America should agree to merge with Mexico. It would be more powerful than anyone has imagined.

It would make sense for North America to harmonize more standards to create an bigger economic community between CA, MX and USA.

For example I came across a situation recently where someone want to export a few year old Mercedes vehicle from Canada to USA, and it was impossible as the standards were not harmonized, and the manufacturer would not certify the vehicle as meeting the USA standards.

Texas’ proximity to Mexico is a dream for both. Cheap, clean energy, an abundance of workers, and a stable trading partner.

Yeah there’s been a ton of growth in Monterrey, it feels very new and modern like all the development in Austin. I’m very optimistic about northeast Mexico.

Monterrey is a very impressive city. San Pedro feels basically indistinguishable from California at a quick glance.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

In English, singular "America" normally refers to the United States of America, not the entire western hemisphere.

Indeed, if you wanted to refer to MEX, CAN + USA as one entity you would use “North America”. But America is colloquially understood to mean USA

North American Alliance has a ring to it like the European Union.

Demographics-wise it makes sense that Mexico passed South Korea and Australia. And long-term it's projected Mexico will get up to 7th place by 2050. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/these-will-be-th...

Healthiest demographics of any major nation on earth. Mexico will be fundamental to North American security, stability, and prosperity through the 21st century.

It also means the entire _Continent_ your take is pretty US-centric

Cheap/clean energy and Texas don’t seem to line up. They have an oil and natural gas monopoly that goes all the way up to their elected officials. It’s literally why they had that massive grid failure. It wasn’t a capacity issue it was just greed.

Texas produces the most wind power and the second most solar power of any American state. The most recent power shortage in September was caused by low evening winds; the US DoE responded by allowing Texas to temporarily exceed emissions limits from their gas plants: https://www.ercot.com/about/legal/doe202c

"North America" is the continent the USA is on, and South America is a neighboring continent. There is no continent called "America" alone.
