But people have been extremely reductionist on the conflict, everyone from people in this thread to our jetsetting president. And if you read what I had said, you'd see that I agree with you, this was a strategic blunder (besides it being immoral and illegal) as it played directly in to the...

I always knew the caste was the nearly 2 million Argentines earning the SMVyM, not the LLA Senators earning 8 Million pesos a month; VVLC!

Hey, No worries, process is still the same a year later, shocking, I know, Milei didn't bring about the dollarization (and I still have doubts as to whether he ever will) but anyways, my advice would be WU Canada ---> pesos ---> dollars on Florida Street, and send as many you can now for your...

The answer is simple as others have said: dólar planchado + high inflation + only 2% devaluation a month = growing need for pesos, it's not rocket surgery Bloomberg ;)

Canada has blood on it's hands too, it makes and exports military equipment for Saudi Arabia (it's 2nd largest export market, you know, that bastion of freedom and democracy) plus it's mining companies are second perhaps only to Australia's in terms of poisoning and killing indigenous...

I seriously doubt it, and it would only be purchasing your pesos back if you had sold them via a legal, registered currency exchange/bank, it was properly logged with your passport, you retained the receipt, and I assume you had an even number of dollars for pay out in $100s. If your plan was...

I saw one of these Amazon stores in California last month, and while it works for snacks and such, as Frank said, it's no stand in for a regular supermarket. Can it replace some Dia or Carrefour expresses? Sure, especially those next to office towers that close at like 18:00, but my POV has...

The invasion of Ukraine is a violation of their sovereignty and illegal under international law, but let's not pretend Ukraine is anything other than a kleptocracy; the worst parts of Argentina on steroids, things that would make even Cristina blush. Western countries like to act as if Ukraine...

That's definitely in our national interest, making weapons so more young men can kill each other for two crypto fascist kleptocracies. This war has been great for the Military Industrial Complex, so I guess why not get in on the dollars for death scheme?

I think the city is pretty as others have said. I live near 9 de Julio which some may see as a curse given the noise and chaos, but I like it because I'm only a minute or two away from the Jacaranda turning everything purple in the spring, and Silk Floss trees teeming with flowers in the summer...

$9.50 is 9.34 hours of work at the minimum wage in Argentina, or 0.63 hours in LA County; it's apples and oranges as cheap is again, a relative concept as you must compare it to income. If we're talking about Argentina's COL only from the POV of wealthy expats and retirees with pensions in...

I'm pretty sure an entire town would notice if their mail wasn't being delivered :rolleyes:

Is there fat to trim? You bet! (start with 8 trips abroad and 8 million peso LLA senator salaries to begin with maybe?) but there are some very basic things that the state should have/provide, and a post office in a rural patagonian community is one of them. Also, I also refuse to believe they...

Ah yes, the lluvia de inversiones that will surely come, for anyone that remember's Macri's term...

Oh, I'm not surprised Red, I just think it's funny he couldn't even let the grift wait a year or so, and is in the US as we speak rubbing shoulders with billionaires who will never invest here. Here are just a few things he could do, many in a libertarian vein that I don't even agree with per...

They also jacked up the rates to parks too, Iguazu now costs 35K for foreigners, same as the Grand Canyon, and the infrastructure at PN Iguazu isn't anywhere close.

Even uglier than I thought 😅

When I got in a taxi after Milei’s arena performance, its elderly driver, José, asked if I had been inside. “Is now really the right time for a show?” he grumbled. “He wants to be famous around the world, but his feet aren’t touching the ground.” As we've been saying, he doesn't want to be...
