Oh no, you're not ignored Red, we just have different points of view sometimes, I don't believe you're motivated by malicious intent the way some people are.

These people are just trolls. I've ignored (we can't block, so they still comment on my posts and get mad when I don't engage) a number of members who simply shitpost, engage in bad faith arguments, or are poorly educated. If people earnestly think Argentina was ever socialist, that it's a...

LOL. Now that's wishcasting. Akin to a balding man assuring his wife that his hair is falling out so new hair will take it's place. I'm guessing it's due to everything being so expensive compared to wages, and people having to spend their saved dollars to pay taxes/cost of living/etc. like...

You're not going to find McCormick branded ones, but as SinPulgas said, you can find generic ones. I bought mine at Jumbo.

Inflation disproportionately effect the poor but income inequality even more so. Look at Buenos Aires, a few miles from Puerto Madero which has a higher HDI than most countries on Earth and you're in Villa 31 where that Armenian guy got killed for his bicycle.

Sure, you can remote control a tablet or laptop in the US to use as a proxy to access US baking/financial institutions, but you could also just buy a dedicated US proxy and spoof your GPS or disable it too from here. I use a VPN to US specific streaming online, but have personally never had any...

DMing you some advice

This is also a good suggestion, my friend got his cats via the person who found them listing them on a poster at the pet store, and I saw some at our vet's recently.

La Matanza, well, self explanatory these days

Your best bet honestly is to find someone here (both on the forum or in Argentina) who needs pesos or dollars. I imagine if you haven't already, you're going to get someone DMing you wanting to give you USD in the US, in exchange for your USD or pesos here. You help each other out this way...

I'm sorry to hear of Rocky's passing, we have 4 cats, and they may be small, but they make a big impact in our lives. 😿 We adopted ours as street kittens from near my mother in law's place in Zona Sur. There are several groups on Facebook of neighbors who find street cats/kittens that need...

That's quite the euphemism... for forum members who aren't aware, following NATO's bombing campaign of Libya in 2011 and the coup against Gaddafi, Libya has basically become a failed state and there are multiple factions fighting over control of the country (Government of National Unity and the...

You know it's bad when Diarco is offering a "Dolar Diarco" to get people to come shopping: https://www.diarco.com.ar/dolardiarco/. it's a pretty good deal all things considered though given you can make puré by buying MEP dollars. I'm going to the US soon and will be filling my suitcase with...

If they get an ITIN from the IRS, it will be much easier for them to open an account from the get go. As Lunar said, they'll need to go in person to a branch most likely, and it's important to know that their account info will be shared w/AFIP per the US-Argentine financial sharing treaty Massa...

Correct, it was repealed this year, but was the prevailing law previously. As I said, I'm not an accountant nor a lawyer, and yes, AFIP is more interested in getting people pay something via being monotribuistas than be fully en negro, but the issue I'd caution you and others with, which your...

Yes, you are still subject to the byzantine process of bringing in your earnings legally. This means, and again, I'm not a lawyer/accountant: - You have to emit Factura E invoices - ALL your income must enter Argentina within 5 business days of being paid - This is done via the MULC and SWIFT -...

I'm gonna sound like a broken record, but 4% is still not something to celebrate; even Alberto and Massa had it down to around 6% at one point and all the LLA trolls on Twitter were calling for their heads, yet it's somehow a masterclass in economics now. I'm very doubtful about how much lower...

It's important to remember that there are 3 geographical BAs and multiple economic BAs: Geographically/Politically, there is the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, aka Capital/CABA/what most tourists and foreigners think of when someone says Buenos Aires, think Manhattan/the 5 Boroughs in NYC...

In GBA it's the suburbs up north and in the south it's gated communities. In CABA itself parts of Palermo, Belgrano, Nuñez, Colegiales, and Villa Urquiza from what I've seen.

Exactly, the man was a fusion of Latin American Corporatism (best represented by the PRI in Mexico) and Italian fascism (Mussolini). He and Isabel supported the Triple A after all, whose stated goal was the extermination of Montoneros/ERP, but this was in reality applied to basically everyone...
