Praying for 3000 Oh what the hell. In for a penny, in for a pound. Paying for 5000

Then what, you ask? When the two converge, it will cause a quantum event known as a resonance cascade. Be sure you keep your crowbar handy λ

I think you took this wrong, Musicman. I wasn't throwing shade at Brazil, nor was I criticizing your choice. I was just pointing out that, historically, Argentina has been about as stable as a fart in a whirlwind. Apologies for not being more clear.

Wow. Just wow. Well, anyhow, BAExpats isn't the place for arguing US politics. so I'll decline to respond to your bon mot. smh

He's got some smooth moves, gotta hand it to him turn the sound on, if you dare

Certainly there are many topics on which I disagree with his stated opinions. When he was down here fawning over Milei, I could have gladly puked on his shoes. I mean, he's living comfortably in the USA, rolling in money, while we are struggling to pay the rent, feed ourselves, and keep the...

Excellent stuff to know, and forgive me, please, for being a sarky bastard if I say that -- "More politically & economically stable than Argentina" seems like a very low standard of comparison. I love this country, there's nowhere I'd rather be, but...

Very well said, redlobster. I never understood the logic of "NO NO NO! You can't talk to them! YOU CAN'T TALK TO THEM! Traitor! Russian asset, spy, traitor, traitor, TRAITOR!"

Oh, that is interesting. Thank you very much for posting this. Economics is complicated.

VLLC, amIright?

Thank you, Bajo, for that calm and sensible reply. You are, of course, absolutely correct that higher fuel prices drive up the price of everything, because it all has to be delivered. Again, if we are talking about Cristina, in early 2014 people were angry because nafta (gasoline, petrol), was...

I hear what you're saying, and you make some good points. But I will say it again. I'm not impressed with economic theory, or numbers on a spreadsheet. What matters to me is, can people feed their families adequately. I don't give a damn about fancy discussions at some university or think tank...

Cherrypicking, exaggeration. We all do it. According to data published at the time, inflation in 2014 was 15% and in 2015 it was 22% These were the last two years of Cristina's presidency. Also, if you look here, the only time it's been over 200% was after Milei took over
