I went antiquing to start finding furniture for my apartment this week. I saw a shop down the street with some interesting stuff in the window, and lo and behold one day the door seemed to be open. I went up and knocked, and a few minutes later the shopkeeper let me in. She seemed a bit...

Part of the DNU was something about deregulating where places that wholesalers can operate. If there's a mafia of Bolivians running the only wholesale market in town, that may keep locals out of the business. Deregulation may also viabilize things like community supported agriculture, where...

There's also the geopolitical backdrop to consider. The US used to be a much freer country with a functional economy back then. Now, where else is there to go? Lots of talented people are leaving the UK, Canada, and New Zealand for the hard left turn their countries have taken after the...

You think they wouldn't lettuce expats into the business? They'd squash his ambitions?

Argentina is now the land of opportunity and the money hasn't been made yet. The transformation in El Salvador over the past few years has been incredible, and El Salvador is not a particularly appealing country. I think the situations are at the very least comparable, with both countries being...

Prices are definitely going up, I closed on my apartment 2 weeks ago and had to pick up appliances this week. That being said, I picked up the minimum used crap necessary for now, because depending on how this new DNU about goods for personal use being duty free gets implemented I may just drive...

it depends on who you get at the border. technically, they want an apostilled document from the government, not just a vet report. i've had to waste hours driving to the next border crossing before when i got the wrong guy at customs who really had it out for not letting my dog into the country...

same, also, my light bill has a barcode, not qr.

What are the odds! I just got back from the bank where they have helpfully disabled the bill pay feature for bank accounts that were opened with only a passport (no DNI), so now I have no way to pay bills when I am out of the country. Interested if anyone has found some sort of prepaid card...

You can't. It's deliberate. They hate you. If there was a fraudulent payment, contact your bank to get the charge reversed and explain that there is no way to contact them. It won't be the first time they've heard it.

Create a new WU account with a different email address and it may magically start working again.

I managed property in Berkeley, California for years where the famously leftist city council implemented rent control and just cause eviction laws to protect the most vulnerable members of the community. The ultimate result was every landlord in the city implementing income, credit, and cosigner...

They pulled this crap with me too and demanded to see my passport for a 2000 peso purchase. Now I don't shop there any more, their meat sucks anyhow. Support local business.

This means that there will be apartments available for rent. At the moment, the only rentals available in just about the entire country are "vacation rentals", which lack any sort of legal guarantee of the tenant's continued right to stay there as long as they keep paying the rent. This is...

lofter.io I think they're only in La Plata, but it was a fantastic experience. I showed up, I paid them a month of rent in cash, they gave me the keys, I moved in with my dog. Everything in the apartment was in pretty decent shape and everything worked. No silly games, no realtors wanting absurd...

I was just thinking today that it seems like everywhere I go, it seems like people are looking for someone to blame for their money problems and ideally screw them over somehow in order to fix said problems.

And one day, when your social credit score falls too low, you just can't buy anything. MercadoLibre is the beta release of the mark of the beast.

There are a few places that could be them. Search for genesis music and the software name.

Mercadolibre loves to pull this shit. They are a bad company and you should avoid doing business with them. In the listing, is the username of the seller some sort of company name? Find the seller and buy directly from them, don't support Mercadolibre.

I'm sick of dealing with nasty realtors thinking they have a right to an arm, a leg, and my first born son for showing me a rental apartment if I can even convince them to get off their ass, and I'm sick of dealing with Airbnb and the dishonest vermin that infest the platform. I went scorched...
