Ámbito is reporting that most banks aren't selling dollars "until they can adapt to the new BCRA rules", so one would expect the rate to be much more volatile once people start being allowed to buy. Gold stars to the brave expat who goes to an ATM to withdraw cash to see what the rate is.

There are a couple of issues here: 1. Personally, my default position with any incoming government-- especially one with which I tend to be more aligned ideologically-- is extreme skepticism. They are now in power so the burden of proof is on them to show they can put their money where their...

Re: Macri vs CFK Best day of my life was when i learned i didn't need to be a Barça fan to hate Real Madrid. Just sayin'

From the Perfil article cited by Dennisr (trans. mine): "We stop doing the Resistance Marches when the enemy is no longer in the Government House. Néstor was our friend, therefore we stopped. But now that the enemy has returned we march on Friday the 11th. When he comes to the Government House...

Wait so CFK and Moria Casán are not the same person? Live and learn.

Old news. There were already major protests across the country on Sunday in defence of the Media Law, but plenty more sure to come. http://www.perfil.co...51214-0049.html For some reason they never made it into Clarín or TN.

Sanz still backs him. "El presidente hizo lo que tenía que hacer" or in other words: https://youtu.be/mDiCDuS4Hgg

I agree. Why don't we all switch sides for a change: - Bajo shall now start posting on how CFK's decrees were dictatorial, but Macri's are necessary. - Nico shall now start arguing in favor of fiscal expansion via choripan distribution. - Camberiù shall now start arguing in favour of...

I agree with Ejcot: you people seem to misunderstand the site rules. You may choose from either of the following positions: A. Macri good/CFK bad or B. CFK good/Macri bad Please stop confusing us with doubts viz. ( A ) and ( B ).

"when voter turnout is low the establishment wins elections" As opposed to when they haven't won elections? And no the "grassroots movement" is not about getting out the vote, as is clearly demonstrated by Sanders' repeated references to FDR. When FDR embarked upon the New Deal he himself said...

Voter turnout is terrible in the US for one reason: realism. Voters rightly understand that their participation in the current political system has no value if they are not big time financial contributors. Kudos to your boy Bernie for saying it's not about an election, but rather about building...

It would be nice for TV Pública not to change with each new regime and not to act as the voice of whichever philosophy happens to be in power. I have no issue with opinions I don't like being on the public airways. But what was sorely missing under the Ks is balance. Killing 6,7,8 would shine...

Rich, again you're mixing up fiscal policy with monetary policy. I just explained the difference between the two. No sovereign government needs foreign currency to finance its deficit.

This is mixing apples and oranges-- Bonds issued by the government are paid in pesos, which the Argentine government (as a sovereign currency issuer) can control. They are thus mainly a function of fiscal policy. Reserves, on the other hand, are in foreign currency or assets that the Argentine...

This is nothing short of pure GOLPISMO. The 1st Lady's Wardrobe was democratically elected by 51.34% of voters and duly inaugurated in the Casa Rosada and the Congress. As a foreigner you may not be aware of what Argentina suffered from 1976-83 under the wardrobe of Primera Dama de facto Lyda...

OK its not BA, but we live near the Registro Civil in Salta (admittedly one of the country's more 'conservative' cities) and on a regular basis we see same-sex couples going in to get hitched. So much so that a few businesses downtown have taken to advertising their services for "...bautismos...

OK since tomorrow's the Big Day, I'll resurrect this one and have a go: 7 Things I'd like to see changed: __________________________ 1. No more of the K's sweetheart deals for environmental/economic rapists like Chevron and Monsanto. End the corporate welfare. (likelihood: 0/10) 2. More...

For additional help La Liga de La Leche also has a group in Palermo* and maybe others elsewhere in GBA: http://www.ligadelaleche.org.ar/grupos-de-apoyo/buenos-aires *note: my info is as of 2012

We got evicted from our cave in a swamp. We had to go live in a lake.
