Seeing Milei celebrate and call a guy from the IMF a commie was, well, another demonstration of Milei's economic literacy and intelligence let's say...

I've been once when my MIL had an appointment at Hospital Aleman. It was fine IMO, she liked it, though nobody got pancakes.

Ignoring all the other points that are debatable themselves, this here is one of many reasons why it's hard to take defenses of Milei seriously: who raised the impuesto pais in the first place?

I don't know anyone who has been successfully targeted by the black widow scam, but I've noticed reports of it increasing, and Jan's post from the Embassy suggests that it's not just empirical accounts either. The targets of scams seem to all be the same: young, single, males thinking with the...

Milei supporters are the kind of people I expect to find this news, and confirms my point that they are either trolling, believe this in bad faith, or don't know what socialism is as Argentina has never had a socialist president, and while this shouldn't be news, for those confused, we have had...

Oh no, you're not ignored Red, we just have different points of view sometimes, I don't believe you're motivated by malicious intent the way some people are.

These people are just trolls. I've ignored (we can't block, so they still comment on my posts and get mad when I don't engage) a number of members who simply shitpost, engage in bad faith arguments, or are poorly educated. If people earnestly think Argentina was ever socialist, that it's a...

LOL. Now that's wishcasting. Akin to a balding man assuring his wife that his hair is falling out so new hair will take it's place. I'm guessing it's due to everything being so expensive compared to wages, and people having to spend their saved dollars to pay taxes/cost of living/etc. like...

You're not going to find McCormick branded ones, but as SinPulgas said, you can find generic ones. I bought mine at Jumbo.

Inflation disproportionately effect the poor but income inequality even more so. Look at Buenos Aires, a few miles from Puerto Madero which has a higher HDI than most countries on Earth and you're in Villa 31 where that Armenian guy got killed for his bicycle.

Sure, you can remote control a tablet or laptop in the US to use as a proxy to access US baking/financial institutions, but you could also just buy a dedicated US proxy and spoof your GPS or disable it too from here. I use a VPN to US specific streaming online, but have personally never had any...

DMing you some advice

This is also a good suggestion, my friend got his cats via the person who found them listing them on a poster at the pet store, and I saw some at our vet's recently.

La Matanza, well, self explanatory these days

Your best bet honestly is to find someone here (both on the forum or in Argentina) who needs pesos or dollars. I imagine if you haven't already, you're going to get someone DMing you wanting to give you USD in the US, in exchange for your USD or pesos here. You help each other out this way...

I'm sorry to hear of Rocky's passing, we have 4 cats, and they may be small, but they make a big impact in our lives. 😿 We adopted ours as street kittens from near my mother in law's place in Zona Sur. There are several groups on Facebook of neighbors who find street cats/kittens that need...

That's quite the euphemism... for forum members who aren't aware, following NATO's bombing campaign of Libya in 2011 and the coup against Gaddafi, Libya has basically become a failed state and there are multiple factions fighting over control of the country (Government of National Unity and the...

You know it's bad when Diarco is offering a "Dolar Diarco" to get people to come shopping: https://www.diarco.com.ar/dolardiarco/. it's a pretty good deal all things considered though given you can make puré by buying MEP dollars. I'm going to the US soon and will be filling my suitcase with...

If they get an ITIN from the IRS, it will be much easier for them to open an account from the get go. As Lunar said, they'll need to go in person to a branch most likely, and it's important to know that their account info will be shared w/AFIP per the US-Argentine financial sharing treaty Massa...

Correct, it was repealed this year, but was the prevailing law previously. As I said, I'm not an accountant nor a lawyer, and yes, AFIP is more interested in getting people pay something via being monotribuistas than be fully en negro, but the issue I'd caution you and others with, which your...
