Hermano; it's always been the Frente for all except the capitalist snakes and colonialist vultures that suck the blood of the pueblo.

The maquinita is truly a thing of beauty, indeed. Creating funny money to rescue a sunken company that lost all its true hard currency... Anyway, by all accounts, Vicentin was extremely badly run, and almost criminally managed by its private owners. So, it might be a case when the State would...

Nope. State workers get their full salaries. Thanks for your concern, but they are doing fine at home, watching TV and getting fully paid. And, mucho posting online about "stay ay home!". I'm still to find a hyper pro-quarantine dude who's not happily getting his full pay!

complainers typically do not bear the burden and responsibility of leadership, : are you saying we are "tweeting and not governing"? Anyway, mull on this: non-complainers typically are fully-paid by the State. Am I right in presuming that you have a State, public job? So, sure, the quarantine...

Very impressive stats. What about the daily deaths, though? Especially the daily deaths of dudes under 75 years old, still at Zero each day? "Infections" by a thing that kills no-one healthy and under 75, sure, terrifying stuff.

John-Wick 4 is out? Or is it El Marginal 4? No, I guess it's El Padrino 4...

Glad to see you both have understood the purpose and beauty of Politics. Cushy jobs for the family, mistress and gardener, and bolsas de dinero. Had you ever doubted it was like that, before, now and after? Believe me, you've just learned more than if you had studied 3 years Political Science.

They are protesting in order to try and keep their own cushy office jobs at Vicentin. Paid for doing little, they are, so they understandably protest the takeover. Because if there is indeed a takeover, of course it will be an Aerolineas scenario, with new employees (you know which ones) put in...

Who said it was about the economy? It's (half-assed) communist mind I'm referring to, not economics. California is full of wealthy Bernie-Sanders-like people. Nuff said, nuff said. Wannabe (rich) communists. Of course, Bernie-Sanders Californians would not survive one day in Venezuela, lol, but...

Wait now, are you thinking of fleeing away from "Venezuela communism", to go to an... even more leftist State (California)? Be advised that you'll find more communists per square meter in California than in La Matanza... just, richer communists.

Haven't you heard the President talking at the Puebla Group meetings? He is almost totally in harmonious agreement with Cristina. They might occasionnally play the good cop bad cop thing, but, they are both passionate about politics and I dare say, secret political and social soulmates.

Last Sunday, you probably had not fully understood my answer ( https://baexpats.org/threads/latam-announced-it-is-resuming-international-flights-in-and-out-of-peru-in-august-argentina.42674/post-387781 ) to your post above. Now you do.

Several famous eye-surgeons actually use the same, extremely modern and expensive LASIK laser-machine. From the same place; often. And these surgeons each decide (with their teams) on the prices they want to ask... so it's a matter of discreetly (though legally, mind you) negotiating with them...

If you ask directly at the most famous and fancy clinics, you'll get prices between 1500 and 2000 usd, for both eyes of course. But if you deal with the surgeon himself (and his team, including his partnering clinic) without going through the secretary-intermediary thing, you can get much...

Given that the peso was at 14 for one dollar in 2016, I guess the price quoted by the Sta Lucia was 2400 usd? Very expensive, and on top of that, for a humble, tired-looking, over-crowed public hospital... Well, we got from our eye surgeon a much better price, to get the surgery at a good...

^In any case, why do so many people seem to think that the president and Cristina are very different persons and politicians? Does it really matter which one actually governs, considering that they have the same political preferences.

"Bajo el colchon" So many Argentines and Argentinian families have cash money hidden in their house, that it generates security issues (with burglars). Argentines in any case are very skilled at hiding cash throughout their house.

I kind of disagree with the opinions above, regarding CFK. Cristina is not in charge of anything (of great importance), unless (until?) the president fails. So as long as the country is functional and somehow its money-printing maquinita works wonders, the president remains in full charge and...

Of course, thinking of the following thread https://baexpats.org/threads/choosing-health-care-for-newcomers.42675/ , I might add that negotiating prices is for (local or foreign) people who do not have medical insurance here in Argentina.
