LOL, please tell me you're serious so I can laugh harder. Also, speak louder, the Colombian students I know who asked cops for directions and were subsequently racially profiled can't hear you, same with the Native Americans (both Argentine and other South American) still trying to get out of...

I haven't heard of many services that let people send funds from ol' Rossiya, especially after the US/EU sanctions. If it was a si o si situation I'd do what a lot of Russians do, buy BTC with RUB then sell the BTC here in Argentina for Pesos at the "BTC Blue" rate (the only BTC rate). That's...

Like others said, if you've got thousands to spend on soccer tickets for your vacation but you're going to use the resources meant for the poor you're part of the problem. The article also mentions how Argies are trying to stiff cabbies and shop owners to round down. Yet there's this: Asked...

It's different here, which is good and bad. I used to live in the Village in Toronto because it was close to work and downtown, but the nice thing is here, like in Northern Europe, there really isn't a gayborhood because we don't have issues living among straight people and being prone to...

There are people that believe this yes, but I would say that 95% of the people that dislike/hate her do it because of every reason except her being a woman. Misogyny exists everywhere, but let's not forget that Argentina had Isabel Peron (only female president, even if she is evil) where the...

Yes, I'll agree with the first point but if by elect you mean the free sandwiches and $50 ARS (somewhere around that) then I'd hardly call that democratic.

Oh please, It's a propaganda country. Haven't you been on the highway, downtown, seen the commercials during Futbol Para Todos breaks, etc? I didn't know the honorable Chairman Maduro was a member of BAExpats. The only thing I hate more than fascists is people who are fascists who claim to...

Seriously though... What is the point of this post? To say you saw 3 guys dressed in Middle Eastern clothing at an airport and it made you uncomfortable? Imagine how they felt with the strange Western guy staring at them when all they were trying to do is get their bags. I know some members are...

Joe, you're missing what I always tell my friends! Not yet! In Canada at gunpoint once. It wasn't fun, don't recommend it

See, times are tough, but that's not always why people steal here and a majority of the time it's not people lifting Joe Shmo's iPhone to feed their kids choripan or they'll starve. A lot of the theft is committed strategically by groups because 1 phone pays a bit more than I make working 4 45...

Argentina is now first world like Britain? Seriously, this is just a waste of time, several news anchors have mentioned already (as we all should know) that VPNs and Proxies can be used to get by it. If people didn't know about TPB before they do now and they also know how to get past the...

Rich One, you should know by now that economics 101 doesn't apply to anything oficial here let alone the black/blue market ;)

QE won't do anything for Argentina. Although Argentina's only saving grace must come from abroad it's not going to be in the form of QE. Best hope is to declare war on Germany and surrender on the condition that Frau Merkel runs the show.

I think we've already established that a country doesn't get to just get rid of the debt because the leader(s) responsible for it were terrible people or criminals. We'd only have a couple trillion if that was the case and the Chinese would be pissed. It's closing time ladies and gentlemen...

Like I said in the other thread, if I could sell Argentine stocks (since you can't do it with a country really) short I would right now. My money is on things slowly slipping towards chaos again. Argentina is surviving on borrowed time and borrowed money.

Thought is different from fact, and the fact is whether you like Xtina or not, she has used Aerolineas and other means to funnel USD in to her accounts via the family's Patagonia hotels. I know this is a common thing in this part of the world, and isn't exclusive to her, but you can't escape...

Yeah, Peronist analysts. Argentina's biggest problem is a lack of confidence. Everyone on this board wants Argentina to do well, but the majority (supermajority if I remember correctly)does not believe the country will do well or trusts the leadership at municipal, provincial and especially...

I think a lot of people are sympathetic to Argentina. I don't know anyone who hasn't found themselves/friends/loved ones in Bankruptcy, damn close to it, or recovering from it. However, the way Argentina handled it wasn't very humble as has been said. The important thing we need to address from...

Now now, you guys know better than putting words in other's mouths. If I wasn't so lazy I'd go back and quote myself saying I'm sympathetic to Argentina and don't think the holdouts deserve anything, but anyways, my point is that he has the power to determine find a amicable resolution to the...
