VERY true, Bajo! Obviously, none of those things are true now...

What do I need in order to call an 877 number from Argentina?

Got it saved, thank you so very much! I also saved the address and mailing instructions. I should have been able to figure out on my own that the link would be to a copy, but I suppose we all have our slow days...

Guido, thank you so very much! This is a load off my mind to be sure But this part puzzles me a bit, "If you do not receive the forms by November, please fill a copy of the form and mail it to the FBU in Buenos Aires" If we haven't received the form, where do we get a copy of the form?

It looks like the Blue dollar has closed the day at 1280. Go, dollar, go!

So here we are beginning the second week of July, and still nobody has received their form? I'm beginning to think GuidoAnselmi's concerns about DOGE "complicating" things at the Social Security Administration are actually the case.

Excellent analysis, very well written. One thing, though. In your final paragraph, you say "we're barely 2 years in to their mandate". Are you sure about that? Milei became president on December 10 of 2023. I make that a year and a half ago,. not two years.

Happy 4th to you too, if somewhat belated, heh.

The fact that they get so very angry and indignant at any criticism says a lot also.

ouch

Now you're talking sense. At the point in 2001 when it all came apart, Argentina owed the IMF 100 billion USD. Which means they've played this game before, so they have to know how it ends. Somebody wants Argentina as a failed state.

They promised the IMF they wouldn't intervene directly by selling dollars, like Macri did. This meddling in the futures market is their way of getting around that pesky little promise.

1946 million is 1.9 billion, that's a LOT of moolah to be slinging around. And Milei just vetoed legislation that had passed Congress to help the victims of the terrible flood in Bahia Blanca. That seems to me like a strange set of priorities. As in, obsession level. What on earth are they...

Ceasefire confirmed https://www.rt.com/news/620403-israel-iran-ceasefire-announce/ Now, we'll see how long it lasts.

PressTV Live has just read out an announcement from Iranian FM Abbas Aragchi saying that for now there is no agreement, but "if Israel stops attacking us, Iran won't retaliate further." So, no agreement, but willingness at least from the Iranian side to have one.
