Reis, if we are going to keep agreeing then there is nothing to discuss. However I do think there are some real points to disagree on! I don't worry about the dollar dying immediately. That actually *might* be good thing. What I worry about are the effects of depression on a generation of...

Actually Ries, the USD has had 4 distinct iterations, it has died several times. Ever heard of a continental? Then there was the bi-metal dollar (gold and silver) then the gold standard dollar, and finally the fiat dollar introduced in phases. You do raise a good point, the word "die" has many...

All fiat currencies die. Then again all currencies die, so fiat is just a subset. The USD will die. Its just a matter of when. The problem is that economic empires collapse from the outside in and the US is the center hub. The dollars death knell won't arrive until after the Euro/Yen/Pound and...

Its amazing what conspiracy theories get repeated here. When I was in BA I had some great discussions with folks about what is going on in the world. Especially people I'd met here. Now and then I come back to check in and see whats being said. I just can't fathom the intellectually broken...

Why do you advertise this two days after I leave? Seriously did you plan to fuck with me like that? Oh well at least I got great bagels during my first month in BA.

There is a product called wine away. Can you get it here? I have it at home and it smells mostly like citric acid.

Just had breakfast there. I can say it was good. Food was good, service was good, even the coffee was good. Its expensive, but then again what targeted at Yanquis isn't? I would definitely go back, though not till I've hit the gym a few times. Josh

As a derivative/bonus question what is the average spread that the Casa de cambios charge in BSAS?

fifs and marksoc. Why not use this as a teaching moment to hi-light why it would be more disastrous than the quickly boiling frog policies you have now? I'm not being glib I'm quite serious. I'm an expat and I have the ultimate luxury of escape, most Argentines don't. So tell me in human terms...

Well Bradly if you had sold pesos when I posted then bought them when you did, you could have made a lot of money. Of course there is a wee matter of leverage, but I'm sure there is a way to get that in forex trading!

XE.com lists the rate at 4.03/1. They are ususally very accurate.

Funny thing, when someone says Mexico, I don't include TJ. My parents lived near Primotapia until 2 years ago when my dad passed away. On another note, welcome to BA! You're going to love it here, maybe.

Is there a black market currently for dollars?

Though those poor folks in Kansas say, "well at least I'm not one of those poor sodding bastards from West Virginia, that's poor."

Why don't we just have a meetup here saturday morning? Those coming off a night of clubbing can join those of us too cranky to go clubbing.

Listen for the group speaking English?
