Paternal started getting ultra hip a couple of years ago. I agree with the author that there are a lot of great places to eat in chacarita and villa crespo.

I am sure you are right its now nominally five hundred dollars.

as far as I can tell, the only "new rule" that is actually going to happen, is, by December, the PAIS duty on imports will drop from 17.5% to 7.5%. This has not happened yet. This duty is mainly for wholesale quantities of product shipped thru ports. This is NOT the duty charged on personal...

Finally, last night, I was in the catacombs under Teatro Colon, in a small performance space that seats about 100, to see Axel Krygier's "Opera" La Pendula. It will only be playing tonight thru Sunday, and I dont know if there are tickets, but its pretty amazing. Its based on cassettes his Great...

Then, a week later, I saw a much more experimental, but just as entertaining show at a very different venue. Plant Inclan is a performance space in Parque Patricios that books poetry, dance, theater, music, and performance. Its funky and cheap and they serve drinks and papas fritas, and its a...

I have been back in BA for a couple of weeks now, but havent had time to see much music- lots of household chores, organisation, and long distance work to do. I was going to see the free outdoor Mutek Festival show at the Planeterium, but it got cancelled at the last minute due to technical...

For-ex is a six trillion dollars a DAY industry. If you think actual business needs that volume to buy and sell real goods, well, I have a bridge for you to buy. Most for-ex trading is speculative, what I would call gambling. And its based on there never being a realistic value. A very...

Depends on how big and expensive it is. I have brought in a 2' x 2' x 2' box with a $3500 sewing machine in it, they asked, what is this, I told them, they waved me thru. Generally speaking, they are looking for specific things- drugs, weapons, wholesale quantities of phones or computers, large...

depends. there are over 100. For modern art, Mamba and Malba, and Bellas Artes. I always take people to the Museo Xul Solar, which is a small beautiful museum dedicated to one artist. I like the train museum behind Retiro Station, but I am a metal guy. The Museo del Bicentenario, behind the Casa...

So even though things have doubled in priceunder his reign, we are supposed to applaud that the prices in the future will go up at a slightly slower rate? The 73% of the population who live on 500,000 pesos or less per month are no doubt overcome with happiness.

In fifteen years, never had an issue with customs, or been asked to fill out a single declaration. While obviously for personal use and not resale, I have brought in sewing machines,kitchen appliances, audio gear and dj equipment, tools, computers, a guitar amp, a sous vide, furniture , ( small...

Your link has zero info about how they arrive at this result. But here is a similar study, which shows, as I said, that Argentina is better than russia, most oasia, most of africa, and a broad swath of the middle east. Also, the US ranking would seem to ignoepre what I call corruption-...

I disagree. I have seen much worse "corruption" in other places- I have friends in NYC who did construction who had to bribe many people to do pretty much anything, from building inspectors to traffic cops. Had friends in Chicago who routinely bribed cops to not give tickets- one friend of mine...

this is not a tax treaty. Its a one time release of some information, in a law enforcement effort to track money laundering. A tax treaty, such as Argentina has with over 2 dozen countries, and the US has with close to 50 countries, means that each country will acknowledge the taxes paid in the...

I have been paying ABL for 17 years. It is a tax that pays for street cleaning sewers and garbage. None of it goes to the general fund of the city. Certainly there is no comparison to actual property tax in a place like NYC, which, again, makes up over 40% of the cities revenue. Abl here is...

I agree with almost all of this- except- the Chinese are usurious lenders who have ended up screwing a lot of third world countries. They insist on using Chinese companies to build the facilities they are investing in, and repatriate profits at a very rapid clip. And the Russians are broke and...

I have starlink in the USA, in a rural location. Its great for that, but in the city, not so great. You need rooftop access to install the dish, and, of course, its valuable, so prone to theft, unless the rooftop is secure. You need clear sightlines- and only find out exactly in which direction...

Its obvious that to actually fix the economy, the first step is tax reform. The current government income from taxes actually collected (as opposed to nominal taxes that exist on the books but no one pays) is extremely weird, and regressive. currently the big majority of government income comes...

Narda is a famous argentine chef, with several restaurants. she makes a variety of sauces that are carried by various stores, and on mercado libre. and her restaurants are all good. Especially the flagship, Narda, which is near Barrio Chino. https://www.instagram.com/nardacomedor/?hl=en

But they are still going to exchange all their billions of US paper currency for pesos, and prove Milei was right all along!
