    Tonight 2024 Presidential debate between President Biden and former President Donald Trump.

    I agree with ArgieCanuk. People think too much about conspiracies, and forget about hubris and just plain stupidity. Both far more common, in my humble view.

    What are the cultural aspects that make you stay in Argentina?

    What are the cultural aspects that make you stay in Argentina?

    Amazing misinformation.... There are 273,685,000 people over 15 years old in the States, and 278,500,000 private vehicles. That is, 1.017 vehicles apiece for everyone qualified to drive. There are no bullet trains in the US - Amtrak's pride and joy is the Acela train between Washington and...

    What are the cultural aspects that make you stay in Argentina?

    I love that in Argentina everything is "personal" In the States, it is usual to defuse confrontations saying " It's not personal". Here, everything is intensely personal - down to developing personal relationships with the grocer, the plumber, and perfect strangers met on the street. I also...

    German tourist goes missing in San Juan Province.

    Third person to die in the past six years while trekking on that unimpressive little mountain. The other two slipped and fell 30 meters to their deaths. Wondering what makes it so dangerous. It is only 1000 mts. high, and the path is well marked and much used.

    Food prices are amongst the highest of the planet

    What's the use of comparing food prices in Argentina with prices in Australia or the US? Can anyone get home delivery from grocery stores in those countries? We are here so, let's either stop being here, or stop qvetching about food prices. As the Uruguayans say: "Es lo que hay".
