Even the big banks with their experts can be said to be unreliable. This is what Wells Fargo was saying in mid-August after PASO and as far as I can tell is their most recent forecast:

Do IGV, gasoline taxes, etc. not count as taxes that expats are paying?

Over the years I've come to the personal conclusion that the answers to society's problems won't be found in individual politicians or politics as it currently operates. Argentine politicians yelling, performing, focusing exclusively on bashing other politicians, stirring up fear, and not...

Always a good idea to know the background of the person/group making the recommendation. Is there specialization in anything relevant having to do with communicable diseases, do the specialize in something scientific/medical but completely unrelated, or do they have no scientific/medical...

I like following prediction markets which are known to be pretty accurate. Maybe because people aren't making predictions based on what the heart desires but the wallet and the desire to win, not lose, the money they wager. This is the only one I found (so far) and it looks like they haven't...

Of course a candidate's endorsement is no guarantee that their followers will vote in such a way in any potential second round. I'd safely guess the number of supporters who do follow the endorsement to be between 1 and 99 percent. I'm still waiting on my DNI, am unable to vote, and so haven't...

So you're saying you had childhood diseases before vaccinations were invented. I'm sorry to hear about that. I have older relatives that suffered childhood diseases before vaccinations against them were invented as well. I myself never suffered from any of those childhood diseases that you and...

If Milei doesn't win outright and is forced into a runoff, I'm curious what the candidate who came in third will do as far as an endorsement (or if they don't give one at all) and who their supporters will hold their nose and vote for in the second round. Will their second vote cancel each other...

I can understand when Argentines (or natives to whatever country is being discussed) complain about prices and cost of living, but as expats we are far more able to choose to live here and are likely better able to choose to live somewhere else if we truly find things to be too expensive, too...

I stopped reading after two and half pages and after I saw it mentioned by someone here whose posts I find wise who suggested that it's all relative, depends on how you live, what you're buying and how often you make those purchases, and another person who posted a link to the Numbeo Cost of...

I don't see where Freedom of Speech comes into this. Neither the ARG or US govt. restricted Milei or Carlson's speech (and as we all should know, Freedom of Speech as a legal concept can only be restricted by Govt., not private enterprise). Without going back and reading every post I'm pretty...

I think what you are saying does so much to explain why it is that people are so dissatisfied across national borders and political ideologies. I tell my American friends who seem convinced that having third parties is the answer (because then they'll have "real choice") that it won't make a...

That was interesting, hombre sin nombre. I never would've thought the military would be delighted someone was interesting in taking pictures at their locations. I've done a fair share of street photography. Got it to the point where I've perfected my 'shoot from the hip' technique where people...

Both Elon Musk and Argentine politicians have taken once thriving and globally important entities and have through their actions managed to mismanage them to the point where they are but shadows of their former selves and have no one but themselves to blame for their arrogance and incompetence -...

This makes no sense at all. All that matters is what Milei said. Carlson did not speak for him. Furthermore, everything I have read in English has been critical of Milei. He is routinely blasted as a right winger in the foreign press. What are you proposing - that Milei only be interviewed by...

Carlson's intent isn't to ask questions that challenge Milei's positions, but to shape his responses into an easily digestible format for his audience. My idea of actual journalists are one's who are either small and independent and preferably don't work on behalf of billionaires who own media...

The average Argentine doesn't get their news from Tucker Carlson or likely even know who he is. American expats in Argentina have any number of Argentine or international news sources and are likely more open to receiving their news from non-US sources compared to the average American. Carlson...

Further evidence it's all an act and he doesn't genuinely believe what he's pushing on air. Like Trump, he has zero credibility.

I'd say the difference is that legitimate journalists and news organizations don't deal in conspiracy theories and spreading half-truths, whereas the ones under question seem to (lacking actual facts to support their arguments) exclusively rely on them. Not to say they always get it right, which...

The judge agreed with Fox's premise, adding that the network "persuasively argues" that "given Mr. Carlson's reputation, any reasonable viewer 'arrive with an appropriate amount of skepticism' about the statements he makes." "This 'general tenor' of the show should then inform a viewer that he...
