There seems to be some organized effort among the right in the US to pressure Milei into immediate dollarization. Hanke, O'Grady, Daniel Raisbeck from the Cato Institute, and others have been publishing articles recently criticizing Milei for not dollarizing already and blaming Argentina's...

Sitting outside is unbearable with the amount of beggars and sock sellers.

Probably not worth the effort. Slim chance you'll see that money.

What did the article say?

The purpose of the IMF isn't to better a country. It's to keep them subservient to the US and Western European powers. China has their own version of this as well.

Good luck with that complaint

The IMF and the US ambassador couldn't care less about the poor. They care about their control over Argentina.

The tax code is indeed a disaster. I know people want to blame everything on Milei, but he has been president for 3 months and the Peronists have been running Argentina for 22 of the last 30 years. They have had more than enough time to come up with a sensible tax code, but have failed to do...

Yes I use apple pay all the time, I'm sure you can use Google Pay as well. You can use foreign or local cards. Load cash? You could swap dollars at the blue then deposit them into a local account that is connected to a debit card and load it to Google Pay.

Most things in Argentina are significantly cheaper than the US in USD terms, but you can buy cheap generic window cleaner in the US too.

No word from Jay J. recently. He must be currently hiding out in a bunker with his Kuwati Dinar, Norwegian Kroner and gold bars shaking with fear that Hunter Biden is going to cause nuclear war and a financial meltdown. Perma-bearishness is a mental disease. If you find yourself consuming too...

Every advancement in technology makes it easier for scammers unfortunately. The AI scam wave will be massive.

Hank all you need to do to get access to the internet, news, maps, etc when your outside your home is to use your phone data which works like wifi. Your Claro sim card - as long as it's activate - should give you internet access. If you go to a Claro store they should be able to help you...

We were talking about economics and your response for some strange reason was "did Lali Esposito turn down a tantric sex session" and "liking porn stars"... I thought Milei was a better option than Massa who was already a proven failure...and a narco according to Cristina. Milei could go down...

Economic policies don't play out so quickly, lag is a real thing. There is a ton of research on the topic. If you don't like his temperament that's another discussion.

Frank I wouldn't expect you to have an objective opinion on Milei. You supported Massa. I get it, you're obsessed with his sex life for some odd reason and don't approve of it. That doesn't invalid my point that you can't judge economic policies of any president within 2.5 months.

Agree about the railways. I do think if the train system serves the country and provides a net benefit it's ok if it losses some money. There is graft and corruption in every country, but the problem is worse in Argentina than Western Europe. Here in Argentina when these companies are under...

What calculations are you trying to use on excel?

Yet there are a hundred people in there a day saying, man this steak is only $60? This would cost me $100 in NYC.
