    Food prices are amongst the highest of the planet

    Well, as the saying attributed to Kuznets goes, there are four kinds of countries: developed, developing, Japan, and Argentina. Anyways, I think what is getting lost here is the original topic of food prices, especially relative to domestic income. While I'd rather rent in Buenos Aires than say...

    Food prices are amongst the highest of the planet

    Wow, I thought the cloning of posts to the other site was weird, but photoshopping another member's post is something else... Thank you for calling this out, while we may have differing (and strong) opinions, we shouldn't literally falsify other's comments to "win" an argument.

    Food prices are amongst the highest of the planet

    This is where I'm less confident; I've been living in/coming to Argentina for over a decade now, and businesses just don't seem to adhere to the normal laws of supply and demand. Don't get me wrong, now that we're in a recession (and even before) they successfully clamped down on employees'...

    Food prices are amongst the highest of the planet

    I'm frequently in California, including earlier this month, and let me tell you, Ralphs/Vons/Walmart, hell, even certain items at CVS and Whole Foods are substantially cheaper than here, and the salaries are nowhere near as low. It was shocking just how cheap things were, even eating out was...

    Hello from Neuquen

    Thanks for the insight! I heard that the petroleros can be a double-edged sword, and that seems to be the case, that being said, I suppose it's what gives Neuquén a broader economy overall. When driving to Bariloche I passed some of the developments along the Embalse Ezequiel Ramos Mexía (not...

    Hello from Neuquen

    Welcome! Are you guys in Neuquén Capital or somewhere else? I daydream about moving to Neuquén or Rio Negro, but haven't met anyone that's made the move; how do you guys find it? Pros and cons?

    Javier Milei's show at Luna Park

    He's really not helping the substance abuse accusations/general tone deafness; he's also giving off De la Rúa and the limones energy if anyone remembers it that

    Spain recalls its ambassador to Argentina over Milei insult

    Far be it from me to tell Milei how to defend himself, but if someone implied or accused me of being a meth/paco head I probably wouldn't double down on my unhinged tweeting, picking fights with random people who weren't involved, continue my personal grooming routines that make me look unkempt...

    Argentina opposition questions Milei’s use of public funds to pay for trips abroad

    I find him to be a smug, arrogant, lying little weasel, whose brother coincidentally also has a 7 figure government salary since Milei's arrival (VLLC!), but in his defense, this puts him in line with others like Cerruti or Capitanich who have lied through their teeth as sycophants for some of...

    Spain recalls its ambassador to Argentina over Milei insult

    Biweekly trips to meet with cryptofascists abroad, using government money to go on religious excursions, 10 hours a day of "executive time" on Twitter, pissing off the countries we desperately need to invest in Argentina; talk about the leader Argentina desperately needs! "No hay plata", unless...

    I found a peanut butter that isn't runny or off tasting!

    I've seen Mani King at Carrefour and Jumbo, has anyone tried it?

    What happens after USD $12,000?

    Hey Paige, I saw several other users reported this issue with Santander specifically, and you have a couple of options, depending on how much of a "fight" you want to put up. At least in your case, it's pretty straight forward since as the beneficiary of a trust, your income should...

    Always happy to help, it can be very confusing sometimes :)

    What happens after USD $12,000?

    I think there's some confusion going on here, so let me try and clear things up (not an accountant or lawyer, as always): - Undeclared limit for bringing physical dollars in to the country is and remains $10K USD (you can exceed it, but must declare it at the port of entry) - There exists no...

    Food prices are amongst the highest of the planet

    I'm in the US right now and prices are either the same or cheaper at grocery stores, it's crazy, and the selection, quality, and minimum/average wage are all much higher here too of course...

    Milei meeting with Elon Musk

    Letting the Musks of the world loot Argentina "to own the libs" is the exact sort of opinion and logical followthrough I expect from Mileistas. I don't believe in ISI or the K isolationism, but perhaps a man who continuously snatches defeat from the jaws of victory while being so high on...

    Tough Times For Argentine Factories As Consumers Penny-pinch

    Most people don't earn an income high enough to pay ganacias, true, but they're getting raked over the coals when it comes to things like IVA, Impuesto PAIS, etc. which are the most regressive taxes because they are flat, not graduated, and apply to everyone equally. The rich pay 21% on...
