Argentina: a household employee making A$2000/hour (2usd) needs 7500 hrs of work to buy a Fiat Cronos Uruguay: same employee makes U$150 (4usd) needs 4500 hrs to buy a similar car (Chevrolet Onyx) USA: at the lowish 15usd/hr, a worker needs just 1700hrs of work to buy a Nissan Sentra Viva Peron!

Peanuts. 400mill over 5 years is less than 0.1% of Arg's imports.

I brought a couple of well used bikes...they were boxed, I did not have any paperwork for them. I did not have any problem at Ezeiza, they just asked me what they were and that was it, they did not open the boxes. I did not have to pay anything

Funny what you say about PC not reaching Argentina, when the first line in the article says "Las rusas (y los rusos)..." a play on words on the usual gender "equality" PC that has taken over the spanish language in Argentina. But OK, guess you are fine with that. What bothers me in the tittle...

I find the title of the piece ("las rusas...") simply repugnant

nah...Maverick did the same...not a big deal

We can discuss Alberto's "inheritance" over good wine. But unlucky he was not: soybean prices dipped notably during Macri's tenure and recovered during Alberto's. And BTW...during De la Rua time soybean was at about 400-500 usd/bushel...

disagree. At least for symbolism-sake, I think is good that as elected president he finishes his mandate. And no, I am not surprised at all. Not only his chances were nill, also he has little real power left.

hahaaaaaa Pagina 12, what do you expect? Peron and Pinochet Peron and Stroessner and not to mention he was budy-budy with the Generalisimo Franco himself and when he came back he pulled the rug under the constitutionally elected Campora, and suported Lopez Rega's Triple-A carnage, etc etc...

in this solidly middle class area of Caballito BA there are four (4) Airbnb rentals...yeah
