They sing of thee

21 January 2010

How come nobody sings about Carlos Slim?

Right now he’s seeking to merge his three phone companies and expand into the lucrative cable and data business, and depending on the federal government to “liquidate” potential competitors, the biggest having been SME, the Mexico City area electrical utility, which controlled access to data cables.

Think he’d be at least as song-worthy to Sinaloa’s best known captain of industry (ok, pirate-chief of industry) who has also been depending on the federal government to liquidate HIS rivals.  But, then, Carlos hasn’t escaped from the slammer and headed for the hills, the way Chapo did on 19 January 2001, turning him into song-worthy material.
