Money, sex, and lack thereof

This is a couple-of-chapters story on the consequences of weird economical and moral precepts taken to some extreme. Story happens in Mexico.

A couple of facts first.

Mexico is 110 million people living on something like 4 Frances or 6 Germanies or half the EU. It's HDI (human development index) places it between the Bahamas and Costa Rica, or between Latvia and Bulgaria if we stick to European countries. Way above Russia, Brazil or Turkey, if you're more familiar with those.

Does advertising make an asshole out of you?

I'm an avid user of the web and, on my own terminals, I have set up ad blockers. They efficiently filter out most of the advertising that websites throw at me.

But it happens that I have to surf through a terminal belonging to some recreational computer user that makes use of Microsoft or Apple products and that has no ad filter set up. Surfing through an ad-sensitive terminal affects my productivity and pisses me off significantly.
