    Changes to naturalization law in pipeline?

    This reminds me about laws to make it illegal to vote in the US for non-citizens, which is already a crime. Anyone on this forum who has naturalized (or is in the process of doing so) knows he is advocating something that is de facto enforced: Proposed Amendment: Be 18 years of age or older...

    Milei Wants Argentines to Dollarize the Economy for Him

    I'm a he for what it's worth, and I agree w/ @FrankPintor and @Ries , we didn't run for president, Milei did. That being said, I'll share some of my ideas: Agree with basically everything Ries said about how punitive and regressive taxes are here on average people. We should be taxing rich...

    Milei Wants Argentines to Dollarize the Economy for Him

    I'm very aware of this, it's Milei and his fans that appear to be struggling with the mathematics of getting blood from a stone. Check my post history, I've been saying since he announced his candidacy that he's a bullshitting liar because not only was dollarization a bad idea, it wasn't...

    70% of workers in Argentina earning under 550k pesos a month

    He's making fun of Milei's endogenous dollarization idea, which can't happen when 70% of the country earns less than $500/month.

    70% of workers in Argentina earning under 550k pesos a month

    70% of Argentines earn less than $458/month, now that's a sign of a healthy economy! VLLC!

    Argentine human rights museum under fire

    Funny how the Venn diagram of people who "question" the dictatorship's murders and people who "question" whether 6 million people were killed in the holocaust tends to be a circle.

    PR processing time

    You don't need an immigration lawyer for that, but I digress. I applied for my permanent residency DNI via marriage to an Argentine citizen (familiar residency enablement like yourself) and it took about 5 months. I did it via RadEx and live in Buenos Aires (CABA) and didn't use a lawyer, and...

    Did you do it here in Buenos Aires via RadEx?

    Milei accused of plagiarising UN speech from West Wing

    Wait, you're telling me the guy who spends all day retweeting posts by DieFeministScum88 on Twitter is dumb enough to plagiarize a West Wing speech, and even dumber in not realizing West Wing is simultaneously crack and the bible to the liberal media, so they'd know the episode of the top of...

    Is Cristina on the comeback trail?

    It's important to remember that Peronism is a 3rd way political philosophy that isn't left wing or right wing; Cristina's slate within the PJ is more "progressive", sure, but to call it the left is extremely inaccurate, especially when there is an actual alliance (albeit small) of left wing...

    Milei Wants Argentines to Dollarize the Economy for Him

    The power of positive thinking I guess? I know I've debated this with other forum members previously, but endogenous dollarization assumes that the overwhelming majority of Argentines have dollars freely available to be liquidated that will enter in to the macroeconomy of which all Argentines...

    Converging Dollars

    AKA the Carry Trade/bicicleta financiera. Just don't get caught riding it when the market aligns with reality, as it did god knows how many times previously. (People got rich/richer thanks to it though, so it is possible)

    In 10+ years I've yet to come across them thankfully. Let's hope it stays that way

    Rent Control: Learning from Argentina and the Netherlands

    Nope. It increased supply (though I imagine owners desperate for income had that effect too), but like everything else rent is more expensive.

    Going back to the US soon. Anything I should know about my computer?

    Is it a laptop or desktop? If it's a laptop, just like elhombresinnombre said, you're likely fine since 90%+ of all electronics are dual rated, just check on the power supply brick for 100-240, while if it's a desktop you can check by opening the PC case and see the PSU label like the following...

    Milei promises good times lie ahead

    That rally and the BBQ in Olivos really does The Proud: Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Watching Mileistas defend the very behavior they previously criticized Cristina for has been interesting.

    What's the reality of safety in Buenos Aires?

    The amount of scammers is crazy here, I made it easy to filter them out by saying we'd meet in front of the comisaria near my old apt when selling user goods. Also, always cash only, and avoid dollars if you can as the number of fakes are very high, someone tried paying me with fake ones before...

    A bit lost: Applying for a Family reunification visa, Radex application next?

    It only takes about 3-4 months to go from Precaria to DNI as the spouse of an Argentine. In the middle of COVID even it only took me 4.5 months
