Amen to that!

Well, that's finally over. Not what I was expecting, but I can't say I'm unhappy with the result.

You can thank Mauricio Macri for that, Nestor and Cristina paid off the IMF and freed Argentina from its grasp entirely, then Macri borrowed 34 Billion USD from the IMF and pissed it all away in vain, with no result but massive capital flight. It has been pointed out that the IMF flagrantly...

And once again, a contradiction. Libertarian thought says free trade is good, but Milei insists Communists are bad. So Mondino gets fired for voting to end the Cuba embargo. But at the same time, Milei gives the business of printing all Argentine to currency to China, who are also Communists...

But but but, they're COMMUNISTS! How can this guy be so rigidly doctrinaire on one issue, yet go 180 degrees against doctrine and past statement on the next issue?

The language regarding the taxis is unclear. It says they "will not be allowed to circulate on the streets". Now, does that mean they can still be dispatched to a call, or is this just more of the Argentine penchant for flowery prose?

I vehemently disagree with your characterization of Telegram.

That's what happens when your chief executive is an idiot. He will cling to doctrine over pragmatism in this, but has apparently has zero problem with manipulating the currency which runs counter to all Libertarian principles.

Spring is here, and things are much worse than in March when you wrote this.

At 14 pages, that's a long read. I read the first two pages and skimmed the rest, and it's what I'd call a mixed bag of donuts. Some of it is reasonable, and some of it beyond what I would support. There are some parts of the traditional "implied social contract" that make sense with...

That's not supposed to happen with AirBnB. I would suggest that you should pitch a major bitch about it. Don't let landlords get away with renting out a unit with dodgy gear. As far as the rest, welcome to Argentina! :)

Delta Sierra Absent government manipulation, the Argentine peso isn't worth puppy poop.

The problem here is that lithium refining generates large amounts of incredibly nasty toxic waste as a by-product. It is a truly vile process. Argentina is already suffering enough of this "pollution by foreign investment" from the gold extraction operations by foreign controlled entities. This...

Heya, VV, good to see you back!

When I say "throw off some quick, cheap remark" I am not accusing JimBob of doing this; I'm referring to past flame wars.
