FYI, I don't have anything under my Argentine address for this exact reason. Banks are not friendly to citizens residing outside the country. Are they willing to send the replacement debit card to a canadian address? You could open a virtual mailing address in Canada. Have you inquired if...

Argei, please amplify the way you are typing here. It's very difficult to understand the situation fully when you write your responses like a text message. "Started recently phoning ,,, they told me the bank approved me to open a new savings acct and redirected me to a different number to call...

Howdy Argei, There's a lot of missing info here. Did you maintain a balance in the account or did you leave it at zero? If your cards are expired, what address did the renewal cards go to? Have you tried talking to customer service on how to unblock your account? Surely, they will tell you...

Do you pay for a prepaga? Swiss Medical, for example, has an internal virtual consultation request within it's phone application.

Howdy Rob, IMO, the quality of the doctor is much more important than the language. What I suggest is to first find a doctor that's highly recommended and then hire one of a hundred different interpreters that can help you with the language barrier. It's a small cost for a much more valuable result.

That's a big yawn from me. If you can't do the time, don't commit the crime. 14 is plenty old enough to understand consequences. We're talking about teens that have committed murder and torture pensioners for fun. I'd rather have the money go to universities and pubic hospitals than a juvenile...

It's an excellent point - radicalization of the youth through gang recruitment is certainly a risk to evaluate. One of the interesting points in this new law is the civil penalties parents can now incur through damages incurred by the offending minor. Personally, I think it was a necessary...

Howdy Carride, Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I actually met Raul at his coffee shop a couple years ago. Business had dropped after Milei's devaluation and he sadly had to close it down. He told me he was planning to move to Puerto Rico with his wife and then I never saw him again...

"...eight out of 10 adolescents had accessed, or knew someone who had accessed, online betting websites or apps during the previous year. Forty percent had never discussed the issue at home." "...a Swedish study of 2,099 people diagnosed with gambling disorder found that suicide mortality was...

I hear you, but I personally think the opposite is true. The government's books are opaque and your road taxes disappear into a million different places. Nobody in particular is accountable. Heck, Vialidad doesn't even exist anymore. A private company whose only job is that highway is most...

I wouldn't mind a toll in Neuquen if they actually fixed the damn rutas. The 151 through Catriel looks like a mortar shelled warzone. https://www.facebook.com/RadioGenesis25/videos/-ruta-nacional-151-un-desastre-que-ya-no-se-puede-ocultarno-hay-descripci%C3%B3n-que-/1441228064520612/ There...

So you're implying that if it has a tracking number Aduana, Correo or the last mile delivery company will hesitate stealing it?

Milei cares about salary priced in dollars. The people care about salary priced in local purchasing power. Argentina, like many other countries right now, is experiencing an affordability crisis. Milei acted quickly to accomplish his mandate, but he overcompensated. Even just a modicum of...

You lost me. A more favorable USD rate will reduce costs for expats earning in dollars. This economy divorced itself a long time ago from pricing items against the blue-rate, as evidenced by an IPC far in excess of dollar appreciation.

Excellent point. When you see these sensational headlines politicians throw around like the new natural gas port in Golfo San Matías that will produce 20,000 jobs, this is just for the initial construction phase. Where it does create jobs is in peripheral towns that need to supply workers during...
