    Another Great Conspiracy Theory

    I've heard that same rumour, under the circumstances described in the article, from military friends some years ago. It's too easy to exhume the body to attribute his demise to heart attack or otherwise for the true cause of death to be hidden though. Conspiracy theory most likely, yes.

    Election In A Nutshell

    Collective touch of the left nut sac and a sigh from the Scioli camp. I've found it strange Kirchnerism attacks Macri over neoliberalism and for being a business owner. Menem was/is diehard PJ like most of Cristina's troop and do Hotesur's profits all get sent to the poor? I just woke up from...

    Election In A Nutshell

    I feel like an idiot now for predicting an outright win from Scioli last Sunday, mollified somewhat by anticipating Vidal's win, but somehow I didn't connect the two. I've given up trying to patterns or make any calls on what will happen next.

    Fresh Milk And What They Put In It.

    I was reading something, somewhere, that said that by law these chemicals must be added to milk in Argentina. Edit: I think it is just powdered milk in this case. http://www.alimentosargentinos.gob.ar/HomeAlimentos/Nutricion/fichaspdf/Ficha_34_fortificadosEnriquecidos.pdf

    Brazilian Real, Argentina Peso And Rmb

    Look to the borders if you want to see what the peso is really worth. It's been trading there for around 18-20 for the last 12 months.

    Need A Doctor In Palermo

    Nope, I went in asking to see a Urologist ASAP and was directed to the back of the ground floor where they have an emergency walk-in urologist clinic. I took a number and was seen quite smartish. I then settled it with my Swiss Medical.

    Apt. Rentals 2009-2015 Por Barrio In Caba Bs.as,

    24 month rental prices have actually increased a lot in dollar terms in the last 3 years after many years of previous stability.

    Apt. Rentals 2009-2015 Por Barrio In Caba Bs.as,

    I noticed (felt) the 300% increase in PH rental price in Palermo between 2012 - 2014. It seems so unfair to those of us unable to finance a home purchase. Yet we continue to pay these higher rents. I think inflation has distorted or perception of value.

    Smallworld, Azimo, Etc.

    Sounds like the Argentine government or AFIP may be demanding that from the money transfer services, no? Did you ask Smallworld if it was exclusive to Argentina? You should try using a VPN or Hola unblocker to change your IP address to the UK and see if that works.

    Buenos Aires Herald

    Well to be honest, I wasn't really swayed by anyone's argument until ARbound mentioned the reporting on Anibal, on which I then googled last month's Herald articles and his point seemed quite valid. But it is too a boy-on-the-burning-deck capitulation. I'd like to think that I can read any...
