    Can Milei evolve from disruptor to political leader?

    I think it’ll be to the wire if Peru and Colombia were anything to go by. It’s not exactly libertad for everyone here yet is it. The salaries did fly in dollars as he promised, but they tanked in pesos.

    Can Milei evolve from disruptor to political leader?

    No. Milei is effective when attacking, he is a good disruptor, and a strong performer - but he is not a statesman and lacks pragmatism. His performance in the election campaign will be totally different now he has to defend rather than attack. The biggest thing going for him is the lack of...

    Betting pool for Adorni's resignation

    He’s got dirt on Milei. I bet this money he has comes from the $Libra scandal. Milei and his sister in on it. And to think they were the “anticasta” party.

    Seguro de Caución w/ foreign income or new job

    Respaldar worked for us in similar circumstances but not all inmobiliarias accept. You’d then need to use their website to find ones that do - it’s all a mafia.

    Vaca Muerta will demand more than 40,000 additional workers

    Tucuman is missing from the map - and this was published by the government

    Trump's favourite populist followed his playbook. It's gone wrong.

    The other thing to watch out for is what the opposition will do to destabilise Milei. Look at what’s happening in Bolivia. That could easily happen here. Similar things have happened in the past. And who knows. I firmly believe business could turn on Milei, if they haven’t already. Just...

    Trump's favourite populist followed his playbook. It's gone wrong.

    It’ll be interesting to see what happens next. 18 months till the election. The only thing playing in Milei’s favour is the heavily divided opposition.

    Can I enter Paraguay with my DNI as US citizen?

    I’ve crossed to Brazil and UY many times with my DNI, but always with my passport in my back pocket just in case. Only once had an issue, which was in Colonia in 2018, but that was when I had temporary one and they asked to see my passport which I had with me. Personally, I wouldn’t risk it...

    I am traumatized every time I go to the supermarket

    you can get cheaper, but it’s a full time job comparing prices and lots buying in bulk. Taking advantage of special offers. Compare rates on Rappi/PedidsYa (same price as supermarkets). If you work full time like me and have hobbies etc after works, it’s INCREDIBLY hard eating well and at a...

    The decline of domestic tourism in Argentina

    AlwaysGym on Guatemala. It now costs 60k per month when you pay the full year upfront in 3 cuotas, cash obviously. That promo gets you 5 months free, so I guess a month would be around 100k+ (too tired to do the maths) with "pay as you go". Back in Nove 2023, when I signed up for th first time...

    The decline of domestic tourism in Argentina

    But is there really that much money stashed away? Walking around Palermo is bleak these days, the amount of commercial places with the shutters down and ALQUILA sign up is crazy. I can also work out comfortably at 6/7/8pm in the gym now as it’s dead. Previously those hours were horrendous. We...

    The decline of domestic tourism in Argentina

    We went to Mendoza in October last year and Iguazu at Easter, and regretted it both times. My other half earns in pesos, so we have a local view of prices - and travelling in Argentina is pricey for what you get, especially in ARS. More than anything eating. In Iguazu, you’ll spend at least...

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    😅😅😅😅😅 There’s just such a juxtaposition between the cultured-looking journalist and the plate of, frankly, child’s food.

    I lived in a country which hit 193% inflation

    I know of this guy from an social/meetup group — it’s worth adding he was here pre-Milei and then left when inflation started hitting those who earn in foreign currencies.
