    To the US contingent on here - Bank/Dollars Question

    I'm travelling to the states in a few weeks and have approx. $5k USD in either $50 bills or marked/old $100s. Can I walk into any bank and change them for fresh benjamins?

    But I thought everything was okay.......

    Too many egotistical Argentines involved. Someone needs to swallow their pride and do what’s right for the country, not in their blood unfortunately.

    Villarruel breaks tie in Argentina’s Senate to approve Milei’s flagship Ley Bases

    I’m afraid the results of 70 years of protectionism are there for all to see. Name 3 Argentine companies that can compete on the world stage.

    Villarruel breaks tie in Argentina’s Senate to approve Milei’s flagship Ley Bases

    And yet workers here barely get a living wage? Have you seen the houses where most of the working class live? It might be all rosy mixing with the owners of such places I accept. Whose benefitting?

    Villarruel breaks tie in Argentina’s Senate to approve Milei’s flagship Ley Bases

    Of course there’ll be lots of losers from this principally Argentine home grown manufacturing. Let’s face it in terms of developing Argentina into country which is prosperous, protectionist policies have been an abject failure.

    Western Union money transfer

    I remember being in the same position a several years ago with the new 500 peso note down in Patagonia. Half the supermarket came out to take a look at it.

    IKEA delivery from Chile to Buenos Aires?

    As I understand it the import duty is 100% plus however much it costs to get it from Chile to Argentina plus fees. So I very much doubt it’s worth it. Maybe Milei needs to fly to Sweden to get us an IKEA here, but I guess the Swedes aren’t that stupid.

    What are the cultural aspects that make you stay in Argentina?

    Think you’ve got to be able to speak the language to enjoy the place to it’s fullest. I’d hazard a guess that those who only speak English are the first to want to up and leave.

    It was in a Romario in Recoleta, I don’t think the working class have ever been eating in there at least since the end of the 1:1.

    Food prices are amongst the highest of the planet

    I’ve just had a litre of stella, a porción of pizza and an empanada for $9.50. You would barely get half a litre of beer for that in the states? Especially with the outrageous tipping culture that pervades the place. But I hear the sky is falling.
