    How to run a survey?

    I'm curious to know how many BAExpats survived COVID without a single jab? On what basis you took that decision? Problem is I don't know how to construct the question in a manner that keeps the privacy of participants (if they wish).

    Devil's advocate: 1. You need a will of steel ,,, superman ,,, to sustain this for 30 or 50 or 90 years. I gave up in less than a year. 2. Carnivores are fed and grown on vegetable diet. 3. Modern pharmacology evolved from and is based on 1000's of years of vegetable spices and herbs. 4...

    Diet: Living on beef and eggs

    Since the 90's my white blood cells count was destroyed by radiation therapy (regrettably). It's been around 88 ever since ,,, (normal range should be between 150 / 450). Yet my immune system stayed in tact due to my diet. I even survived COVID without a vaccine.

    Is there a better way to get pesos than Western Union?

    Exactly. If everything goes right and nothing goes wrong and after discounting the Buquebus fare ,,etc ,, the reward definitely will be less than 10 pesos per Dollar. It's not worth it for me to take that risk and waste and hassle a whole day for less than a 100 bucks ,,, if any at all. I need...

    Is there a better way to get pesos than Western Union?

    Mystery solved. No difference whatsoever. If I get a Dollar from Uruguay and convert it to pesos ,,,,, current arbolito rate is 1285. If I stay home in BsAs and WesternUnion myself a Dollar ,,, current WU rate is 1288. Doesn't make any sense going Uruguay. Strictly from the economic sense...

    Is there a better way to get pesos than Western Union?

    I'm thinking of accumulating 10 WU/Uruguay transfers $1000 US EACH. Then cashing all 10 transfers in one trip. That would work, no? I'm only interested in the economics and numbers of $9999 US operation. Uruguay beaches are not part of my enquiry. Any benefit or difference compared 10...

    Is there a better way to get pesos than Western Union?

    Is it financially worth it to do the one day Colonia round trip for $9999 US. Would that beat WU? How much would be the difference?

    Food prices are amongst the highest of the planet
