I guess it's only for apartments but I thought the AySa bill was supposed to be covered in the building fees from now on? Also, a 400% isn't too bad if you were paying ~30 ARS like I was, still higher than inflation though, but we all know the whole thing with subsidies has been on the chopping...

AMIA not terrorism, but R.R. Donnelley shutting down is and warrants full investigation.

Hmmm, that sucks. I estimate I handled about 79,000 ARS while in Arge, mainly in $100s and I'm gonna guess I got some fake ones but never actually noticed/wherever I spent them did. I was talking with my friend/roommate's friend and we were debating the ethics of him getting rid of fake...

B2B sales are going to be tough, the company I worked for literally waited until MS pulled the plug on XP to put 7 on machines/buy new ones and that is cheap compared to buying servers, networking supplies, etc, and it was a company based in the EU, so I can only imagine what it's like Arge...

I was thinking the same thing, sometimes the chance for profit isn't worth all the headache associated with the BS that is Argentina's government, I may think banks are generally bad but what's worse is a country where the government can make laws via a newspaper posting, try having to abide by...

Capitalism isn't the end all and be all though, it's not infallible and is plagued with issues, massive inequality, the rape and pillaging of Earth, and unsustainable growth/consumption. Is living in a shack better than living in a cave? Damn right, but it's still not as nice as living in a...

Don't like Kale comrades, it's PB. (Petite bourgeoisie)

Where is our resident Camporaistas cheering for the natural arrival in Argentina?

I had my bag inspected after landing at AEP on a TAM flight from SAO, seemed odd but I went full gringo, she eyed the MacBook (which I did end up selling, even though that wasn't the plan) I kept saying its mine, not for sale, EYS MEE-OH NO ES NEW-VO. It worked, I'd say honestly take your...

I was on a bus to Parque Chacabuco/Flores once and the bus we were in tried passing a young guy in a wheel chair and his mom at the stop, even though it is a kneeling bus, and when people complained he stopped and backed up to the stop, only to not bother after the curb didn't line up with the...

Yes, be careful with maps, I can't count the number of times I've had a Pueyrredon and Pueyrredon situation. It's quite crazy to imagine telling someone to go to Main Street and Main Street, but planning, forward thinking, etc. were never an Argie strong suit to begin with :P

I wish I could find someone stupid enough to short the ARS, but most people wouldn't, you just need to google it to see it's been declining since Kirchnerism came in to effect.

Using an Argentine debit card abroad and buying gift cards/prepaid visas/master cards, it's the best rate you'll get.

I'm starting to wonder if Cristina is the world's biggest troll. Is she just doing this for the laughs? I honestly think she must be or is too stupid to see how bad things are, which is worse at this point? Does it matter? Any who, it happened, new record! $14,00!

I just went to view an apt I'm considering renting and it is owned by a Brazilian and her and I were talking about Arge and it reminds me of what I miss and don't. I told her about last nights speech and today's dolar blue price and those are good reminders why for me it wasn't working. I think...

My friends and I were in Potosi and Uyuni and I got Bolivianos out of the ATMs but had no issue trading them for USD inside or at exchange houses. If you're in Uyuni, go to the main drag and look for the Bolivan state owned bank, if you go in with your ID and a US debit visa or mc you can ask...

I think this is one of the key steps of good governance, regardless of your politics, conservative, liberal, socialist, nationalist, etc. Existential Political Philosophy's most common question is "What is the role of the State?" Different politics leads to different answers, but the common...

I still comment too, just because we're abroad doesn't mean we don't have connections to Arge. A couple friends are still there and my cats (my roommate and I raised them from street kittens) so I worry about their (yes, including the cats) quality of life and such. General interest/shock also...

Like I said before, it's Cristina's world, we just live in it...
