Why would the Argentine Central Bank host an exhibit for a technology that is designed to kill central banks. I wonder if this might have been inspired by Milei's meetings with El Salvador's Bukele. I hope to go to this exhibit and ask as to why they would do it. Bukele seems to be on the verge...

What's your secret for negotiating a better exchange rate at Western Union?

With the incompetent and corrupt government in the USA, it only makes sense that the Argentine peso will continue to gain ground against the US dollar.

This morning I went to the money exchange here in Las Canitas and did a USDT-Tether transfer in under 5 minutes and got ARG$ 107,500 for US$100. In order to get $ARG 107,750 this morning from Western Union, I would need US$114.05. So you pay 14% more for the hassle of using Western Union.

It's more like someone who's addicted to heroin (inflation) and has a pusher who keeps raising the dose (Alberto/CFK) who is finally saved by a responsible doctor (you know who) and weans the patient back to health. It's a little naive to expect that the withdrawal is going to be painless.

Maybe because under Alberto's tenure, inflation rose. Under Milei's tenure, inflation has fallen.

So there is an office you can go to without going through disembarkation security? Would I just ask for the "Migraciones" office? in Aeroparque.

I never want to take a red-eye flight in economy for the rest of my life, so I'm considering taking a cruise back to the USA in January. The cost is not much more than a business class ticket. I'm worried about not making it through immigration for overstaying. Does anyone know if the cruise...

Apparently the YouTuber had a sign that said something to the effect "Cry Lefties". This apparently was enough to provoke a violent reaction. After the article is a video of the violent leftists chasing the young man down the street. Trigger Warning! https://24hoursworlds.com/sports/830594/

It seems incredible to me that Pol Pot killed 25% of the Cambodian people in the 1970s. I'm always open to new research on any historical matter - maybe it was less, maybe 20% or maybe even more 30%, Communists after all are very efficient exterminators. But in any case, I'm always open to...

Things are being questioned?!?!?!? OMG!!!! The Elites only tell us the truth and have our best interest in their big hearts. Questioning them could be hurtful.

I ran out of $100 dollar bills and had to use WU. I transferred $500 on Oct 3. I got a message from WU saying it would be ready on Oct 9th. My bank two days later said the transfer had been completed. Then WU at the end of the day Oct 9th said it was ready to pick up. My recollection from my...

My dentist got back to me about payment options. If they really take Tether (USDT) I'll be very happy. Why 21% tax on foreign credit card...
