Maybe, but employee rights are way below of most EU countries, where strangely this barrier isn't posing much of a problem. We won't pretend basic stuff Argentina has is preventing job creation and investments, that's first class bullshit. I guess Bangladesh is example Argentina should follow?

It's a real life monopoly. Early stage is all fun, opportunity and prosperity, later stages are all suffering for most and hoarding for few, until one grabs it all. Argentina is somewhere in the middle, corporations already control most of the market, except retail and services. It's...

Not an expert, but that is easy one. Happened often in this time of the year, before paritarias, this year it's just much more problematic due to recent changes. A lot is going on and is hard to get through everything, but in general what we are seeing is businesses trying to cut loses in front...

Milei can be determined all he wants, if he is printing, dólar will go up. If it's not available to everyone at official rate through official channels, we'll have double exchange rate. I understand it's a process, but government can't throw fit every time usd jumps. I'm afraid milei was so...

Never found it very profesional, even a bit barbaric. Putting random people to decide someone's faith. True I only saw it in movies, but can't see much pros in such system.

I wouldn't worry about reduced expenditure. Many are forced to reduction. I see people wandering around shops, basically just watching, going out with few pesos worth of items. I bought some decent wine and some other stuff, bill came to 27k, and the seller double checked the screen, almost...

It did not exist yet? I don't think Don Julio is an example to measure inflation, especially not in such a long time span. In 2013 it was known, but nothing very special, tourist place with good meat. I could afford it and was a stingy bastard back then. Last time I ate there was end of 2015...

Everyone for sure has more than one reason to live where he lives, but the price of lifestyle someone expects is for sure deciding factor. I'm sure many places are much cheaper already in Argentina, and expats don't live there. Fact is many have certain amount of money they can't change, so some...

I don't understand this dolarization hype. You are basically saying my country is not grown enough to manage basic things like own currency. You pass big part of your sovereignty to the country that doesn't give a single thought to you nor you could shape any policy, measure, nothing. Own...

Let's not forget the best spy device ever, which collects all of those personal info, and much more. In combination with dna tests I don't really know what more could you give away. Working for one international company from that field I can assure you there is basically free flow of all this...

Wonder what became of him. Hope he dropped this nonsense and found some real job.

I lived in Spain, and am often there due to work, and I wouldn't really agree Spanish people having bad time. Not all is perfect of course, but relatively low salary gets you through pretty good, and there is plenty of work for anyone willing to. They might complain a lot, but they do that...

Turbulent times ahead, without doubt. While almost everyone here has some advantage regular Argentinian doesn't have, we all can lose something dear to us. Some have families to worry about, some earn in pesos, some like lifestyle they managed to establish here, some might have new opportunities...

True, no one is denying that. What at least I want to say is, that many that voted Milei will turn against him at first inconvenience. They will go to the steets at first occasion, and we will see how it'll turn out. I hope it will stay at marching around, and not turn to the widespread...

That's naive. Ignorant will not easily understand Milei's program. Ignorant doesn't understand terms such as libertarian, free market, contract based society, dollarisation etc. He might understand some words, but not a process behind. And media never really explained those things in lay man's...

I mean, I was concerned from before first cepo and extreme regulations, but of course wax constantly dismissed by "you don't understand, it's Argentina" (not on this forum of course). From day one it was obvious where this will lead, although I was expecting the shift earlier. It's true it was...

What did I just read... Just because the gang was throwing scraps around, that accidently hit some poor and mostly rich on the way, you call them socialist/marxist? It is pure populism, without any ideology behind. Argentina never had anything remotely socialist in power. And who thinks that...

That's the problem, it doesn't have to be too painful for the ones already on the edge. It's already painful, more is over the edge and no future for no son. That the country poorly manages subsidies is no guilt of the poor. That I get electricity bill of few dolars, while spending equivalent...

I certainly hope none of this will happen. I also believe it won't, if he will be reasonable and relentless where needed.

There are different shades of poverty, and no government can take this topic lightly. Milei at the moment sounds like he is not taking the matter seriously. It's one thing people can't afford some luxury, whole other if they can't afford basics. Till now we should agree poor in Argentina could...
