Before Alberto arrived, my wife, una jubilada de Santa Fe, was making US$1600/month. During Alberto, she got as low as US$310/month, and has never come close to recovering. When are you going to stop your ridiculous comments?

I've been staying out of all of these fairly useless political discussions (and will generally continue to do so). But this is so absurd that I must comment. When I arrived in 2004, there were hundreds of people living on the sidewalk in every block of 9 de julio (and many of the wider...

I wish I could suggest a new administrator, but we've been through 14 in 20 years. Or maybe it's 15.

Yes. I noted that at the end. The money arrived while I was writing the note about it.

When I went to get the info from the Moneygram page to answer the question, I noticed (although it's probably been there) that there's an option to sent to a mobile wallet. So I'm trying it. I'm trying to send US$100 to my Mercado Pago account. I'll post back on the results, but the transfer...

I tried to schedule an appointment with a dermatologist at Italiano the other day. Earliest appointment, October. Insane. If you're having pain in your back or some other serious problem, Johnny, go to the guardia at Italiano. Several times when I've had problems that couldn't wait (heart...

I guess I wasn't clear enough, so I'll be a bit clearer. They told me that in the USSR they lived in abject poverty. Always.

So you had friends that gave you their first hand knowledge of what was going on there? Because these people, living their whole lives in two separate cities in Russia before coming to the US, told me many stories in the couple years that I worked with them that absolutely contradict what...

When I was young, I worked with a couple of Russian software engineers that managed to get out of the USSR when it was nearly impossible to do so. Neither of them ever experienced any kind of cultural life at all. One had lived in St. Petersburg, the other in Moscow. In both cities, everyone...

Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your point of view, the dollar is not artificially cheap right now. How do we know that? Because if it were, the gap (brecha) between the official dollar and the so-called dolares financieros (blue, CCL, MEP) would be much, much higher. The market...

It's amazing that you're still here in Argentina in the middle of the apocalypse. I commend you for your unheralded bravery. But I suppose you have your bags packed and your ticket home booked. Please, have a safe flight home, and god bless. Think of us once in a while.
