    SUBE Card - Transit More Expensive for Expats?

    But not close to the same to the ones living "en blanco". Well, I don't agree to that neither. Irregular immigrant status includes both people that need to come over to find work (like immigrant from adjacent countries ) that should, and rich people traveling the world for pleasure that...

    SUBE Card - Transit More Expensive for Expats?

    You have income taxes...you have property taxes... you have taxes at province level and even some at local level. There are a bunch of taxes here, the fact that you know nothing about them, doesn't make them disappear. That income tax you get discounted from your salary, is only a part of what...

    SUBE Card - Transit More Expensive for Expats?

    Well, you are not only rude but also ignorant. Non residents pay a low fraction of the total taxes that citizens and residents have to pay. I'd say you should research better before insulting someone.

    SUBE Card - Transit More Expensive for Expats?

    Well, that was totally uncalled for. And ignorant to boot. Everyone living here would be paying IVA at most (VAT). That's far from being the only tax residents and citizens have to pay. Non residents are NOT on equal footing and shouldn't expect the same benefits. You are lucky already that you...

    SUBE Card - Transit More Expensive for Expats?

    Well, those are different countries.Check for instance, public health services. Argentina is a totally different place to the US and the UK, if you didn't notice by now. And we are not just talking about first world/third world issues here. Even though I'd prefer the anonymous option too (I'm...

    SUBE Card - Transit More Expensive for Expats?

    Discounted and free fares are the help I'm talking about. You are contradicting yourself in the same paragraph. Most of the locals (working and with income) will be paying full fare. And if we do get some kind of a break vs non-residents, I feel its totally justified, as we do pay local taxes...

    SUBE Card - Transit More Expensive for Expats?

    If you need social security, you should stay at your home country, which is most likely much richer than Argentina. There's a lot of locals that deserve help before tourists and expats.

    SUBE Card - Transit More Expensive for Expats?

    I think you misunderstood the original post. Joemama was refering to the government using the card holder identity to give him/her a higher price per trip. The lower (current) price will only be kept for unemployed and low income families, it doesn't matter if you got a sube card. And also: I...

    Should we Brits be keeping a low profile?

    I'm debating the subject on another thread. I'm trying to keep it civilized, and would in no way expect the British to keep a low profile (about being British). On the other hand, if it was me I'd think twice about supporting the British side on the conflict, at least in public, if I don't want...

    The Iron Lady (La dama de hierro)

    From Argentina's point of view, the kelpers are nothing more than invaders on national territory. They have no say on the matter. The responsible ones that must deal with it is the country that has international voice for them. The British themselves are adamant about not even recognizing...

    The Iron Lady (La dama de hierro)

    Even if the british don't want to recognize there's a dispute, because the people they moved there don't want to stop being british,it doesn't change that the origin is far from clear and that there is in fact a dispute. One can only guess that the british don't want to discuss about it because...

    The Iron Lady (La dama de hierro)

    And of course, no mentions to the origin of the islands and how the british ended up there.... The point that the british always are sure to ignore and hide behind the supposed "self determination" of the invaders.

    internet on iphone prepago with PERSONAL

    I believe that if your plan is eligible, just using internet will activate the internet for 1 peso for the rest of the day. Of course, total traffic is not unlimited nor is the fastest service, but will do for most basic things.

    Is it all that bad? Please say it isn't!

    The issue is very important to people who fell victim to it, so they obviously feel very strongly about it (from their point of view, its a 100% thing). People that didn't have any problem with safety, probably don't feel as strongly and this end up shaping the discussions (between people that...
