    Biden dropping out of 2024 race and will endorse Harris this week

    Trump won't debate her. He is now the old guy who might not make it to the end of his term. The optics aren't good for him. Kamala was a former prosecutor and knows how to get under his skin. She won't get rattled, but he will lose it.

    Restaurants new law: obligatory tip up to 18%

    I never got shit service in Argentina. It's not the turn and burn service people are used to on some cultures, but we were always treated courteously and professionally. The customer's attitude does affect service, though.

    Argentina Economy Posts Best Month Under Milei

    Relying on Ag to save your bacon is hit or miss, depending on the weather. It's great as a sector, but it can't be the only thing. The same is true for extraction industries. Sooner or later the next best thing comes along and all that oil/lithium/coal/etc. will be obsolete. Better to use these...

    Is the Milei "Transformation" Failing Already?

    Is the Milei "Transformation" Failing Already?

    I said usually. And I agree about Germany. They, like Argentina, also faced unsustainable debt levels which was one of, if not the leading cause, of hyperinflation. Venezuelan inflation was caused by economic sanctions which Argentina has yet to experience, although one might argue protectionist...
