    Traveling to the USA with cash

    I thought you don't need to declare $10K or under. I'd be most worried about being stopped by the cops either here or the US. They say they smell mariquana in your car and proceed with a search. The cash is then subject to civil forfeiture. You'd be better to offload the dollars to an eager...

    Are there no more repatration flights to the US from Argentina?

    I read in this post, regular flights have been postponed for 60 days and someone else posted that they couldn't book flights to around a mid-October departure date. https://baexpats.org/threads/argentina-re-opening-international-flights-in-august.42726/post-391821

    Joe Biden picks running mate.

    Shaun King, the civil rights activist, wrote this about Joe and Kamala: And then there's this. Keeping prisoners locked up to use as cheap labor for fire fighting. What's that thing called when you force someone to work against their will with minimum compensation (Hint: starts with an 'S')...

    The pandemic: The view after 5 months

    The common cold comes from a limited number of corona and rino viruses. The've never been able to develop a vaccine for the common cold despite it causing more productivity losses than perhaps any other illness. Many immunologists have been saying from the onset that a vaccine is unlikely. The...

    How are people in BA surviving with this lockdown and recession?

    When I was on the roof of my apartment building, one of my neighbors offered me a toke. Nothing like sharing a joint in the age of Covid.

    Joe Biden picks running mate.

    Yes the Biden / Harris ticket is definitely NOT Populist. Trump is Populist. Biden / Harris are classic Neo-Liberals. And Yes Macri was NOT "mostly capitalist" but rather as much of a capitalist as could be elected in Argentina which is virtually none at all, viz. the public sector portion of...

    New rapid diagnostic test developed by ARG scientists

    All these tests mentioned are PCR tests that test the presence of COV-19, i.e. whether you are currently infected. I'm interested in the antibody test that indicate you were infected and have immunity (maybe call it "Neocuerpo Kit"). Antibodies indicate some level of immunity contrary to Bajo...

    BA Real Estate market to take a dive before the end of the year.

    In the USA, most loans are allowed a 6 month forebearance - no questions asked - followed by a possible additional 6 month forebearance. So it will be at least a year before real price declines occur.

    What ever happened to...

    I was working in Japan when Ghosn and his Renault merged with Nissan and for a couple of years he was like a superstar - this was mainly because there were very few cases of foreigners leading Japanese companies. I think part of the reason that Ghosn fell out of favor was that Nissan car quality...

    What Happens if a Tourist gets COV-19? Insurance Options

    I didn't mean to imply I would go back to my home country if I got COV-19, but rather if I can't get private insurance. Are there any options as a tourist for getting private insurance? Most travel insurance requires you to take cover before you start your trip. I ended up getting Global Nomads...

    What Happens if a Tourist gets COV-19? Insurance Options

    If a tourist gets COV-19, I assume they would go to a public hospital whether they wanted to or not. I'm also guessing that private hospitals are not accepting non-members unlike in the past. I called an eye clinic and was told they are only treating members. Are there any options for someone...
