    Argentina's "anything-but-Libertarian exchange controls..." IMF meets in BsAs

    I said earlier that he was trying to borrow even more from the IMF, but the Mileistas here denied it...

    Argentina Takes Steps to Dollarize and Holds Key Rate

    It's a complicated subject, that's for sure. There are wild claims in both directions, and no way to tell who's blowing smoke up our collective ass.

    Climate in Argentina

    Ugh, sympathies. 28c with not even a fan can be damned unpleasant, especially with the humidity we have here. How are the mosquitoes out there? And what's a quincho?

    The Guardian view on Argentina’s austerity year

    Well, that's a different take than what I would have expected from the Guardian. What happened to fawning over Milei's "economic miracle"? Perhaps the honeymoon is over.

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    I think there's a lot of truth in that. The two cuisines I grew up with were American Midwestern (meat and potatoes and two vegetables), and Mexican food, (refried beans, Spanish rice, tortillas, carne asada, carnitas, pozole, menudo, chiles rellenos, etc). The former, courtesy of my father's...

    IMF Publishes Grim Evaluation of Argentina’s $44 Billion Deal

    Milei's economic policies are looking more and more like a repeat of Macri, especially the whole "selling dollars to hold down the blue" scam. Now let's see if the IMF will repeat their past mistakes.

    Climate in Argentina

    Looking at the two week forecast, they're predicting a high of 38c next Thursday, the 16th. Hopefully that will come down as the date approaches. 38 is disastrous, the power starts to go off over large parts of the city and you just want to die.

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    Fish & chips wrapped in an old newspaper and dripping with grease = heaven, while it's still hot. Nobody does it like in the UK. But there are all sorts of things you can build upon a bed of properly fried potatoes - chili fries, gravy fries, poutine... Jesus, now I'm hungry. But agreed that...

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    Limp and undercooked seems to be the norm here. Back when I lived in Retiro and I used to eat at the little Parrilla La Soñada once a week or so, I would always ask for my papas "bien dorado" and they would fry them up nice and golden for me. It was one of the many things I used to love about...

    Outgoing US ambassador Marc Stanley praises Cristina

    I can respect that, but I find Libertarians and Conservatives to be indistinguishable in their practical manifestation. I acknowledge and understand the differences in doctrine and theory, but when it comes to the practical effects of their policies, both favor the rich and screw the poor...

    Outgoing US ambassador Marc Stanley praises Cristina

    Let's try this the other way "At least he speaks Castellano, hates conservatives, and has met Cristina" How does that make you feel?

    Access control clerk

    Well, yeah, but presumably, from the sound of it, it's just sitting on your butt using a PC. I would look into it, if I was in a position to do so. Another 600K pesos a month would do wonders for my financial situation. Delivering Rappi is dangerous work, and either involves a lot of physical...

    Outgoing US ambassador Marc Stanley praises Cristina

    Approximately 1/3 of all US ambassadors are political appointees, and you're right. They're amateurs, appointed as a political plum. IIRC, the previous ambassador had a chain of cheap furniture stores, and before Argentina was without an ambassador for about 8 years, because ... who knows...
