    Ex asking for $600,000 ARS / $2150 usd as child support

    Tell her you won't support the mother's shoe shop, and hold the line at $2000. That's a decent sum out there, and has alimony built into it (she'll bank $500/month, for sure). Make it clear to her that you're not going to pay what she wants and that you'll fight her when she takes advantage of...

    The vicepresident's murder attempt

    Pretty incredible. Were there other moves that happened at the same time? Was it a lone guy or was he part of a group?

    Current VP and former President of Argentina could face prison time.

    While I'm no fan of financial fraud, here's a huge difference between stealing public funds or being bribed for contracts like the Peronists, and using dubious means to avoid stratospheric confiscatory taxation on your own money. I guess there again the supporters will do an equivalence...

    The Place With the Most Lithium Is Blowing the Electric-Car Revolution

    Huge difference between partnering with the Koreans and partnering with the Chinese, lol. Anyway, the plan to do a public private partnership with a foreign company to build the domestic industry with strict local hiring and value added and industrial development plans is exactly what...

    Don't be so sure.

    City Hall bans use of inclusive language in BA schools

    It's possible to want a nicer BA and also to think that students should learn the proper language before they start off going into US college faculty lounge-speak, or talking about how math is racist. No way! What's the expression in Spanish?

    Argentina to raise public transport fares by 40% in BA

    so at the blue rate we're up to something like 6 american cents to ride. Has to be the cheapest public transit on earth?

    Gov't will Introduce "Tourist Dollar"

    Isn't this what Cuba tried to do?

    Differences between US and Arg when raising kids around drugs

    Well, first off, Argentine teens are frequently drunkenly wandering streets and causing trouble in Buenos Aires, so I'm not sure about where you're hanging out, my friend. But, you're correct that the full scale ultras we see in SF and LA - like literal fentanyl zombies sleeping on their backs...

    Differences between US and Arg when raising kids around drugs

    I think the conclusion of that article is more that it's great to live in a village with neighbors you and and friends you trust. I grew up with hippie parents in a large city in America, and I wouldn't wish that sort of upbringing on anyone. Definitely exposure to drug-using degenerate types...

    So this is that famous inflation yall been talking about

    This was all expected. The government took the restrictions off.

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

    ^ Well, not to get too far into this particular tangent, but the middle class in America is doing awesome right now. Like everyone I know is getting raises and moving to new jobs, the market has blown our 401ks sky high, real estate values are off the chart, etc. Sure, the rich have done a lot...

    Best Fernet Brands to Try

    As a San Franciscan, drinking it in any way but neat seems insane and base to me.

    I moved from Argentina to the US 12 years ago

    I see that tongue ring thing in her mouth, and I'm thinking we made a major mistake letting that one in, and should deport her as soon as possible. Then again, I'm the parents in this situation:

    Service wants $3500 to ship my dog from EZE to Miami via American

    Have you looked at a short flight to Santiago and then flying your dog up from there with the extra airline options available?

    Argentine food for ex-baexpats

    Yeah, plus here in California, the only booze you can receive (ie. that can be shipped) from abroad is wine. And it must be shipped by a designated, licensed exporter. Ridiculous and archaic, but I have better things to grouse about.

    Argentine food for ex-baexpats

    It's a very dark thing to order booze from abroad, alas. I guess I have to hope that I can get there in March, as currently planned.

    Argentine food for ex-baexpats

    You can't get Hespiridina, Pineral, or Amargo Obrero in America for love or money.

    Argentine food for ex-baexpats

    Have you successfully had alcohol shipped to the US (or, better, California)?

    Teachers in Buenos Aires Are Striking Against Neoliberalism

    Ah yes, the Jacobin, a literal revolutionary communist publication, and one of the few non-K sources on the entire earth that would praise the Fernandez government's record and approach to governing. Articles like this make me furious, because they're just made up stuff, collecting a few facts...
