2 years ago, when I was looking, I did not find anything like these, either on Mercado Libre or in barrio chino. Could be just my luck, but I think there is a better selection at lower prices now that the economy has crashed.

I am looking globally at the percentage of government income in various tax categories. The Nordic countries all have higher percentages of their income in personal income taxes, and in corporate taxes. As does the USA, as does Japan, for example. I am sure if you looked globally, you could find...

I actually think like Democrats and Republicans in the USA until the mid 80s. Eisenhower, for example. My own Republican Governor in Washington State in the 70s, Dan Evans. For the first ten years or so of my life, the top US bracket was 90%, and I saw it drop to 70%, then 50%, then 38%. And I...

the 78% tax is exactly what I think Argentina should do on lithium, petroleum, and copper exports. Oil always needs new investment. The current program of upgrades in the Norwegian fields, announced this year, is a half a billion dollars. Norway DOES have progressive taxes. Argentina does not...

The Norwegians are taxing the natural resource extraction companies 78%, not 25%. And Norwegian income tax rates for people making approx $27,000 or less are 1.7%. the Argentine tax system already disproportionately taxes the poor. The VAT tax is quite high, double Japan or the equivalent state...

I would recommend that Milei look at the way Norway taxes the companies it lets do raw materials extraction- Norway Corporate - Taxes on corporate income Last reviewed - 23 January 2024 A Norwegian resident company is, as a starting point, subject to corporate income tax (CIT) on its worldwide...

You completely miss my two points- 1- the reason Argentine exports are so low is because every stage of the process has been made difficult and expensive by government regulation. The government has gotten fat and lazy relying on the extremely regressive and job killing export taxes. Most of the...

And we should not neglect Pur Sang, which makes the best, and only, 1927 Bugatti replicas. They already export, of course. https://pursangargentina.com/

A couple more industries, each with clusters of factories, that are ripe for export- Transformadores- beyond making the little ones to convert your 110volt blender, Argentina has a decades long history of making Large Transformers, to power factories, neighborhoods, and to build rural and urban...

I can think of dozens of companies that exist today in Argentina that could be exporting lots more. Several already export, but due to the ridiculous taxes and rules for export, they have had to be very resourceful in doing so. Darto is a company that exports 1 piece stamped steel frying pans...

you guys can argue about median vs mean. My point remains- the GDP is not describing the income of the average working person. Most of the wealth in the GDP, here, there and everywhere, goes to people like Musk and Bezos. And in Argentina, raw material extraction would have the same effect as...

the fact that poor people exist, which is obviously true, does not justify getting rid of more jobs and making more people poorer. the argentine economy actually has a lot of manufacturing, and most of it is exportable if the government would support it. Turkey is a good example of a country...

I could not agree less. Having worked in and around manufacturing for 40 years, I can see what the post capitalist import laws have done to US manufacturing- and its not a pretty picture. Argentina is still very strong in all kinds of manufacturing, and its mostly done pretty well about keeping...

If you add up all the protests since December, you are talking millions of people. Many that I know are college professors, lawyers, doctors, journalists, and government administrators. So, yeah, there is no doubt in my mind that some have read the full text.

well that will certainly create jobs, lower inflation, and help small businesses, right? he is a teenager. Only teenagers grow out of it.

Marta is the greatest...

One of my favorite cultural activities in Argentina is riding in buses. I have been doing it for 15 years. I love looking out the window, I love the people watching, I have been all over BA including to places like Remedio de Escalada, or Avellenada, Flores, Nunez, Boedo, VillaDevoto, Paternal...

LA population- approx 3.7 million. BA population- approx 3 million LA homeless count as of earlier this year- 46,000 in the City, 75,000 in the County...

I have always thought that villas were a brilliant, if incomplete, answer. Allowing people to build their own home, without permits or rules or even land ownership, works. 130,000 plus people in BA live in Villas who otherwise would be sleeping on the street. Obviously real public housing is a...

Buenos Aires and Los Angeles have very close to the same population. LA has ten times as many homeless people.
