    Milei pitches US-Argentina trade deal to Trump-friendly audience

    For someone who adores Trump, Milei is incredibly stupid - Trump has been very clear for the past decade, no new FTAs; not sure why he doesn't get this...

    Coffee and cake prices

    Jumbo sometimes has them on sale for around whatever a blue dollar is/bottle, and they taste pretty good, though I personally prefer yogurt with less whey.

    Coffee and cake prices

    Insanity, right? And nope, wasn't even me that asked/he went while I was still locking the apt up as we're always conscious of this with non-fixed price services/goods. (We play to Argentine racism to be honest; if people are gonna look down at him at cheto places (or even regular stores like...

    Coffee and cake prices

    I'm convinced it's dynamic prices. Rappi probably has some sort of thing that lets companies set it so if in an hour X orders aren't made of product Y a discount of Z is applied for set number of minutes/hours.

    Coffee and cake prices

    I'm trapped here for several different reasons, and I'm just so god damn tired of paying double, triple, quadrupole, ten times US/EU prices for shitty Argentine or D quality Chinese products that most companies would be embarrassed to stock in the rest of the world. This week it was a...

    After Argentina: South America Options for Naturalized Argentine Citizens

    Glad it wasn't just my husband and I, we kept saying the traffic was far worse there than in GBA. Thank you, this is what I was curious about specifically as I believe some countries differentiate between naturalized and natural born Argentine citizens, but couldn't find anything, though I...

    Traveling while waiting for citizenship

    You applied for the citizenship in November? If so, your case will likely be resolved in November 2026, if not Austral Summer 2027, so you have nothing to worry about. I have traveled abroad several times during the naturalization process for work and pleasure and didn't have any issues.

    Moving to Argentina

    I don't have kids and I guess my bias is showing because I didn't even really consider that angle; even as young guy in his 20s moving back here permanently to be with my husband was... straining to say the least, especially now with the "adjustment" (that the caste weirdly isn't paying) I can...

    After Argentina: South America Options for Naturalized Argentine Citizens

    I'm willing to, but it's a tall ask for my husband, plus the fact that the other places I'm willing to move in Argentina are assumingly more expensive, such as Patagonia, though sleepy medium sized towns like Gualeguaychú are nice and I assume cheaper. I have the lease for 3 years so we'll see...

    How's everyone hanging in there with the cost of living these days?

    There's only three options really, right? Deflation, an exchange rate correction, or an even more brutal recession. Milei and Caputo have been kicking the can down the road for awhile, and there's now there's no more blanqueo fun money to manipulate the dollar with, so something's gotta give...

    Moving to Argentina

    Red channeling Kamala: Jokes aside, I don't disagree with him per se, hell, I just posted about looking for an out in the future when things assumingly continue going to shit and my lease is up. OP, one of two things needs to happen for me to recommend coming here that have never occurred in...

    After Argentina: South America Options for Naturalized Argentine Citizens

    Hi All, While I recently signed a 3 year lease, I'm increasingly looking at a future post Argentina as an Argentine citizen. Simply put, EVERYTHING is so expensive following the Mileiazo, and while I like Argentina (so much that I naturalized) I simply can't see a future here given how unstable...

    The Newest Caste Member of Argentina’s Biggest Reality Show!

    While filming the latest episode with TN last night they apparently did 5 takes, and that was the best one... not a good sign. The producers are really struggling, maybe escalate the salacious romance with Karina?

    Monotributista Invoicing for US-Based Work – Payment & Tax Questions!

    I'm not a lawyer/accountant here nor in the US, but I'm guessing they're hiring you as a contractor, even if you lived in the US, right? If so, then there will be no implications for them, though if you're a US citizen you'll have to figure out the tax/SS implications for yourself

    Monotributista Invoicing for US-Based Work – Payment & Tax Questions!

    Hi, This question gets asked frequently and the answer is always the same: if you do things legit you will lose hundreds of dollars each month due to fees upon fees. The overwhelming majority of Argentines working abroad work in gris, they pay taxes, but they don't follow the regulations, which...

    Crypt coin shared by Argentina's President Javier Milei skyrocketed Friday, then collapsed

    Myself and several other frequent posters for the past year: "I don't know guys, I want to believe Milei, but it seems like a giant ponzi scheme what he's doing with the peso, carry trade, crawling peg, etc." Milei: Literally proceeds to hype a ponzi scheme/pump 'n dump on Twitter this weekend...

    A coffee for $3.50: Argentina is the most expensive country in Latin America

    I think the major problem is that things are expensive AND prices continue to rise, just slower. If we had US/EU prices and annual inflation of around 3%-7% that'd be one thing, but as of January we're still looking at 26.4% annualized inflation projected forward; the $3.50 coffee is going to...

    A coffee for $3.50: Argentina is the most expensive country in Latin America

    I was in Brazil for a conference and went to the pharmacy as I had run out of one of my medications. 90 pills, 3 month's supply: $3.49 USD Meanwhile, here in Argentina, 50 pills, not even 2 months' worth is $20,809.25 ARS ($17.34 USD) I have to go back next month and I'm thinking of brining...

    Just arrived: Cash, tips, and ATM woes

    ATMs here are generally a scam, they charge upwards of $12 USD, and as lunar said, have a low max withdraw limit for non clients. If I remember correctly, it's 60K, so even if you found one to spit out 20K bills you're only getting 3 of them while paying ~10 USD for the "convenience"

    A coffee for $3.50: Argentina is the most expensive country in Latin America

    The Milei Trollcenters are working overtime as the international normally pro-Milei media is even calling him to task: how can a developing country have the second most expensive Big Mac in the world, and most expensive in LatAm? Turns out "tax pressure" is the reason according to the Mileistas...
