    Is the expat party coming to an end?

    What gap? I am under the impression that following "liberalization", there will be a single exchange rate determined by the market, no?

    People will stop getting old? Or die out without free medicine?

    Economists warn electing Milei would spell devastation

    So, it's not really about fraud or irregularities during the elections; rather, you believe you know what's best for Argentinians, Russians, and everyone else.

    Economists warn electing Milei would spell devastation

    Would it be OK if Milei becomes a president through fraud? I believe that to scream 'Fraud!' one should at least wait until after the elections have started. I'm aware that this has never stopped Donald Trump from making such claims, but regardless, it's a reasonable approach. As for inviting...

    Folded US $100 bills

    In a legal, regulated, but free marketplace, they should also be able to do what they want. It is objectively more difficult to detect counterfeit notes in case of dollars with "cara chica". If they receive bills that nobody wants to buy, they would have to bring them to a bank in the States...

    Economists warn electing Milei would spell devastation

    It's like saying that using a guillotine is the only way to get rid of a headache. So, what do we have now? On one side, there's an attempt to scare people with the threat of devastation if Milei becomes president. On the other side, there are threats of a dictatorship and a military coup if...

    Foreign credit cards purchases at MEP rate

    If she purchases from a Mexican site with a foreign card, there will be no Argentine payment processor involved. Prices are displayed in Argentine pesos solely for convenience. I bet she can switch the price display to euros on the webpage and the prices will be shown in euros.

    Foreign credit cards purchases at MEP rate

    My assumption is that your card will be simply charged in euros at the official rate. In this scenario, Argentine pesos are merely used as a reference, and no actual conversion to or from pesos will occur.

    Western Union Not Close to Blue

    You are not getting around US$200 quota. You are limited to buying up to 200 USD at the official rate. You cannot purchase more dollars at this rate. If you need more dollars, you can buy some securities in Argentina using pesos, transfer them to a U.S. broker, and then sell them there for...

    Presidential debate Massa vs Millei 9PM. Last one before election.

    This is not a random poll. It's possible that Milei supporters visited the TN webpage and voted for him as a way to show their support after his defeat. :)

    US debt and recession + Social Security + CBDCs – any thoughts?

    Can a household simply print this $5.5 million to cover the debt?

    English TV Stations - cable tv question

    Personal Flow offers at least CNN and Fox News, both of which are the international versions. Therefore, while they provide English-speaking content, the programming may not be identical to what they broadcast in the USA. Additionally, probably there is an option to subscribe to American...

    +66% inflation in dollars from one contract to the next.

    Your rent increase likely isn't about inflation. The demand for rentals is up because of complicated geopolitical situation elsewhere.

    The Case For President Sergio Massa

    You will be forced to use it. They will say: "Starting next month, all salaries will be paid in digital peso. You can access your money using our convenient Central Bank Wallet app, which offers payment capabilities via QR codes, similar to MercadoPago, and instant transfers to other people."...

    Covid Vaccination Argentina

    This guy says that I'm sorry to say this, but his firing was well-deserved. He probably has a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature or something, yet he speaks about Genetics, I think. Covid vaccines are not gene therapies. Correction: He has PhD in Biotechnology. Even worse.

    Where to vote tomorrow.

    Certainly. Counterfeiters will thank you.

    Could Milei win in the first round?

    Even if the candidate who lost urges his supporters to vote for candidate A, they might still decide to vote for candidate B instead. I believe that Massa's supporters would be more likely to vote for Milei than for Bullrich. The same goes for Bullrich's supporters.

    Science is under threat in Argentina — we must call out the danger

    I, for one, do believe that the funding of fundamental science should be the responsibility of the government. Whether the Argentinean government can afford this is a separate issue. On the other hand, research into additives for toothpaste, for example, should be financed by the respective...

    Could Milei win in the first round?

    Long enough. So, you're a self-proclaimed spokesperson for the trade unions, huh? If you guys are strongly opposed to Milei and so powerful, why don't you prevent him from being elected in the first place? Why wait until after the elections?"
