I've arrived at the conclusion that real estate agents here have some really awful karma and have been reincarnated as real estate agents BECAUSE of what terrible people they are. The very fact that they are a real estate agent here is prima facie proof that they are a bad person. I just got...

I suspected that the Google AI was trying to kill me when it used to always find a way to route me through the nastiest favela for miles around in Brazil. Lately Google maps has consistently confused left and right for me as well in Argentina. Now it isn't just my paranoia. I switched to Waze...

You mail the fingerprint sheet to the company in the link I posted, they scan it and upload it digitally to the FBI, a digital certificate comes out a few days later, and then they get it apostilled, which could take a few days, could take a few months. Call the company and ask how long the...

https://www.monumentvisa.com/ I've used them multiple times to make the FBI apostille process go smoothly. Call them and they will explain everything. I would recommend mailing multiple copies of the fingerprint card to a relative in the US, so that if Migraciones requires that the certificate...

No more $30 flights to Foz de Iguacu?

In October people posted videos of themselves destroying ballots for Millei on social media. Massa invited in Lula's team that helped him rig the election in Brazil, although admittedly it will be more difficult here without the electronic machines.

It's a crapshoot every time. Airlines use black magic and sorcery to set rates so don't try using logic and reason to make sense of it. Check rates for both airports in Buenos Aires, check prices direct with the airlines, and if buying in pesos is more expensive don't buy in pesos.

Gotogate are thieves and if you keep using them, one of these days, they'll screw you way out of anything you may have saved. Now, that being said, see if you can book the same route direct with the airline in pesos. I saved 40% doing just that with Latam last week. Ymmv with other airlines, but...

Economists would be out of a job if the economy were functioning well, because people would be too busy living their lives to give a damn about what some economist had to say unless they really felt the need to listen in hopes that things might change.

Actually, it is about election fraud. The US has a history of going in and throwing color revolutions, manipulating the election, and afterwards getting a country that does what they're told, to the detriment of the people who live there. Now that the same thing has happened in the US, it's...

I haven't seen videos of Millei supporters destroying ballots for Massa posted on social media, nor has Millei invited foreign professional electoral fraud coordinators to help him steal the election. I don't think Millei stealing the election through fraud is on the table because he isn't a...

If you think the idea is ridiculous, you could buy old/folded bills, bring them back to the US, and exchange them for new big face Benjamins and bring them back here yourself. If you calculate out the numbers, you'll most likely find that the difference in price between new bills and old/damaged...

There are no threats of dictatorship is Massa is elected president, the threat is if he becomes president through fraud. I can't find the article right now but there was an article about 5 weeks ago about him bringing in Lula's "election advisory" team to help him beat Millei. Millions of people...

The left doesn't care about winning elections, they care about staying in power. That's why everywhere the left is involved, you see vote fraud. Vote fraud is a threat to national security. The only way to clean up vote fraud is often military intervention, so, if you don't want to see a...

Have you ever talked to a Salvadorian? They love the president. Kids used to not be able to leave the house after school unless they joined a gang, they had to go home and watch TV until Bukeyle launched a network of secure after school centers where they could go hang out with other kids. There...

The farmers would be selling the soya themselves at the world level if the government weren't forcing them to sell at a bad price and skimming the rest. As soon as it becomes economical to do so, someone always arbitrages commodities, which eventually leads to too many arbitragers and the price...

They could just start paying your social security in USD CBDC. Someone will take it, but it would be worthless to you outside the US. Sound far-fetched? How does EBT work currently?

Dollarization won't fix a thing. There's inflation in the USD as well, granted, less than in the peso but still significant. I have a house in Brazil and visit El Salvador frequently so I have front row seats to all of this, inflation in the USD is bad. Things in BRL have not shot up in price...
