Sure she's improving plenty.....if you call Argentina's slide toward becoming a dangerous, corrupt, bankrupt and repressive quasi-failed state like Venezuela an improvement.

K-Apoligists drank the Koolaid long ago. They are therefore incapable, like true believers everywhere throughout history, of having any awareness outside the rigid dogmas of official K doctrine. Argentina has become an Orwellian/Kafkaesque joke. Suerte chicos.

Argentina is an Orwellian/Kafkaesque joke to everyone except the K Koolaid drinkers.

“But I don’t want to go among mad people!" Alice remarked. "Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat. "We’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad." "How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.” -Lewis Carroll, "Alice in Wonderland" Perfect...

That's why I call her "Chistina". Current events in BA is like good stand up.

Under the guidance of her whimsical majesty the Red Queen, (as in "Off with their heads!") Argentina is fast becoming just another Venezuelanized third world shit-hole. I have no use for it. Cost benefit analysis impelled me to get out for good about 5 months ago. In my opinion the roots of...

I agree Camberiu, Brazilians also have their faults, of course, as do we all, and some of them are the same as Argentines' (no surprise...they are both latin cultures after all). And yet my experience of the cultural tone and emotional ambiance of Brazil contrasts starkly with what I found...

"At the end of it all, it is not one economic system or another that results in economies not doing so swell. It is the government, and the people. It is the culture that is followed by these people." First, thanks Nico. Well said. For me it's the last sentence of your post that gets to the...
