Are you all flying business and first class all the time? Who are you guys? No wonder there is some dissonance between people here, and conurbano...

You were actually right on the topic with first paragraph, albeit unintentionally. The scale of prices jump we are seeing isn't adjustment, it's extortion. Not everyone in the country, and certainly not the ones in the power, are willing to participate in the rebuild. It is basically war...

Exactly! I flew with every European carrier that flyes here in last decade, except level, because all of them were the cheapest option at some point. Almost 10 different companies, but never were aerolíneas even close. Usually even delta and Canadian were cheaper. Never understood if they just...

OK, that's way above my league, but also downstairs isn't bad. I wanted to buy business during covid, because it was really cheap, only twice more than economy, but couldn't force myself. It's still money I can use for days of vacations.

It is pretty crazy at the moment. There is no such thing as generally cheaper shop, it depends on the product. I found all chains more expensive than chinos, which wasn't mostly the case before. And of course prices in different chinos are not the same. I saw like 50% difference on some...

If anything, it was cheaper. I've never flown to Europe with Aerolíneas, because they are often among the most expensive carriers. Lufthansa is the cheapest at the moment.

Correct. Had to "clean" lots of those old ones few years back... Luckily in Europe no one cares, and banks are willing to order you crisp new ones for Argentina.

Could be, of course, but I am pretty sure we will not see it firsthand. I am not inclined to hypothetical solutions, that might work, especially the ones, that are hard to retract, and can have very devastating consequences. Everyone is stating how bad politics in Argentina is, so they need some...

Not that I'm against floating, I just don't agree it wasn't catastrophic already. It's not widely visible yet, and people are hoping on huge salaries adjustments, so there is relative calmness, but for many is already devastating. There was already 20% cut in population spending in December, and...

The pace is crucial. Hypothetically it's the same, in real life it isn't. I don't know where you see double standard, like I would advocate for slow dying through inflation. No, I'm advocating to address the problems causing the inflation, because if you solve those, dolarization doesn't have...

It has always been... Milei didn't even try to hide it, he was loud about it. And the poor still voted him. It's already happening. Producers are getting peanuts for their products, end consumers are paying top money for them, the cream is harvested by chosen few...

No, it was opposite, they forcibly pesified people's usds in banks, with the rate 1.4 peso for usd. Inflation hit soon after, so basically people easily lost more than 50% of their money. Not all of course, you can imagine. Now there aren't many dolars on accounts in my opinion, but if...

I cannot even fathom the scale of this project. And the cost of it, of course. I don't think it's possible, but if there will be attempt, it will prove extremely harmful to population, because government will literally need to steal from people, to pull it through. You need to borrow all the...

If. If traffic laws will be obeyed, if jobs will be en blanco, if most taxes will be paid, if other laws would be resorted,.. Argentina would not have many troubles left. It would be normal developed country.

In provincia they are fairly common, lately I get only those, around 500k already.

500€ notes are still fairly common, I am still getting them from banks, so ECB obviously doesn't put much effort in removing them. Main reasons to remove high denomination bills from circulations are connected with crime fighting, but as we see with dollars, it doesn't really work. Crime will...

This was working till 2 digits inflation, and before widespread digital payments. Now it's just inconvenience to carry bunch of worthless papers, that takes forever to count, not to mention the cost of manipulation for businesses and state. To get 1 mio usd worth of peso to the bank is now...

Well described, and similar as I see it. Why I said employers should bare bigger burden? Simply, because it's way easier to control them. That is, after the government make the right moves you are mentioning. In normal countries repercussions are so dire, that no employer will risk someone in...

In general, there is nothing wrong with them, and in certain countries they work very well. While they have some positive impact in Argentina also, I find some of them too powerful, and damaging, and some too weak to do anything. What you get is huge disparity in working rights between different...

Somehow you mistake me for union guy, which I'm not. Have never been part of any union, in Argentina or elsewhere. I'm for strict implementation of already existing rules, work in black as the biggest task. You don't leave people to choose if to pay taxes or not, and you do that through...
