I'm sick of dealing with nasty realtors thinking they have a right to an arm, a leg, and my first born son for showing me a rental apartment if I can even convince them to get off their ass, and I'm sick of dealing with Airbnb and the dishonest vermin that infest the platform. I went scorched...

https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/story-on-argentina-president-elect-converting-to-judaism-walked-back/ I guess the press release that he converted has been retracted.

He was supposed to use the chainsaw on the government, not his...ow...

You're way behind the times. He already converted the day after he was elected and is handing out silver menorahs to people now.

that isn't how it works. their inputs were subsidized. now that those inputs are no longer being subsidized, they will not be able to replace the product they sold for cheap. unless someone is going out of business, they're not going to let go of stock for less than it would cost to replace.

If I'm a soy farmer, a brecha of 350 pesos oficial to 1000 blue, plus what I'm saving on taxes, makes smuggling my crop across the river to Paraguay a pretty appealing proposition. For 20%, am I going to risk it? Does that even cover transportation and bribes? Just one example. Not everyone is...

the larger the gap, the more money there is to be made by arbitraging the gap. make the gap small enough and it no longer becomes economically viable to arbitrage, or at the very least results in a much smaller number of players attempting to arbitrage the gap in simple terms, the closer the...

the gap only exists because the oficial is so out of line with reality. prices in pesos will go up, the blue won't, hence prices in dollars will increase dramatically.

that's the goal

Trip report : The price in pesos is correct, and somebody updates it every morning, but there aren't actually any cars available to buy at that price. It's the automotive equivalent of buying an apartment in pozo, somehow they use your rapidly devaluing pesos to import a car from Brazil and...

While searching for something else entirely, I happened to notice that car prices on the Toyota website are quoted in pesos. I've got a quote in my hand at an awful good price, in pesos, that says it's valid for 24 hours. Has anyone, uh, actually bought a new car in pesos before? I'm sure...

Let's hope he's not going to use his legendary piano playing skills to busk in the Plaza de Mayo, there's children around...

If I had to pick someplace that would take pallets of cash dollars I stole from the US taxpayers no questions asked, I guess Argentina would be the place... Who invited that grifter anyhow? If he's here to beg, NO HAY PLATA! AFUERA!

If DHL refuses to send the bank cards, put them inside a letter, go to another branch, and say you're mailing documents. You can also mail them to the DHL service center closest to your house and pick up yourself, which saves you a few days if you have a lazy delivery guy who lies about...

https://www.monumentvisa.com/fbi-apostille/ Do it through a channeling company like Monument. For some reason if you do it through the company you get your results in a few days, if you mail the fingerprints in to the FBI yourself it takes months.

If anyone can recommend a money transfer firm that can bring money in for a foreigner with no DNI, please let me know. I've checked with every single company and name I've seen posted on this board and all of them require a DNI or a local account in dollars. As far as I can tell, there is no...

There's a dog hotel next to Ezeiza airport called "La Brava." I leave my dog there whenever I have to fly somewhere and she loves it. The owner also picks up dogs if you don't have a car. If you're completely stuck, call the dog hotel, have him pick up your dog, get yourself into a hotel, and...

Find a hotel or apartahotel that takes dogs. You may have to get out of CABA a bit to find one on short notice but it's doable. I'm currently in a month to month apartahotel building in La Plata with my dog and paying $500 a month. I imagine you could find a posada outside caba as well. Finding...

Oh, I didn't pick an agent, all the buyers agents I tried to talked to couldn't be bothered to get off their ass. This agent is the seller's listing agent, so, I didn't pick him, I just (unfortunately) need to go through him if I want to buy the property. I've arrived at the decision that...
