    Milei officially rejects Argentina entering BRICS

    Agriculture significantly contributes to their economic strength. Additionally, they possess substantial industries in medical technology, software engineering, and various other technological sectors. These industries are not just domestic, they also drive the economy through substantial...

    What do we think will happen with the exchange rate?

    Agree. I highly doubt Milei will be able to get approval to get rid of the peso first of all, let alone the dollars required to dollarize the Argentine economy. Everyone needs to be ready to produce more and save more as well, so you don't have to dip into your savings.

    Guns In Argentina

    It's not advisable to carry in the street in CABA. Instead, I would recommend that you know where you are walking and be aware of your surroundings. If you are out at night, try to stay in well lit areas that you are familiar with.

    How much more are you paying for your health (prepaga) insurance?

    I remember when I first arrived in Argentina, sometime in 2015. One day, i woke up, and I was feeling really dizzy. I lived in Villa Crespo at the time. I had no idea about hospitals here having been used to U.S. hospitals. I was so dizzy that I just had to go, so I went to The Durand. . Lots of...

    Milei officially rejects Argentina entering BRICS

    India and China maintain significant business relationships with Russia, that appear relatively unaffected by Western sanctions. This also extends to many Asian and Arab countries, which often prioritize their own strategic and economic interests over adherence to Western policies. The influence...

    There is a lot actually, just look it up, too much to list here, BRICS nations make up a good portion of the world economy.

    Milei officially rejects Argentina entering BRICS

    I don't see this as very smart. I think Argentina should follow the path of India. Stay neutral in everything, do business with everyone. They are becoming a super power. Instead, Milei is a falling in love with the IMF, and U.S, both of which will not benefit Argentina. I am starting to see him...

    They have Milei. We have Trump. We’re closer to Argentina’s chaos than we think

    He talks about Uruguay and Chile, and how they have been able to straighten out their situation. He neglects to mention, that Argentina is far larger, more complex, and diverse than either of those two countries.

    Is the expat party coming to an end?

    If we continue to see inflation in U.S. dollars, then logic tells me that tourism will begin to drop and foreign nationals won't find Argentina as attractive to settle in. My sister, prior to Milei's victory, was planning to move to Mendoza with her husband from the U.S. in a couple of years...

    Milei alters Internet rules to make way for Elon Musk’s Starlink

    Jobs for whom, Americans, or the hundreds of thousands of migrants who have been allowed in through the southern border? Are you comparing the United States to Argentina? What might work there, if it still does, may not work here.

    Milei alters Internet rules to make way for Elon Musk’s Starlink

    Well, guess what? The Chinese are also launching a service. The sky is going to be full of these satellites.

    Milei alters Internet rules to make way for Elon Musk’s Starlink

    Yes, those are ka-band satellites. They are stationary, and about 30,000 miles away, and have much higher latency than star link. Not the same product at all. They also likely require professional installation and maintenance.

    Milei alters Internet rules to make way for Elon Musk’s Starlink

    Even when the remaining satellites are launched, to receive the service, you must have a clear line of sight to communicate with the low-orbit satellites. This approach is impractical in the city, especially when you have fiber optic services like Iplan, which offers 800 Mbps service, a much...

    Milei alters Internet rules to make way for Elon Musk’s Starlink

    Engaging in a business partnership with Elon Musk could be advantageous. Argentina is currently a lithium exporter, but there are concerns that the country isn't maximizing its profits. Ideally, the government should earn a significant portion of the revenue. This situation mirrors historical...

    Milei alters Internet rules to make way for Elon Musk’s Starlink

    If Starlink comes to Argentina, I would consider leaving CABA. I see this as positive.

    Argentines protest Milei's economic shock therapy

    Will the situation worsen? It seems unlikely to become too severe. I've noticed that prices for certain items, like meat and chicken, have started to decrease due to reduced purchasing. . Additionally, there's an uptick in people assessing prices at restaurants and choosing to leave instead of...

    Rental Law Will be Repealed Tomorrow, by Decree

    There should be some laws protecting consumers. If we don't see them, then it's a sign that this government will be the usual, for and by the rich. Their won't be any trickle down effect. All the money will gravitate to those with the most assets. Look at what's going on in the U.S. As far as...

    How much more are you paying for your health (prepaga) insurance?

    I've been closely monitoring my insurance rates, and there has been a consistent increase every month for over a year now. . Although I've managed to maintain my coverage, several of my friends have had to cancel theirs due to these escalating costs, and this was happening even before Milei. I'm...
