Besides his petty thievery he had also stabbed someone in the stomach several times. Not defending the police action, but he wasn't shot in the back just because he snatched someone's cell phone and ran away.

Never thought I'd see BajoCero defending police brutality. I imagine if Macri was president right now you'd have the same exact opinion on the matter? Now we have left and right condoning police brutality, great...

Has anyone experienced any xenophobia and/or racism since coronavirus has started in Argentina? I have not, but I've heard from many other foreigners that they have been discriminated against by neighbors and on the street. PS - I'm just asking about Argentina. I know the US, UK, South...

If a vaccine arrives and the threat is under control, why wouldn't social customs go back to normal? I think society in general will have a heightened sense of hygiene and hopefully we'll be better prepared for the next outbreak, but I can't imagine a permanent cease of warm greetings, tango and...

I don't think anyone knows at this point. There are whole cities / provinces who depend on tourism for income. They need to be opened up at some point, the government can only subsidize at such a high level for so long. My uneducated guess is 1.5 year at the max (assuming a vaccine arrives by...

Some people can deal with the social isolation aspect much better than others.

Fiscal - How's everything in Lima?

Again? These people are either the most incompetent negotiators or corrupt. AF still has some cleaning up to do.

As you correctly stated Bajo, since when has buying in bulk ever cost more?? If anything you get a discount. Glad to hear that he was fired right away and that AF will not allow the same level of crony capitalism that went down in the CFK administration.

Now the national government overpaid on food for the poor. If they paid the "precios maximos" they could have bought more food items - https://www.lanacion.com.ar/economia/coronavirus-polemica-compra-alimentos-del-gobierno-precios-nid2351250 . Beneficiary is wealthy government friends and the...

Hahahaha Why not both? As I stated in the previous thread this government should print more money to give direct cash payments to the poor. The politicians should donate their salaries and wealth, while the super rich can pay a little more in taxes. This government is not doing enough to...

My apologies BajoC2, I did not. Why do these politicians need multiple properties around the world, luxury vehicles, etc while people are suffering? They should donate and spread their wealth, not just give up a small symbolic cut in salary. This goes for all parties.

Bajo is a master of Whataboutism! "A variant of the tu quoque logical fallacy that attempts to discredit an opponent's position by charging them with hypocrisy without directly refuting or disproving their argument."

That's great, but why have a ceremony with a crowd of people during a pandemic? Doesn't seem prudent.

The hysteria of this virus is proving almost as dangerous as the virus itself. I say this as someone who back in early February was arguing with those who compared covid-19 to car accidents and influenza. It's turning society into a bunch of paranoid people that are ready to report and attack...

Macri is gone. He did a very poor job, and he lost as a result. Now it's time to focus on the current situation, not the past. The president today is Alberto Fernandez. AF has done the right thing by putting in place a strict quarantine. I just worry that the most vulnerable of society aren't...

Sorry to hear that she is gone, but it sounds like you gave her a great life full of love.

I'm an economist ventanilla. I don't need you to explain to me how aggregate demand and the multiplier effects works. There is no reason to bailout shareholders of corporations. Let it go to zero. The assets can be repurchased and organized by new investors. UBI should be implemented for the...

As everyone has stated finding a proper job here is going to prove very difficult. Your best bet is to find remote work from the US.

Haha wow, you get very triggered at any perceived criticism of your preferred politicians. Because this thread isn't about Macri. I've stated in threads relevant to Macri that his management of the economy was horrendous. $30,000 isn't enough that's what is wrong with it. A stifled demand...
