Far too risky for me. Have you witnessed the health care provided by the hospitals run by the government? I have medical care from Hospital Italiano. Following a mugging in 2019, I was obligated to get X-rays at Hospital Penna. I was so happy that after a minor rough up, I could walk in...

The tough thing about hikes in private medical plans is the difficulty in changing plans for those over 70 years old. Only Hospital Italiano offered me coverage at age 69.

Does anyone care to comment about investments open to Argentine citizens? I am a US citizen and can invest using a US based brokerage firm to hold shares in corporations based in Asia, N America, Europe, as well as bonds. My Argentine friend is anxious about receiving proceeds of her apartment...

What is the audience for INCAA supported films? The 15 people that attend Cine Gaumont paying 500 pesos to enter? One could argue that any government money has a multiplier effect. Why does the US defense budget keep growing? Because congressmen want the employment, wages, and taxes that...

Can anyone recommend a customs broker? I had a modest crate shipped to ARG in 2018, and there is now work that remains to unlock the insurance policy through a customs process. The objective is to clear the path so I can get my caution policy deposit back. The whole process, messed up under...

I must be the dumbest Yanqui in Argentina. I pay Argentine taxes. Two local accountants were in accord on Argentine tax consequences of social security income. They treated my US Social Security income as taxable. It is taxable also in the sense that my income exceeds the threshold that...

Argentine friends are going to LA for a vacation. They want to buy a laptop with a Spanish keyboard. Any suggestions? No, they do not want to buy a laptop with a standard USA qwerty keyboard, and then reconfigure it to Spanish with software. My google search just yields laptops with US...

In 2023 a cheap quartz watch new sells for under $5000 pesos. I would rather have that on my wrist than have a phone in my hand worth hundreds of USD. And grabbing a phone is so easy compared to getting a watch off. I rarely carry a phone unless it is needed. When on the street, all my...

There seem to be many threads on tango, but elderly family members will be in Bs. As. in October, and they want to see some tango. It would be good to see tango with real bandoleon musicians, indoors, with seating, and top class dancers. I have seen a tango show with lots of wild circus...
