you seem to think there is actually a plan. And that the current government is competent enough, and has enough control over the congress, its ministries, and government employees, to implement a plan. And that a plan by Milei would in any way affect the $7.5 Trillion dollar daily Foreign...

I read the article as saying your DOLLAR buys more in chile. Which makes sense, because anyone with enough savings to drive to chile and buy laptops and game consoles will keep their cash in dollars. They specifically say the woman had 1100 dollars and bought a $620 computer.

again- who cares what Michael Tracey thinks? I looked him up, he supported that cult loon, Tulsi Gabbard. I am sure my opinion, that I am enthused to vote for Harris (again) is equally meaningless to you.

currently at 84 airports, scheduled to be installed at 400. I am not sure what "trust" means in the context of the federal government. Will a cop shoot me if he is nervous? quite possibly. In the US police kill at least 500 people a year. Will the FBI seek me out as a terrorist? almost...

"tolerate"? I have been a member for years now, and I find it at least vaguely sensible, as opposed to making every traveller take off his shoes because one guy, 20 years ago, failed to make a shoe bomb.... I LOVE global access. Its available to everybody, its run by the government and it...

why would I want to watch youtube videos of various idiots who just want to be "influencers" and have no knowledge or pretty much anything. I lived in California for over a decade. Its the 4th largest economy in the world. And Kamala, when she was a california government employee, was a...

I love the facial recognition. No line, I walk right thru, while 200 paranoid wingnuts wait for a half hour. Global access and facial recognition make coming back to the USA just a tad less like a police state. Argentines take my photo every time I enter and leave. The USA has photos of me for...

Its also quite illuminating to look at the official records for presidential pardons, and compare Trump with Biden. Biden, mostly drug convictions by unknown, not rich people. https://www.justice.gov/pardon/pardons-granted-president-joseph-biden-2021-present Trump- an amazingly large...

You dont have to be a lawyer to read the news. (Although both my parents were attorneys and my mother was a judge for most of her life, so I probably speak more legalese than most) Its not technical information nor does it require a JD to know that Clarence Thomas added a curious and off topic...

I thought Aileen Cannon just declared all special prosecutors unconstitutional, cause Clarence Thomas told her she could. That means Hunter doesnt need a pardon, he gets the same get out of jail free card as Trump, right? (Hunter Biden actually is bringing this up to his court right now, but I...

milei has no party, no friends, no deputados, and no power. he talks big, but, in reality, he cant get anything done. the people with the votes in congresso dont want any of the stuff he talks about, so it isnt happening. seems pretty simple to me. he has been able to get a few executive orders...

In rio platenese, I believe that its pronounced "Shitter in Chief". It starts with an X now, not a T.

Its never been cheap. Poor people dont take the ferry, they take the bus. Every time I go on Buquebus, the cars are all giant SUVs and Mercedes. The ferries are for the wealthy, and they can still pay, to go to their houses in Punta. The rent for a week in high season in Jose Ignacio is still...

220,000 pesos divided by 16 is 13750 per unit. my AySa bill for last month was 23,000 pesos, double yours. we have only 5 units, but we each get our own bill. I have a residence in Washington State, and the water bill is about $140USD a month. thats what- 200,000 pesos or so right now...

Out of 15 million people in greater Buenos Aires about 50,000 are foreign students, and only half are in university programs, but that includes the ones who pay to attend private schools as well as the public universities. Nationwide the percentage of students who are foreign in universities is...

Who said that? Not me. What I said is that, so far, milei’s firings have not impacted many of the no show jobs, most of which, from what I can find out are in the provinces.

When people talk about "unnecessarily employed people"- I always wonder- have you ever met, or talked to, any of these people? I know a fair amount of people who have lost jobs, or had hours cut, as a result of Milei cuts. In terms of outright firing, I dont think he fired very many people. He...

most likely if you call a bank, rather than just drop in, you could arrange it. these days not all branches would have that much in cash without advance notice. I mean, they have cash, but not an extra 5k for a non-customer. but yes, it totally would be easier if you had an account. Do you have...

I find it interesting that Milei says the way to cut inflation is to remove all tariffs on imports, and Trump says the way to cut inflation is to institute universal tariffs on all imports.

obviously "managed" is the critical word here. Argentina can choose to manage, or choose to give away the store.
