Politics and finances. Despite the austerity of this government, the Argentine state still needs a lot of money to keep the lights on and keep up with its pre-existing public debt to the order of about half-a-trillion dollars. From a financial point of view, this government still depends on...

With the end/ reduction of costly energy subsidies and with significant union mandated wage increases for porteros and building staff this year in an as yet still inflationary economy, what else would anyone actually expect? Between January 2023 and December 2023 my expensas more than doubled...

I would agree that foreign currency will never show the reality of local income vs costs in any country, while it may serve for comparative purposes such as understanding the value of wages in FX terms. Also would agree that to use the canasta basica total vs minimum wage to show the true change...

I would argue that a Nordic model it is very much user pays and is different from a UK or US style model as you describe - everyone pays and everyone has guaranteed and equal access to all state social welfare services from birth until death without things like means-testing or incentives/...

Foreign idealists often cite Nordic models (many without ever having set foot there let alone lived there for any meaningful amount of time) to back up their policial beliefs as if it were some kind of silver bullet on a smorgasbord of simple policies you can pick and choose. Yet they always...

Wrong. Here is a tax summary in English in case language barrier is an issue about Argentine taxes. https://taxsummaries.pwc.com/argentina/individual/taxes-on-personal-income#:~:text=The%20average%20tax%20rate%20is,the%20City%20of%20Buenos%20Aires. Looks pretty progressive to me... the...

Ríes, it seems understanding non-US taxes is not your strongpoint. 1. The 78% tax referenced in your post includes the basic corporate tax of 22% that applies to almost all tax resident companies (FYI - “CIT” = corporate income tax) 2. The 56% special tax levied on oil and tax has a unique...

What similarities and differences exactly between Norwegian/ generic OECD corporation tax models and what Milei is already proposing should be looked at? A lower corporate tax (currently 35% in Argentina since around 2021 when Alberto put it up from 30%….) to 25% or 22% would be welcome, but...

This is just the saftey/ atc workers Union. It doesn’t affect the airport police (PSA) pilots airlines staff or other workers at the airports themselves - meaning departure and arrival slots would likely be reprogrammed (similar to European atc strikes)

https://chequeado.com/el-explicador/como-evoluciono-la-pobreza-con-cada-presidente/ If poverty remains at a sustained level well above 42% or on a constantly increasing trajectory over the next year, then I have no doubt that all levels of Argentine society will and must ask some hard questions...

Thanks for clearing that up, so I understand now you would see no problem for Argentina to sell arms to Ukraine if it were profitable (and thus in the interests of the Argentine economy). Agree that the two points - arms sales and neutrality - are two separate issues.

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/learner-english/tyrant Neither Milei or Zelensky can be classified as a Tyrant. @Redpossum, you can refresh my memory better than anyone as to your previous positions on the Argentine defence industry (Fabrica Militar, FANAZUL, ship building etc)...

This is exactly the conversation should be having. Having a quick look through my rappi orders history, here are some prices I paid for the some menu items in 2023 versus the SMVyM at the time, and what the listed prices on rappi for the exact same menu items from the same restaurant versus the...

Sky Airlines of Chile (actually a pretty good low cost airline from there - currently advertising BRC-SCL for $110) and LATAM will also operate a few flights to SCL again this season, however I think LATAM is only operating a charter service. No other Chilean cities at this point... had heard...

My response to your post about tourism in Bariloche, a deflection away from the original point you raised about international tourism, can be found here. Thanks for setting up the thread. Perhaps do consider retracting your lie that most winter tourists to Bariloche come from Brazil - or back it...
