Very good news Bajo. The central bank should keep printing and enforce price controls. Why not $60,000 for each citizen? $30,000 is too low.

Good point on the brink. It's like trying to convince that other poster that COVID-19 is more deadly than the common cold or flu. Lost cause.

You're creating straw man arguments - 1. Semigoodlookin and I have rejected hegemony in all its forms by the IMF, USA, France, UK, China or any other group of elite economic interests. 2. He mentioned he was in his 30s in another thread, as am I. No, I haven't retired yet. Where specifically...

No one is in hysterics. You view everything through such an ideological prism that you can't see plain reality. That you believe China's loan program to developing countries is just about being paid back with no conditions is extremely naive and uninformed. It's not even something controversial...

Mentioning that China uses loans to further their strategic interests and has seized infrastructure from developing countries for defaulting on loans is defending the IMF? LOL Can anyone other than ventanilla himself understand his logic? Seems like this quarantine is affecting his brain.

That's a very nasty thing to say about Florencia Kirchner. Just beacuse she has been handed everything from birth doesn't mean she doesn't understand that her actions affect others.

When governments or government organizations loan money they don't do it to collect interest payments. It is for political influence. The IMF conditions their loans so that the debtor country adopts more business friendly policies so that their member country corporations increase their...

I agree with this president on many things. From his assessment of the CFK government as "deplorable" to his handling of the coronavirus crisis thus far. I don't think people left in the pandemic because "they did it in show of disrespect to the president", but rather because they didn't think...

And shame on you ventanilla, a privileged first world citizen coming here, spreading whatever bacteria and viruses you picked up along your travels and speaking down to native Argentines like Sergio.

I understand that people can do something for free and out of compassion. I have a hard time understanding that countries with horrible records of human rights abuses are doing something out of compassion. If it was the democratic government of Norway sending doctors, I'd be able to believe...

I'm guessing he made it ok or else he would be here again begging for help :D

How about they don't sell out their country to either? They employ the same tactics as the IMF. Make a loan you know the country can't pay back and then extract your pound of flesh. You can be sure that Argentina will default on the Chinese loan they get and then their ports will be under...

Neowonk was the first to raise the issue of coronavirus hitting Argentina hard. While most were responding with it's just the flu, car accidents are more of a threat, you're racist, over hyped by the media, used by Trump to close borders to non-whites, etc. He was called "almost racist" by...

It plays into his politics. Santa Fe province is the epicenter of drug trafficking. He's a career intelligence officer.

It's interesting how the virtue signaling post referred to mentions of Chinese as racist as if Chinese is a race. I wonder who they thought Neowonk was being "almost racist" towards. The Hans, Uyghurs, Tibetans, Manchus, all of the above ? And all because he mentioned that there was a potential...

Is it out of fear of attacks because of their ethnicity?

The industrial food, drink and sugar industry have an untold amount of political influence. It is also a matter of person choice, and not exponential growth potential. I go about my life normally and choose not to drink coca cola and therefore I'm not fat. If someone decides to drink coca cola...

Jeff - Look at the efforts of Singapore, Japan and Korea. They have done what you have described, but it has required massive testing and preventions before people enter public spaces. Unfortunately, most governments (the US and Western Europe included) don't have the organization or supplies to...

No one knows what's going to happen. We're all speculating. Countries can't be under mass quarantine forever. People will starve to death. Countries are trying to buy time at the moment. The good news is information is being shared across the world about different treatment protocols...

Probably some prison time. People get sent to prison for a lot less. She still doesn't sound too repentant. She has basically said "sorry, I didn't mean it, it wasn't my intention." If you kill someone and it wasn't your intention you are still responsible. Her negligence will certainly lead...
