I’m coming back from miami on Monday next week. Maybe I bring back 25 cans of OFF and just sell them for a small and reasonable mark up ?! Probably cheap at Walmart !
WU rejected my last two transfers to Banco Santander. So now I’m just paying the $40 usd international transfer fee from Chase and jumping through Santander hoops. Ugh.
I worked for American Airlines 37 years. Typically the airlines all have interline agreements offering discounts for other airlines’ employees. Aerolíneas Argentina is one of the only ones who offers no discounts to other airline employees not in their SkyTeam network.
Aerolíneas literally...
It’s pretty clear to me that the Peronists are just so deeply ingrained in most all forms of business, unions, city government, etc from CABA and beyond. Hard to make inroads there. Milei has to speak clearly and with concrete plans without just screaming about the K factor. Can’t just scare...
Have not posted in a while or followed much so forgive me if this has been mentioned before. Very interesting report.

I love rants and raves and this thread. Thanks nlaruccia:) I find it refreshing and exhausting in public though. Refreshing in that it gives life to the mundane. Exhausting in that it is energy depleting and non solution oriented. What I find most annoying is just a lack of discretion and not...
Sadly, I find that so much of "la viveza criolla" appeals to all of our "darker sides" a bit in our need for some kind vengeance or retaliation in how to "one up" another person for our own advantage. While I have many Argentine friends who would "like" to be ethical and transparent in business...
I have worked for American Airlines for almost 30 years and have never seen this happen in any market. We just got this internal memo about flights between Venezuela and the USA. Could Cristina do this here out of spite?:)
For those who fly to Venezuela.
We have been informed by AA management...
Hi! If anyone really gets in a bind with getting documents or smaller items to the US quickly, I work for the airlines out of Miami and am in BA once a week for a day. I get a 75% discount on Fedex. Sometimes, people give me things in BA to ship out of Miami. I pass the Fedex discount on to...
Have been dealing with this country for about 20 years now off and on. The best advice I really ever got was from a very astute and intellectual Argentine psychotherapist here who just said to me two things when I expressed my frustration with this place: 1) This is not a serious country. 1)...
Very complex subject. Interesting. Nutshell after 15 years of "dealing with these people (Argentines): Few people want to take personal responsibility about much in business, government, relationships, etc. It is usually someone else's fault. Very immature on many levels. A young democracy...
Obviously not politically correct but there are some relative truths here. I am astounded sometimes at some of my Porteno friends who (generally when angry) will say, "Los Negros de mierda". These kinds of things may be THOUGHT in the USA but are generally not actually expressed out loud. But...
American Develops Resort to Share the Argentina He Loves
From today's New York Times. I guess some wealthy investors are not afraid of property laws. Definitely for the "high end" consumer. Good luck with all of that:)...
For me the credibility of the article really is about the credibility of the World Justice Project----not the US embassy in BA or even the US government. Now if the US government is funding the World Justice Project who did this study, well, that is another matter. Consider the source!
