I think it has a lot to do with NEW MEXICO
Not to be mean, but I used to live in Albuquerque and I feel like that slowness and lack of commitment is just part of the local culture. Moving from NM back to MN was like a shock, here everything is done much more efficiently and in a much more organized manner. Don't get me wrong, I love NEW MEXICO and visit it frequently, but the people can be a little too laid back and very unorganized
