    Neighbor's dogs knocked over fence, mauled other neighbor's dog in front of my kid. Can I do anything?

    As cold hearted as it might sound, once the perp has done his/her business, for the Law that was it. Your opportunity and the Law's are done. Once the POS is in retreat mode you are not to interfere unless you are in for serious trouble. Reality dictates that you started late, being the subject...

    Neighbor's dogs knocked over fence, mauled other neighbor's dog in front of my kid. Can I do anything?

    Basic Rules: You feared for your life (never ever mention material things). If the BG retreats/is leaving any reaction on your behalf is considered an attack, not a defensive move. You are the guilty party. Whatever happened before is another - unrelated - story Bodies must drop inside your...

    Neighbor's dogs knocked over fence, mauled other neighbor's dog in front of my kid. Can I do anything?

    Terrible situation. Unfortunately, there's no easy solution and responsibility lies with both dog owners. Not the animals. Do not expect any help or understanding from the neighbors or the Police. It's not their job. My suggestion is you start carrying a walking stick/cane. Iz

    Covid + passenger boards flight with fake certificate

    This can only be a partial picture, of course. We will never know or understand all the facts and the situation from his POV. What stands out is that the guy has the time, means and opportunity to go get his shots abroad, Visa included. He is also young and healthy. Given the choice of...

    Rentals. The most controversial points of the law that the Senate could approve

    In short, the whole point of investing in a place to rent is to make a huge effort to stay above the uncertainties of inflation and the rollercoaster of salaries that hardly ever raise above water level. Iz

    Rentals. The most controversial points of the law that the Senate could approve

    A rent tied to a salary is never a good solution in any sound mind. The renters income should not be the owners problem in a free market. A rent tied to the officially declared inflation is not a wise idea either. Used to work for Lavagna Jr. at Ecolatina. They lied for a living, starting with...

    What percentage of businesses try to rip you off in Argentina?

    Getting sick of Cablevision. Image quality sucks. Decent enough for a 28' TTL (tube) but not for any flat screen bigger than that. Air (free) signal is much much better, WTF with that? Advertising. Too much. Fibertel has gotten the bad habit of going belly up on holidays or the night before...

    Standing in line.

    Honestly don't think the space is insufficient. Pretty sure we argentinians ABUSE it as much as we can abuse each other and get away with it. Back in the day they used to say you could tell they were argentinians on board because the plane had luggage on top. Iz

    Standing in line.

    Being strictly logical, if someone wants your place, you should trade places and move to the end of the line. You are giving away your place AND YOUR TIME. Yours only. If you just let someone go first, then you are abusing the time of the rest behind you. That's rude and inconsiderate. Most...

    Consumer Protection Agency in Buenos Aires

    Then again, to have the aforementioned meeting, you need first 66.66% of the owners signatures. Jantango already mentioned the absence of a Council so the 2/3 in agreement is a must. THEN and only THEN you can proceed with yous simple majority of those present AND subject by the vote of those...

    Consumer Protection Agency in Buenos Aires

    Usually, you need 50 + 1 % of the property owners (% of ownership, NOT the number of votes), 2/3 majority or eventually - much less common - a simple majority of those present. It is determined by the Reglamento de Copropiedad I mentioned earlier. It is important to plan ahead if you want to...

    Consumer Protection Agency in Buenos Aires

    For starters, a call to 911 and / 147 when the lady was entertaining a gentleman would have been an interesting way to document the situation and wake up the others. Ley 941 and its modifications is your friend. Fire insurance is mandatory. No discussing it. Lack of it is a serious...

    Consumer Protection Agency in Buenos Aires

    Haven't read the whole story but it should be pointed out that any expensas debt not claimed formally by the Administrator will expire. The Administrator is responsible for her actions and inactions for two years after leaving. She can not raise her salary unless it is approved by a properly...

    Consumer Protection Agency in Buenos Aires

    FWIW, i listened to a seminar on how to become a registered Administrator. Not first hand, but paying close attention. The first thing you need is the Reglamento de Copropiedad and the Reglamento Interno if they sanctioned one. Any and both of them should be provided (for copying) by the...

    Looking to invest $1 million USD in Argentina - what should I buy?

    The train crawled its way to Buenos Aires. Too msny people crossing the tracks here and there, carrying large boxes of stolen goods. The train was packed and you could read the concern and fear on every face. It was a very dangerous situation. Shortly before reaching the J. C. Paz station the...

    Looking to invest $1 million USD in Argentina - what should I buy?

    The day «Chupete's» government fell, i was working at the Parque Industrial de Pilar when all the phones rang at the same time. The excreta had reached the proverbial fan. Everybody scrambled home. One of the company owners had a scheduled meeting with «el señor 5» so we jumped in his armored...

    Argentina's schools become political battleground after curbs

    Got enough teachers in the family to know the situation is serious. I worry a lot more about the stupid parents pilling up around the school entrance. There's the real danger. The stupid is strong with most of them. No brains, no worries, no distance and all the time in the world. Danger...

    Uruguay, once Covid haven, suffers record infections and deaths

    Don't drink the Kool-Aid! With all that has been uncovered regarding the vaccines administration and the likelyhood that the chain of custody and proper refrigeration has been kept, are you 100% positive that everyone is receiving a real vaccine as intended and there is no ersatz or placebos...
