Other than the millions of illegal aliens walking across the US southern border, everyone entering and leaving the USA is accounted for by USCBP. Your being there, stamp or no stamp, is simply quantified as the difference between your date of entry and your date of your departure. Countries...

The IMF is wise to do this. Friction during high level negotiations concerning money occurs frequently. The experts here in international contract negotiations might recall that Paul Singer of Elliot Management was taking former Argentina Minister of the Economy, Axel Kicilloff, to the cleaners...

Uh, well, I was actually quoting from a book. Written by someone else. Perónism, Kirchnerism..... pick your flavor of socialism. If it walks like a duck, looks like a duck and quacks like a duck.... it's not that difficult of a concept. As anyone who voted for Milei will likely explain. Or, on a...

If you can afford to do so, why don't you buy the book and find out? You and 'redlobster' can read it together. And then if you're still confused, go down to the Casa Rosada and talk to anyone who voted for Milei. It's always amusing how gringos go to another country and think that they know...

Argue the point with Perón; not me. He specifically used the words "Marxist philosophy"; not me. Why you are conflating Norway; which is part of Europe, with the subject of this thread, Argentina; which is in South America, is beyond me. Post hoc ergo propter hoc. Why reading comprehension is so...

Red, I am afraid that Juan Perón himself argued otherwise; "Perón consistently emphasized that the roots of his ideology are based on Catholic doctrine as well as socialism; around the end of his second term, Perón argued: 'We believe that there are only two philosophies in the world that can...

Precisely. While it's easy to sit back, whine and criticize, it's significantly harder to be faced with making unpleasant decisions, to lead. In a financial and economic sense, Milei now emulates Hercules' fifth labor of cleaning out the Augean stables. And I wish him well, because the cancer...

No, I don't compare Argentina to Bangladesh. Because Bangladesh only has an annual rate of inflation somewhere around 12%. Not sorry if the truth hurts. Elections have consequences.

Imagine that, living in a third world country and the trains are decrepit? Socialism dies hard. At least here people aren't being pushed from the platforms into oncoming trains by NYC psychopaths. As my Argie friends always say about disgruntled gringos..... there are multiple flights every...

"My point is, unless you are involved in things like import-export, the gap is relatively unimportant." That is nonsense. A local builder buys the materials and labor in pesos; not dollars and then integrates those peso costs into the (likely) dollar denominated total cost.

The Yale School of Medicine disagrees with you and cites a study by the American Cancer Society. What to Know About Rising Rates of 'Early-Onset' Cancer Cancer diagnoses in people younger than 50 are on the rise. Yale experts are recognizing a need for more research and personalized care...

You are correct.

The reason why is explained here: https://www.americansabroad.org/mutual_fund_restrictions#:~:text=Because%20foreign%20jurisdictions%20are%20unable,back%20in%20the%20United%20States

"They can still see that you're coming from a VPN provider, even if your IP address resolves to the US." Not if the VPN is routed through a proxy i.e. Shadowsocks or a SOCKS5 proxy.

I use Fidelity Investments, which I have used for many years before expatriating. My restrictions are limited to (a.) not being able to invest in mutual funds and (b.) not receiving advice from Fidelity staff. Neither of which I care about. I call them only for administrative account issues. If...
