This is a 'Shock Therapy 101' example of how it was implemented in Russia. I guess you can already see some analogies and get a general idea of where it is likely to go.

I would say that if you are reasonably healthy, it used to cost around 50 USD per month for people in their thirties and up to 350 USD for people in their eighties. With the recent increase, you should multiply these numbers by 1.4.

From what I can (barely) understand, the fundamental approach to interpreting private contracts in relation to the law has changed. Unless the law is worded in a very specific manner (which is not often the case), the private contract takes precedence. This renders many laws, including rental...

Have you read "Outline of Coverage B 21904 OC" they are referring to here under "Lump Sum Cancer Insurance"? (Sorry for caps) Are you supposed to have a primary medical insurance?

1000 of what?

A breach between what and what exactly? It seems like the logical next step would be to establish true convertibility with a unified exchange rate to the dollar. Naturally, this should be at the 'blue dollar' price, since this reflects the market rate.

Many "shock therapy" programs implemented in Eastern Europe after the collapse of communism were quite similar, in my opinion. No dollarization, of course, but these efforts involved the privatization of inefficient state-run companies. See, for example, Balcerowicz Plan in Poland and 500 Days...

And who eats in those restaurants? Tourists?

So, are you suggesting that within two years, Argentinians will earn wages similar to Americans in order to afford US-level prices? I don't know any example of shock therapy that would not result in an immediate economic downturn. Therefore, even with proper execution, which is uncertain at...

I don't quite understand what this movie marathon is about. A guy has a 5205 USD pension, which is quite impressive by the way. To grant a retirement visa, immigration asks him to transfer around 800 USD into his own account in Argentina. It looks like a one-time requirement. There's a good...

I think it is still 12.5k pesos for non-Mercosur residents. https://www.argentina.gob.ar/interior/migraciones/cuadro-tasas-migratorias

I have trouble understanding why you blame Macri. He was on his way out at that time. It was a reaction of the Central Bank to the plummeting peso following the PASO results.

Could you please make up your mind: lifted or reinstated?

Why is everyone discussing the CCL in the WU thread? Does anyone have insights into the internal workings of WU? They might be hedging with futures or employing other strategies, for instance.

In an ideal situation, a president is elected based on their proposed plan for national transformation, not simply as a consequence of protest voting.

Have you actually seen anything resembling a plan? I believe he just thinks that if he manages to eliminate government involvement in the economy and other areas, things will magically improve by themselves. Besides, wasn't Macri trying to create a more business-friendly environment as well...
