We used to be the most fertile climate for business. Now? We rank low

going through. Look at the permitting required for a lot of business.
10-15 different agencies with conflicting requirements. We have lost
the edge. And I do not see with the present politicians from both sides
of the aisle that we have a clue on how to fix it.

Huh? The World Bank ranks us #4 on Ease of Doing Business, and by the
way, Mexico is ranked #55.

Ease of doing business and starting and running a business are 2 different
items.
