    Does anyone else feel there might be a peso collapse this year?

    This, exactly. Milei is a con artist with an ego the size of Texas, and a puppet of foreign interests. A cipayo of the worst sort. Hipolito Irigoyen said it 100 years ago, "I do not fear those outside who wish to buy us, as much as those inside who wish to sell us".

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    Maybe in your neighborhood, and if so, congratulations. It's not like that here. There's only one I know of, and they charge an arm and a leg. That said, I don't buy ready to eat food. I buy it raw and cook it myself, because that's all I can afford.

    Traders bet on weaker Argentine peso as Milei’s IMF deal looms

    Ok, Luke, excellent observations Now, can you repeat that but in terms you'd use to explain it to a not-too-bright 14-year old? Try it, please. Just as an exercise.

    This has been mentioned before, but if they can afford to offer a 30% discount for using a certain method of payment on a certain day of the week, then yes, their profit margins are massive. And I do wholeheartedly agree that people deserve better.

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    There's always somebody who has to bring politics into it. This is why we can't have nice conversations.

    Does anyone else feel there might be a peso collapse this year?

    The train is a colorful analogy, and one which bears a large measure of truth. The question about the IMF is harder to answer. The question you ask about how can Argentina ever repay the debt then begs another question, what is the IMF really about? Why do they exist, and what is their raison...

    Climate in Argentina

    What part of the country are you in? You say "out here" so I assume that means you're not in CABA.

    Aaaand right back up to 1280 today In other words, the gov't spent a bunch of dollars to stomp it down yesterday, but the pressures driving it upwards are still there.

    Goodness, how embarrassing.

    Argentina makes international news for...cops beating up old people.

    Yeah, they went apeshit overboard today, They had the steel barricades up all around both the Casa Rosada and the Hall of Congress, several blocks of streets closed off, a couple subway stations closed, and a massive number of cops out to menace those incredibly dangerous seniors, who clearly...

    Does anyone else feel there might be a peso collapse this year?

    I wasn't seriously wishing for 5000. With respect, I'm not sure I agree with your analysis. First, we have seen many times that a jump in the blue dollar will cause increased prices even though the official dollar remains substantially unchanged. Second, I doubt that we will ever see a...

    I'm seeing it back down to 1285, where it started the day. But I do believe Joddson is correct; once the actual run starts, there will be no stopping it.

    Argentina makes international news for...cops beating up old people.

    There is something seriously wrong with these people. Yes. But surely that has been evident from the very start. For example, when that group of the leading lights of LLA went to visit the prison for a grinning group photo with some of the worst of those imprisoned for "genocide" during the...

    Tomato industry staggers under an avalanche of cheaper imports

    Well done! So what is pebre like? I wish I had access to a coop like that. There is a "feria" that sets up at the square here in Northern Villa Urquiza every other Saturday, but their prices are nothing to get excited about, not at all. They charge 90-95% as much as the local verdulero, and...

    Argentina makes international news for...cops beating up old people.

    It is my considered opinion that the whole Left-Right paradigm was a 20th century way of looking at things. Today, it's just a distraction. The great struggle of the 21st century is the ultra-rich against the rest of humanity.
