prima facie proof that too many people there are sitting on their asses doing nothing all day

Printing dollars isn't productive economic activity, the only difference between the Federal Reserve and the BCRA is that people are still willing to take dollars in exchange for things of value, for now anyhow.

See, that's the difference. I'm here because Argentina offers opportunity now, in a way that is beneficial for both locals and for me. The US has nothing to offer; the place just keeps going downhill and once the electoral system becomes so corrupted there is no way forward without bloodshed...

I remember a great many people supporting Massa not that long ago and not wanting to see the economic adjustment that is now happening ever occur.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to live somewhere affordable, but a lot of people who post here would happily have the locals slaving away for a dollar a day if it meant that they could live like kings on their social security payments. That's exploitative, and wishing poverty on everyone...

Having your fate decided by people too stupid to figure a way out of jury duty, no less.

The vaccine is genocide. I had covid too, i was sick for a week, now i'm immune. People are keeling over dead from sudden heart failure from the vaccine. I think continuing to push the idea that the vaccine is safe in any way or has any benefit is completely unconscionable, and I hope there's a...

And that legislation never gets abused during a divorce proceeding, right?

I like the president more and more every day. You can know a man by his enemies, and the people most responsible for the decline of Western civilization in general haven't stopped squealing since he took office.

That's good, having your history of vaccine activism to reminisce about will bring a bit of levity to an otherwise tragic untimely funeral.

Used to be able to renew your Vietnam tourist visa 2 months at a time and hop on your moto to Cambodia for the weekend every few months when they wouldn't let you renew in country. No idea if that's changed. I can't recall ever meeting anyone who actually had a legal visa, but that was 10 years...

A great many local expats are bottom feeders and are here because it is the cheapest place they could live on a fixed income. The fact that rising salaries benefiting locals would mean rising prices made them completely opposed to any sort of positive change. Vietnam offers a similarly closed...

I have a guy who is helping me sort out the tax issues opening a business in Argentina. He speaks English. If you can't find anyone let me know, the only issue is that we're both in La Plata. I don't know if you will have issues with him being in the provincia de buenos aires if you are in the...

Avoid strenuous exercise, it could provide fatal. You let a guy who publicly fantasizes about wiping out humanity inject something into your body?

Except Lula has actually been sending the Gestapo around to screw with people who get in the way of his agenda. I'm not whining about the law, I'm whining about the lack of rule of law in Brasil since last year. The law is now whatever the STF says it is, and nobody can stop them from having...

Are they still planning on doing the paro nacional despite the labor reform getting suspended?

Find a cueva that can send a wire to your us bank account. You'll probably make 1% on the transaction for bringing them paper usd.

clearly, the price of the place they want to buy has gone up for whatever reason, so they've raised the listing price of their house accordingly. Those people aren't serious about selling, move on.

I'll happily trade my house in an extremely safe part of Florianopolis for a property of equal value in Buenos Aires. Good neighbors, lots of room, very safe. The locks on my car door don't work and I've accidentally left money on the dashboard and it's been there when I got back. I'm not down...
