    Down, down, down (a peso devaluation thread)

    Agree. Moreover, guilt by association has been frowned on for a long time. Did I make silly personal comments about you? Are you attibuting the text of the linked article to me? Good for you. Stay strong in your convictions.

    Down, down, down (a peso devaluation thread)

    Steve, Criticizing Obama because of his contemporary association with Ayers is tantamount to condemning the colonists who fought along side of George Washingon as left wing commie terrorists. It is not persuasive. The passage of time has altered our perspective on the matter. What you should...

    Restaurant Recommendation wanted.

    First post and you slam Pura Tierra without so much as describing a single dish. You wouldn't be a colleague or alter ego of takeoverBA by any chance? If so, and I suspect that is the case, it demonstrates that takeoverBA is not the kind of person I want to do business with. Incredible.

    Eating on a budget

    It's a combination of cake and milanesas as in "Let them eat cake" and "milanesas para todo."

    Down, down, down (a peso devaluation thread)

    What is loony about the Tea Party? The raison d'etre of the TP is taxation and it is that central plank that is loony. The TP position on taxation is absurd. The tax rates in the US, especially for the wealthy and large income earners, are among of the lowest of all industrialized nations. US...

    Spectacular Hi-Tec PH For 1YR Rent in Palermo Soho

    This is the first reference to the per diem cost of a room at the Alvear Palace in this thread. The implication is that it is valid evidence that the 9000/mo price for a year house rental is not unreasonable. By my reading you were the first to bring up the price of a room at the Alvear Palace...

    Spectacular Hi-Tec PH For 1YR Rent in Palermo Soho

    The OP stated that term of the 9000/mo house was for one year. So travelers (tourists) who will rent a 9000/mo house for one year don't bother to shop around? Is that it? And the house isn't necessarily a bad deal because a room at the Alvear Palace is 382/night. Is that also it?

    Spectacular Hi-Tec PH For 1YR Rent in Palermo Soho

    I'm confused. The person who first "brought" (up) the daily rate of the Alvear Palace was jb5. Be that as it may, the OP stated that the house rental was for a one year term. Even if you want to refer to the house tenant as a "tourist" it makes absolutely no sense to try to justify as reasonable...

    What's a good price for a dinner?

    This is a trick question. I'm willing to pay all of these amounts but with each price increment I expect a proportionate quality increment. FWIW I will share a development that I've been experiencing in my dining out lifetime. Bear in mind that I am a senior and have been eating at...
