    Did Justice Die ... James Comey ?

    The director of the FBI (who happens to be a staunch Republican) didn't agree. But hey... I'm sure everyone else knows more than him.

    Student Visa Expires Before Course Ends?

    I'd be pretty curious to see actual numbers of deportations and under what circumstances. Because you know.sometimes there is some hyperbole...cough.

    Student Visa Expires Before Course Ends?

    LOL - I doubt the OP is going to get a deportation notice. That presumes that Migraciones would know, track him/her down for what, a few weeks over. in the realm of probability - I'm going to have that one a snowball's chance in hell. Geash - not quite following. Your applied for a visa in...

    Opening A Software Development Center In Argentina??

    My first question would be WHY is BsAs your first/only choice? None of the issues discussed on this thread have gone away. 25% raises, onerous paperwork processes, high taxes, generally contentious employer/employee relationships and very difficult employment laws, etc. So again - why is...

    How Is Aerolineas Now?

    I've flown Aerolineas a few times to NY and Miami and actually flights have been good with the giant caveat - they're good if/when they take off. I would never book Aerolineas if you have to be some place at a certain time - they are pretty notorious and rightly so for being late, flights...

    U.s. Citizen Apprehended For Crimes Committed In Ba

    I was the first to say it because when the accusation was posted - no name of the accused had been given and there was zero official confirmation that restaurant owner was one and the same as the abuser. I'm a little old fashioned, I prefer waiting of the official charges until hanging someone...

    U.s. Citizen Apprehended For Crimes Committed In Ba

    Regardless of the Big Apple owner's businesses acumen or lack thereof, saying that it is him is slander at this point since no one has been named. I would be deleting the posts tout suite until the suspect is officially named.

    Mosquitos In Ba Or Iguazu?

    There shouldn't be many. Yes, we do get mosquitos during winter - it's only when it's really, really cold that the adults die as in below O C. I got bitten the other day in fact but that isn't common. A l little bit of Off or the like should be more than enough protection.

    Argentine And U S Tax Authorities Now Talking Together

    I think that's generally more an Argentina issue than a US issue no? I can't remember ever hearing a case of the IRS going after/questioning how people afforded buying their properties. Also, while I know people in the US exploit loopholes, at least my N1 is outright tax evasion is generally...

    Huge Increase In Alarm Service Costs

    Buy some cameras, install and you can monitor directly from any smartphone. Easier and cheaper. I'd also recommend a dog if you don't have one. We have motion sensor lights which are pretty handy but you said you're in an apt.

    Like The "deme Dos" Days

    It's true. I grew up with Wegmans. Every time I go back to see my parents, I usually just wander around in there for a while with my mouth agape. It is akin to a religious experience.

    Like The "deme Dos" Days

    True but then 457 people would argue that they pay x, y or z instead and therefore that can't possibly be correct ;) I have no dog in the fight - I simply was using the average numbers reported by the gov't to compare with the numbers Steve used to see if his hypothesis was correct (groceries...

    Like The "deme Dos" Days

    I'm sure RIes is spending more and/or he's in such a small town that they don't have the economies of scale when it comes to shopping. But everyone has an n1, you need to look at general picture. I could easily go to NYC and spend a gazillion percent (Note - not actual percentage;) more than...

    Like The "deme Dos" Days

    Hit reply too soon. On a good note, meat, esp premium cuts, continue to be much cheaper in Argentina than in the US.

    Like The "deme Dos" Days

    Ries, you can argue with the BLS but those are the objective prices from May 2016. And I just pulled up prices from Wegmans (very nice supermarket chain in Northeast) 12 eggs. $1.19 22 oz Wegmans bread (packaged) $1.19 or baguettes fresh baked family size 28 oz for $4.00 Premium Russet Idaho...

    Like The "deme Dos" Days

    Steve - you can't compare where you live to NY or LA though. If you want to look at prices for a small town in the US, that would be more realistic comparison. I just pulled this from US Bureau of Labor Stats and used the midwest prices as thats most apt comparison...

    Why Pay Rent?

    Playing that game is the status quo here. You see it in all areas of life here. I have clients 6+ months in arrears on the board for their horses. Meanwhile guess who has to put their hands in their wallet to feed their horses every day? Us. Not all of our Argentine clients are like that...

    Registering A Company And Residence Visa

    You need to be a resident of Argentina or have a resident as the director of the company. You also need a partner for an SRL. It's not inexpensive to do it either.

    Ex-Official Arrested Hiding Bags With Us$ 5-8 Million, Gun

    We generally agree not to talk about it in person - I like them as people but the politics..oy vey. They're smart, funny, hardworking people but I cannot FATHOM how they are so blind. But as I said, in person we don't talk about it. I just see their stuff on FB and exercise my eye-roily...

    Ex-Official Arrested Hiding Bags With Us$ 5-8 Million, Gun

    And yes my K friends are still posting stupid memes about how Macri is condemning the poor and how he's only for the rich and the Kirchners were the only ones that were looking out of the good of the lower class. Yet the Kirchner regime stole from the country on what is starting to look like...
