    Calling 0800 from outside Argentina.

    Everybody in Argentina uses WhatsApp. I don't think 0800 numbers are relevant anymore. For most, if not all, 0800 numbers, there is a corresponding local number that you can call from outside the country. For example, see this for Personal customer service.

    Boise, Idaho anyone?

    He is making fun of you. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/boonies But seriously, if you want to stay away from coastal areas, are looking for a city with some culture and a real winter, Chicago is the only place to be. After living in Buenos Aires, you won't last in any other place...

    Protest Against Milei’s Move to Scrap Film Institute, INCAA

    Maybe your deep understanding applies to Gary, Indiana, or Akron, Ohio, but it certainly doesn't apply to Buenos Aires.

    Protest Against Milei’s Move to Scrap Film Institute, INCAA

    The army is on the government payroll. Are you against this as well? Or should the government keep funding the army but not the arts?

    Country Wide Strike..?

    You know, the trick is to know what will happen beforehand, not after it has happened. If you actually had yourself the ability to see the future, then a bit of fearmongering wouldn't bother you.

    Protest Against Milei’s Move to Scrap Film Institute, INCAA

    I think 'Relatos Salvajes' was funded by INCAA (at least partially) and was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. How is that for an audience?
