Weird substitutions are taking place in some cases, like the GE light bulbs from Mexico a friend spotted at a local retailer in Boston. People in border states have seen this since the start of the pandemic. I remember the first time that the only toilet paper available in Kroger was all Mexican brands. I suspect that Mexican companies can make more money shipping goods to the U.S. than selling them locally. I also wonder if the demand from the north had made shortages in Mexico worse.
