It appears that the average salary in China has surpassed the average salary in Argentina, so even with the loan handicap China remains competitive in Argentina.

You give nice insights, but I do not agree with everything. First and foremost, the current day Peronists do not represent all workers or pymes, I am aware of people of these groups that are clearly anti-Kirchnerists, because of the market unfriendly measures (e.g. access to dollars) that also...

You might also consider retiring in Uruguay? some advantages: - free access to USD, in Argentina you can only convert pesos to USD at the black market for the moment (at twice the official rate). - no yearly wealth tax of 2,25% only a tax of 12% on dividends if you have not paid this tax abroad...

Only the educated ones, most Indians do not speak English, but yes, the ones that program usually do.

These wages are ways too low, programmers should look for an online job. For reference, I know Indian junior programmers (those who know nothing and you still have to learn them what a command line terminal is or explain them that a database statement ends with a ';' and things like that) are...

This takes away the fun of counting the 100 pesos notes one by one whenever you make a purchase.

What the government says is one thing, what the people do another. When the quarantine began, the streets were empty, but I have seen traffic increasing week after week whenever I went to the supermarket. Yesterday, except for the face masks, I did not notice there was a quarantine in the...
