Donald Trump had a lifelong habit that worked very well for him: sue everybody that contested him. Given that he had deeper pockets than his perceived enemies, they would traditional fold and he would get away with whatever he did wrong, once more. It's a very effective strategy.

Sorry to hear about your issue. It's bad. I suggest you contact a friend or other in Argentina and have them inquire for you. Here's the experience I had with Cablevision. I live half the year in BA and half in the States. To suspend my internet service while not in Argentina, I could not call...

What you just wrote makes a lot of sense. Thank you.

The journalist who went to the radio to report his vaccination success has been accused in the past of working two sides at the same time. I believe he was part of Montoneros in the 70s, but saved his neck by providing inside information to the Massera regime. Why did he disclose this...

We were stopped once in Houston on a flight to BA, as my wife and I were walking thru the jetway or boarding bridge, and taken to a small office. We had to declare how much cash we had, and then they made us empty all our pockets, and they searched our carry-ons, etc. They counted all the money...

General information: I have a friend in Switzerland that was tested for covid a few days ago. The next day he got a text message saying he was positive and should quarantine. Then, he got several phone calls to make sure he was quarantine, and later two police officers came to his apartment to...

My wife and I are also getting our second vaccine of Pfizer on Feb. 18 in the USA. What is not clear yet is we will be still required to perform a CRP test or will showing the vaccination card enough? Any clues? For others, the vaccine process in California, where we took it, was amazing. Super...

If all those things are needed, then Vaca Muerta is really DEAD.

All the above are correct, except that Argentina has no dollars to import natural gas or oil (and it needs both because so far it's not self-sufficient in either commodity), so it has a huge incentive to figure out how to make Vaca Muerta came alive. If I were Cristina, I would be trying to...

Florence asked "we are wondering is what life might be like when we get there." I also have the same question, but part of the answer, I think, lies on what you like to do when in BA. On the one extreme, you can continue the typical life of USA: go to bed every night at 10 pm, get up early, make...

There is one more factor, I believe. If you are an immigrant, as much as you can blend in, you will most likely always be an outsider. When I was thinking of retirement or where to spend half a year away from California, I thought Spain, Mexico, France. Quickly I came to a conclusion: I did not...

A few years ago, when I was evaluating retirement, I read several books on the subject. One asked a question: where’s home? One thinks of ones house, neighborhood, that is, ones comfort zone. Right? The author then asked where was home for nomadic people? They would move all the time, so home...

I am not an escribano or real estate agent, but my first question is: who has title to the property?. Title is critical everywhere but a far bigger headache in Argentina. If you own the property, that is, title is in your name and with the same name you use wherever you find yourself, things...

I lived, basically, my first 25 years in Argentina. The last 46 in California, where i pursued and achieved most of my major dreams. I spend now 4 to 6 months in Argentina but i would i doubt i would live there permanently. Its the lack of progress, social disorder, avivadas, customer service...

I was very annoyed and upset when i read the article in Clarin. These terrible women even publicizing their immorality. I have a 95 year old client in a senior retirement community in California. She has paid income taxes forever and continues to pay, and yet no one in her community has yet been...

It's sickening to read about what those two Argentine women did. Worse yet, they have to publicize it to glorify themselves. Stupid women. Typical "avivada" Argentina.

Why should anyone who was not directly affected by covid, like restaurant workers, etc get $1,200? Retirees got it, citizens living abroad got it, and so on.

Ok. I won’t complain. Thank you for making me realize i got a great deal! And i thought California was expensive!

You are very right. In California, lots of trades are performed by Mexicans and I never cease to be amazed at how hard they work, and how good their work is.

I had a broken water sprinkler line in my yard. To find and repair the leak, the gardener dug a four feet long trench, about 2 feet deep, and repaired the PVC pipe. Finally, covered again with the mud he dug. Work took about 5 hours, between going to buy the parts, etc. How much would that have...
