the rental property. I got every excuse in the book. Not one had the decency to call me back and say they were not coming.
I decided to sell my car and buy a jeep, this was a mistake. I put an add on craigslist and on autotrader. i started getting calls people would set up appointments and not show up i think 1 in 30 showed. I sold cars back in Miami Florida and i would get at least 4 in 5 show but here no one was showing or calling to cancel. I finally had a US Marine from California call me he was visiting and saw my add he not only showed up he was early and had cash in hand. Go Marines!
This is the way it is here in New Mexico, people are lazy they dont want to work they dont have the decency to call when they are not going to show and if they tell you they will finish in manana. Manana means morning but it doesn't mean it will be tomorrow morning it could be in a few days or even a week

Everything in New Mexico is gold!
Thats right its all gold! People here in New Mexico think their shit is gold, doesn't matter what it is its worth a fortune.
Every time i searched the news paper or craigslist people here a selling used garbage some times at what you could buy the items for new, its horrible. I started looking for a tractor, i bought the local papers and checked craigslist, it seemed to me that the prices were really high so i started checking my neighboring states and i found the same equipment for half the price. I went to auctions and it was just as bad there tractors were selling for double what i saw them for in other states. Its not like there is a shortage of tractors in this state, there has to be one or 2 in every field most rotting in to the ground from lack of use. Its Gold! I think these people have been out in the sun to long.
Even when you go to the flea market/swap meet the prices are outrageous. People drag shit out of fields and want a damn fortune for it. I went to a flea market and just happened to be standing there while a guy was talking to someone selling a chain saw, The guy wanted to know the price he was told the chain saw had a blown/frozen motor and that it would cost $70 but for $120 the guy could free up the engine. He didnt say make it run he said free it up for $120!
Forget saving money shopping at the the thrift stores, you might as well go buy new clothes the prices are so high. Some thrift stores even go through the clothes and remove any brand name clothing and price it even higher. They also raise the price according to size.
There is something really wrong with the people in this state.

First post for new mexico sucks
I created this blog to inform people of what to expect when they visit New Mexico and the mentality of the people in this state. New Mexico has some beautiful places to live but having to deal with all the lazy stupid people that live here will drive you insane.
The schools here suck they have been rated as some of the worst in the country, they are over run with gang bangers and illiterate kids.
The crime rate here is horrible for a state with such a small population. Every single day i turn on the news to see some one has been murdered. Whole neighborhoods are vandalized car windows broken, tires slashed. Meth labs are every where there are several busts every week. Car theft is rampant.
What i haven't told you is most of the problems above are caused by illegal aliens who crossed the border from Mexico. They come here murder, rape, steal, and smuggle drugs. The state does nothing at all to stop them at the border. Thats because the governor here is Mexican. He even lets these criminals who came in to this country illegally get drivers license no questions asked.
If you decide to visit here know that the people here are delusional. If it has been done they did it here and did it better, everything here is newer, better, more original and more innovative than any where else in the country. If it was just invented they invented it 20 years ago. If there was a natural disaster they had one here and it was worse. A good example of this would be the news comparing a few houses getting flooded with a few inches of water during heavy rains to hurricane Katrina.
