I think you should trust your Argentine friends and come down for 6 months (get the extension at immigration) to get an idea. From what you say I think you'd like it, and speaking spanish goes a long way, since people love to talk. It reminds me of NYC back in the 90s, when you would run into a...

I'll swing by

My guess: they know these things will be struck down, but for a couple years they enjoy a power their office doesn't normally permit. Think of all those people Trump sent to El Salvador. Are they still there? People affected by Milei's DNU the past year aren't getting compensated; If they...

"This job destruction is due to a shrinking economy. The latest figure from Fundar think tank warns that 26,448 companies have closed down between March, 2023 and the same month this year when 2,011 enterprises were shuttered. “That figure contrasts with the fall of 257 firms registered in the...

If Argentina is somehow (mysteriously) racially homogeneous, that's *positive* news to some folks. Eric Weinstein is a Peter Thiel crony, currently visiting Argentina. He gushed in an interview that it's "more European than Europe", after their recent waves of migration. 😉 Wink wink

"Para argentinos y residentes en el país que no vivan en territorio porteño, la entrada general tendrá un valor de $9.871. A los extranjeros se les cobrará $19.741 y si son menores de 12 años, $15.793." In case you were wondering. Not a trifling amount, but a strangely specific one jajaja

I will attend

Wednesday is also half price day at the Palermo Cinemark. Since I'm a goy, I may treat myself to some fried chicken at the mall and an estadunidense movie some time... Get it all over with at once 😜😆

Oh no I meant the other guy with the numbered lists. He seemed quite specific about the exact ways in which he *wasn't* using it... I always appreciated the human-ness of this forum, but it may be no place is free of 'robot text'. So you wouldn't want your own children to have access, if they...

My friend in new York ran a research lab and one Of his assistants ordered too many rats. He tried to talk me into adopting one and said the were a genetic type bred for friendliness. Who knew you could order different personalities? I thought about it a few minutes before remembering I had a...

So you're not using AI at all in these responses?

Is this AI assisted writing? It's so weird to me to have the numbers embedded in 'list form' within a paragraph (as in your first paragraph). Or is that a punctuation style borrowed from another country, or was this auto translated, or dictated? What's you process here? Just curious, it may just...

Aren't most foreign students from Mercosur countries? I thought it was trivial for them to become residents. Or would you make it free only for citizens? I personally don't think the free universities are the cause of the failed economy, but on Reddit there was a spate of anti-university posts...

In the period Argentina has gone from economic powerhouse to 'quilombo', China has gone the opposite way. I thought they'd restrict informal employment and tax evasion but...it seems 50% of China's economy is informal too? That surprised me.

I noticed the timing on that as well.
