Because public money can also be *viral* (but without SAT retweets)
Ah, the magic of mornings: where government announcements compete for attention with memes in the *feed*. Today, Claudia Sheinbaum —yes, the one who has the record of resisting the most uncomfortable questions without losing her smile— dropped the bomb: one trillion pesos for Wellness Programs in 2026. Yes, you read that right: one BILLION. Almost what an apartment in Polanco costs… but to help 33 million people. *Minor details*.
The numbers that will make your banking app cry
Between coffees and PowerPoint slides, the president detailed that this year 836 billion pesos were already spent (yes, 82% of Mexican families received something, even if it was a “thank you for participating” sticker). But by 2026, the budget will rise 100 billion more. That is, 3 points of GDP—or the equivalent of 500,000 Bad Bunny concerts in the Zócalo. Of course, with the difference that here they *will* reach people’s hands (in theory).
“It’s Mexican humanism,” Sheinbaum declared, as we all nodded as if we knew exactly what that means. Among the star programs: support for primary school girls and boys (so that they do not spend their scholarships on *Fortnite*) and Women’s Wellbeing, which is basically *girl power* converted into a bank transfer. Of course, everything without intermediaries, because as your aunt would say on WhatsApp: “what belongs to the people, to the people.”
The ironic icing on the cake? That these supports are already constitutional rights. That is, they are not *gifts*, they are like the *DLC* that you already paid for when you were born in Mexico. And who dares to argue with the Constitution? (Aside from the *haters* on Twitter, of course).
And now what? (Spoiler: it’s not *like* and that’s it)
While economists debate whether this is *sustainable* or just a temporary *boom* (like NFTs), the networks are on fire: will the money reach those who need it most? Or will it get lost in the black hole of bureaucracy? *Stay tuned*. For now, if you are excited by the idea that the social budget has more zeros than your account statement, share this note and tag that friend who always says: “And where will the money come from?”.
