    Price of meat will skyrocket

    In CABA, at least, the word fila is rare. The vast majority use the word cola.

    Price of meat will skyrocket

    I'm well aware of what they're doing with the other dollars, yes, and I understand that it has an impact on the blue. None of them exist in a vacuum. But there's no conspiracy here. The government has been very clear and straightforward about what it's doing, in contrast to the Kirchnerista...

    Price of meat will skyrocket

    I didn't suggest that the dollar/peso exchange rate was being controlled. Nor was it being controlled in that moment, beyond what has been declared as the clear intention of the government, as is the case now. I referred myself to the blue rate. Can you offer any proof that the blue rate is...

    Blue exchange rejected $100 question

    The idea is that you deposit the "unwanted" dollars in a bank account and then at a later date go back to the bank and withdraw them again. There have been a hundred articles in the newspapers about this. However, those articles also warn you that when you go to withdraw them, the bank may...

    New Argentine Currency Launched to Offset Milei’s Shock Therapy

    This is old news, except that they finally printed that junk. Too bad for the people of La Rioja that Quintela didn't keep his election promise.

    Mercado Pago as an investment tool

    Maybe the $600,000 amount is an outdated number. I've got more than that earning interest at this moment. At a few points in time I've had more than double that amount, and all earning interest. I have run up against that daily transfer limit before. I seem to remember that it's just under...

    Mercado Pago as an investment tool

    I keep all the pesos that I'm not using in Mercado Pago, not in the bank. It was great when it was paying 95%/year and the dollar was flat. I still earn a little on it, but not like before. The problem, of course, it that you never want to be holding too many more pesos than you need, just in...

    Is there a better way to get pesos than Western Union?

    I just logged in. The rate for debit card to Argentine bank is 1214.78 ($2 flat fee). The rate to transfer to mobile wallet is 1241.44, no fee. The US page for MoneyGram is: https://www.moneygram.com/mgo/us/en/ On that page, you'll see a rate for Argentina of 1268.09, but that's only for the...

    Is there a better way to get pesos than Western Union?

    Local wallet (billetera digital) means Mercado Pago, Ualá, Naranja X. I don't know if some of the others, like MODO or Cuenta DNI or Personal Pay can work for those transfers. I transfer to Mercado Pago.

    History of the Buenos Aires neighborhoods: San Nicolás

    Searching for that book online, I discovered this interesting page of free book downloads (PDF) from the city government.

    Taxi rates. Am I being scammed?

    How do tips work with Uber, Didi, Cabify and remises? I've always just used taxis if necessary (most of the time without problems, but with a few big exceptions), but I'm interested in getting into the 21 century with my transportation.

    Milei is getting inflation under control (graph)

    First show me that it did in Argentina. And that's quite a range. 130 - 200 percent. Which one is it, Henny?

    Milei is getting inflation under control (graph)

    Ok, I counted the first month as the baseline. So shoot me. Are you going to continue your personal attacks across all the threads on the site?

    Milei is getting inflation under control (graph)

    Food went up by 3.2 percent. 4% compounded monthly for a year is 53% Why should anybody take what you say seriously when everything you say is exaggerated and wrong?

    Milei is getting inflation under control (graph)

    You think 4% a month amounts to double in one year? Check your math. (Forgetting about all the rest of the things we could say about the post.)

    Moneygram

    The reality is that I only posted after you told people. erroneously, that Moneygram pays 940 and Western Union pays 1220. I'm not insisting on anything, nor am I being dogmatic. I'm trying to set the record straight on something that is very important in the daily lives of most people living...

    Argentina must repudiate its debt

    I was giving you the benefit of the doubt until I read that comment. The very last thing that Argentina needs is yet another default (which may happen anyway).
