Brilliant! Perfectly stated. And funny as shite. Thanks!

That's as good an excuse for mediocrity as any other, I guess.

Re "Trying to flex individual "wealth" on a public forum as somehow being relevant to this government policy" Of course it never is! Esp in Latin America.

I better like this. No one else will!

Re “don't expect a red carpet welcome.” Well, ok. Let’s see if I can arrange that for a wealthy party of 10 friends who want to visit CABA from NYC in Jan., assuming El Presidente so decrees. I’ll be back.

Re: “every one who's not at the top is a slave” Yes. This is fundamentally true globally. This reality may be sugar-coated in the West, but the smart, connected, ambitious always win. There is Mr Bezos and their are the folks (soon to be machines) that pack his many, many boxes. I’m simply...

Re: "governments (in this country anyway) like airlines, like tourism industries, tend to think more about oceans than drops." Then why endanger your precious ocean with a few well-heeled Brazilian tourist "drops" by allowing tourists from neighboring countries? Because everyone likes $$$. Even...

Re: "few rich and entitled ... are not the bulk of the global industry" They are--and always have been--all that matters. In everything but religion and war. You need cheap human fodder for both.

The young and wealthy want to travel. I know of many USA citizens who would welcome the chance to come to Argentina, especially combined with a trip to Brazil. Most of these folks are internet execs or entrepreneurs. Plenty of funds, able to easily secure insurance, make all arrangements at...

I was able to send to an Argentine bank account yesterday.

Yes, they should. At this point, why not? Open up to free-spending USD- and Euro-laden tourists.

This https://apnews.com/ and a few custom Google News filters.

Enough are. And more every day! https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/iq-rates-are-dropping-many-developed-countries-doesn-t-bode-ncna1008576

Oh, there are all sorts of fun (and profitable) requirements Argentina could impose on wealthy USA/European citizens who want to visit. No one over the age of 70 admitted. And no fatties! Of course, PCR, proof of insurance required. Better, force them to buy local health insurance. Most...

If indeed Argentina is planning to open Oct 30 for Brazilians and their reals/USDs, then I believe the country will open—with protocols—for US/Euro citizens (and their wads of cash) by year end. At some point economics trumps all.

Thanks. Then there is some hope of allowing in folks from USA--and their wads of dollars--sometime this summer. At this point, why not?

Thanks very much for the info, dsp. So, Oct 30--as stated in the article--is the date for allowing citizens of neighboring countries to enter CABA for 10 days. This is contrary to this article in BA Times, which says a date has not yet been determined--that it would be "this summer" sometime...

My sister, 60, and a friend, 66, both had it. Each recovered in less than a week. At present, who’s getting it in Recoleta and Palermo Chico/Botanico? Is it confined primarily to the poor and elderly?

I’m a bit confused. Is this the directive cited in the article? If so, I can’t see any mention of October 30. https://www.boletinoficial.gob.ar/detalleAviso/primera/236498/20201026 It does say this, however: ”likewise, this measure extends the prohibition of entry into the national territory...
