Good to hear you're still getting that one.

Wine (the kind you find in supermarkets/chinos) is still relatively cheap. At least it was in December, when I left. Taxis, too, are still a comparative bargain. Not that they're so cheap in BsAs, but they're astronomical everywhere else.

Something else that I didn't know: there's an agreement to import Argentine meat into the US. "El domingo, el ministro de Agroindustria, Ricardo Buryaile, expresó su confianza se respetará los acuerdos firmados entre su país y Argentina el pasado año para la exportación de carne y limones. "...

Sadly, have to agree with this, and not from a distance. My wife (Argentine-born) and I spent most of last September in the UK. There wasn't the least sign of hostility (or even curiosity) anywhere we went (Oxford, London, Cornwall). As is our custom, we spoke Spanish between ourselves...

As usual, you really understand nothing, but if you feel the urge to completely ignore the content of a discussion and fly off on your own personal voyage, then you have the right to do that on this forum. (Until Macri declares it illegal. But I'll support your rights, even then.) (Oh, and...

Now that's information - and thank you for it. Re the snark: are you familiar with our resident attorney? Read the comment he made that I responded to. Think it might be snark that he asked me if I'd favor the Holocaust if it resulted from a majority vote? Godwin's Law in action. I don't...

Some vast, right-wing conspiracy, I suppose. But their checks always bounce, so this is for free. Did you have a comment on the content of the posts?

Better brush up on your English, Bajo. The subject is not "Is Brexit good?" The subject, if you'll try to read more carefully this time, is: "Is Theresa May responsible for the results of Brexit?" No need to thank me. Just doing my job. (And if you think the Germans ever voted on the...

Please enlighten me, if you will. Theresa May is "ending our EU citizenships and the human and social rights that we directly gained from that status - gender equality, employee rights and free movement ...?" And as for why: "Because her main goal is to stop immigration into the UK even that of...

And this just in! He may have worked for Boeing! (Not much of a revelation - just about everyone in the Seattle area did in those days. Including me! Hey, do you think ...?) http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/01/15/new-evidence-suggests-d-b-cooper-may-have-worked-for-boeing.html

If he is to complete his goal of rebuilding Argentina's economy in 2017, yes, he will need some outside resources. His independent wealth will only stretch so far.

I'll second and third this. Very pricey (quality imported beans don't come cheap) but they roast on site in small batches and the product's always fresh. They have several outlets but the only one I've dealt with is on Pueyrredón just past Arenales.

It's the gringo shortcut for "caffé latte." Since English is the only acceptable language anywhere, we just take random words from here and there and make them mean whatever we want them to. So, since no one in the US speaks Italian, "latte" can only mean espresso coffee with milk. See...

If it were only numbers!

Actually, it's 0.3%. Still a small enough number to be lost in rounding to the next $10.00.

Wife and I received ours here in Texas a week or so ago.

If you are truly "person who most doesn't want the job" then I'll support you next time. (But - high bar - you'll have to prove you want it less than I do.)

As it should be. Apparently Tom is still paying attention.

Which is why I didn't do that. Note that only one name is mentioned, Hillary, and the only comment about her was that she was gracious in her concession speech. Then I said that the collective Democratic party (with Hillary's acquiescence) acted, depending on your point of view, like spoiled...

In the trauma of the post-election period, the Democrats went from stunned tragedy to clown-shoes, Keystone-Kop farce. After Hillary's gracious concession speech she turned around and embraced the Sore Loser party faction as she supported the recount effort (Trump gained votes, on the whole)...
