Drug companies in Argentina make 1000% profit (one thousand percent) on many medicines. God knows how much they make in the US! And then they want to raise prices. Some things are not mere consumer goods, and health is one of them.

I never said that the state should pay for a 40 million dollar treatment, I said that charging a ton of money, most of which is profit, is immoral. The state can choose to ration health care or look for more economical treatments. In the case of going to the dentist, the state can limit dentist...

In BsAs there is no gay district, and many clubs are "gay friendly" or "hetero friendly" but not exclusive to one sexual orrientation. That doesn´t mean that you can´t find such places, but in my opinion there are not as many as in major US cities and overall the gay community is pretty...

all this reminds me of my parents. When they divorced my mom, who is Jewish, called my dad a n---r because he is of Italian origin, and it is like so close to being black, you know you "can see Africa for italy". My father called all Jews a bunch of cheating as----s. I felt very bad because both...

Racial profiling, anyone?

yes, that would be immoral. The state should provide health care for all, regardless of their level of income. Just as the state provides police officers, public schools, fire fighters, roads, street lights, etc. I don´t want some people to live because they are rich, and some to die because...

there are certain things that I just wouldn´t do in BsAs that I would do in other places: 1) buy and drive around in a new car, or somewhat new car, even if it isn´t expensive. We drive a 1990 traffic work vehicle that is rusty. No one is going to steal it as there is no demand for parts. And...

to decide between your life and paying 40000USD is immoral to me. Health isn´t any consumer good, so it is very easy for companies to charge too much. If you had to sell your house or die, what would you choose?

Ties don´t make sense, they were invented to cover up bottons so that victorian women wouldn´t get sexually arroused (they would also cover up the feet of chairs). Time to get rid of it. Whenever I watch "House of Cards" I can´t believe how up tight and overdressed the politicians are in the USA.

keep in mind that what is published in a lot of websites/newspapers is not what is actually being paid, sometimes these rates are risen for politicla reasons (for example, they will do one sell of 100USD at 15 to 1, so when the newspaper calls they can say that, even though with everyone else...

This is not a K ininitaitive, and the opposition all voted for it. I don´t get the extra day they are taking off on Monday. . .

I actually offered a bribe when I first got here to get by visa. Employee started screaming, in English "what do you think we are, a banana republic!!!!!!!!!???!!!" made things worse. The worse thing you can do is go arround offering one, you would probably need an intermediary. And all said in...

Between $8000 and $12000 pesos a month including everything to live ok, more than that and you would be living quite well for a single person.

Its not easy to bribe people. This is not to say that there are no bribes, but you can´t go and just offer one in immigrations or in many other places.

I have been able to find some nice offices in the microcentro and small apartments, but they are few and far between. My guess is that it would be a sale of someone who needs cash dollar ASAP.

Not a holiday! Just found out that it is a free day for all public workers, not teachers. For some reason this Monday this office is also taking off as a free day. El Ministerio de Educación aclaró el feriado previsto por el Día del Empleado Público no alcanza al personal docente...

I just called a public office to do a "tramite" (paperwork). They told me that to come today, as Friday is a holiday and Monday is a free day for public employees. ?????????????? First time I heard about this, is this true?
