Don't come to Buenos Aires if that bothers you. It's all over.

I've spent some time in Paraguay. You can't compare Asuncion to Buenos Aires. The equivalent to Asuncion is like Corrientes or Rosario.

Worldcoin is a scam

From what I've heard Milei wants foreigners to pay for public education and health care, which I think is fair. If I come to Argentina don't pay into the system and go to a public hospital, I'm draining resources from a country to which I don't contribute. Are there deeper cuts to public...

Difference between Milei and US Republicans is that Milei is shrinking the size of the government. US Republicans despite all their talk increase the size of the government when they are in power and then whine about the Democrats increasing the size of government too.

Yes of course you need to take in the whole economic picture. My point is that you need to give time for economic policies to play out. The lag effect is one of the basic tenets of economics.

True, but we need to wait a bit to see if his policies can unwind the inflation. Policy, interest rate, and money supply changes don't have an instant effect. There are always lags in any economic action. If 2 years from now inflation is worse than when he took office, we can say Milei was an...

Argentina has by and large been a highly regulated economy with high taxes - that's what has created the current environment we are in with a few large companies making high profits. Many times it's those companies that are supporting the regulations - regulatory capture. It insulates...

Very true Yes I agree again, that the poor will pay the most. They always do. They suffered the most with the horrible inflation these past years and will continue to suffer with the measures to tame it. Curious how do you view the comment the private sector won't be held accountable? What...

I only made half way through, but they start by saying they know nothing about Argentina, keep calling the country "Argentine" , ponder after Milei says there isn't any money "why don't they just print money like the US" , then said "oh their economy is like Venezuela, it's all tied to...

Correct. Most people live in cities where starlink doesn't make any sense. It's only really viable for areas that are off the grid. Rural areas with poor internet connections, and you need to make a decent salary. I wouldn't say you need to be ultra rich to afford $120 per month. Like any...

Cafiero is not very capable. He's only in the position that he is in because of his grandfather and father. Kicillof is much smarter, savvy and more of a favorite of the Ks.

Fantastic track record of predictions lmaoo

Business loans are way easier to get in the US than Argentina, not even close. There are also many more alternative financing options in the US as well. During the Macri years, I worked for a company here in BA that provided alternative financing to companies. There were many companies that...

Death for someone who blocks the road? Rhetoric like this is why the Ks win. It makes the other side sound extreme. We can have order and reasonable penalties -- the choice isn't -- a) let protestors block highways at will or b) forfeit your life when you block a road

Prison or bullet, what a moron. No wonder Espert not got any traction.

Agreed that you want to have dollars in some type of appreciating asset and/or yielding asset, but what makes you say there is less and less global demand for the dollar? DXY has been holding up pretty well. I see a similar scenario that happened under Macri. Blanqueo -- lots of dollars flow...

I meant this post as asking about Pullaro. I don't know anything about him. Please educate me about could. Grammar isn't my strength.

Not to praise my incredible insight again, but we are also starting to see Bukele inspired tactics and marketing in Santa Fe. I don't know anything about Maxi Pullaro. It seems he is trying to position himself as a Bukele. Narcos in Rosario left a note that if he touched the prisons they would...
