UK Man. Right.As long as they FINISH secondary.Unfortunately, about 57% of public secondary students DO NOT finish .They are drop outs. Something must be done to remedy this situation.I believe that this is the reason Beatriz Sardo said that it is a "debt" the...

Ries: My main point is that Argentine public primary and secondary education must be drastically improved before thinking about any type of university. Beatriz Sardo used the word "deuda" or debt.She might have used the word "desafio"-challenge.However,she did not.I...

I was waiting for some respected Argentine personality to say publicy what I, a foreign resident, have been saying in private for a long time. Beatriz Sardo.said it today."La deuda de la universidad argentina es incorporar sectores mas bajos que los de la elite". Argentine...

AdrianB1983: No matter what country you 're a citizen of you just have to be joshing us.Or,at least,I hope so for your own sake. Cuevas have existed in Argentina since there was inflation.I can remember them as far back as to my first visit in the...

EJLarson. Solidarity is key.The Argentine embassador to the UN will offer a reception for a select few of the 35 ( 350 was a typo,sorry) visiting congress members. Nobody can ever accuse Argie politicos/as of not being on the cutting edge of fashion. Cristina's...

After voting themselves an almost unbelievable 47% pay raise (el dietazo) some 350 Argie multiparty politicos/as will be flying up to Washington and New York next week to watch the US election results in situ as some kind of a learning experience according to day's Clarin.Give me a break...

Let's cool down all the "gloomy tunes and scary future scenarios" just a little. As the campaign draws to a close I read in today's NYTimes (I know already it's an establishment newspaper) that last month saw healthy job growth with 161,000 new jobs being added in Oct.suggesting a healthy...

Like El Queso says after you've been away from the home country for some time and are getting on in years you don't miss the turkey,pumpkin pie and the "pain in the ass" uncle any more.Nonetheless,I always like to read the forum comments around holiday times to get an idea of other expats'...

The official sell rate is Ar$ 15.38 .My cueva just gave me 15.20. I continue to use the cueva for convenience.

Bradly: A very concise and true synopsis of Argentina's economic situation.Unfortunately,I don't think he will end his term with inflation lower than 8%. .Macri is in a very tough spot but he he is able to move ahead on the reforms, and get the Argies to bring back some of...

Camberiu: Right.It is difficult to tame one's temper and ego.I have trouble with mine as well.So here is my take on your take.Besides,I comment on Brazil a lot and I don't live and work there either 1) Macri does,indeed,deserve praise for his predicability,sanity and...

I read about chef and new BAExpat Dave Soady after seeing his very complete Thanksgiving Dinner menu.Interestingly enough for me he is now working at a restauant right here in my "barrio" San Telmo.I think I'll drop by there soon.The U$D 120 is about what you would pay in a NYC mid upper end...

fifs2 : If,indeed, political satire in esence does not have to contain any constructive criticism and can simply serve as "a welcome piece of light relief",it,nonetheless , can get a smidgen tiresome. Camberiu never offers anyhing constructive whatsoever iI is a steady...

EJLarson. "implies some kind of involuntary treatable condition". This is exactly why I believe Hillary said what she did about Weiner.She most likely believes he is"sick" as do other people in Brooklyn.Maybe he,indeed,is. Camberiu is more interested in making...

EJLarson: Right..I agree with you.Who you will be in disageement with are some of the people from his congressional district who still support him .When I was in NYC in Sept. I spoke to some of them and I couldn't believe my ears. Both he and Spitzer are very...

Camberiu: My oh my.How you love pix and sensationalism.even in bad taste a lot like Anthony Weiner's really. If you ask a lot of the people from the 9th congressional district about all of Brooklyn who voted for him,they would probably say the same as you quote...

My point is that bob Cox was able to leave and to go into exile while Nisman was not that lucky.He was murdered first. I meant no criticism at all of Bob Cox.i admired him greatly.My point is that Nisman was also a dissident voice but of another gov't. that was silenced. What...

dennisir; More clearly put,I meant that what Bob Cox did was indeed personally brave and his actions were a great help in favor of the disappeared during the military government.Nonetheless,he was still able to save his life by being allowed to leave the country to exile in the...

dennisr: As a US resident since 1979 I can atest to the truth of the above article's words.. However,Bob Cox still could escape and exile in the US. Nisman under a supposed democratic gov't with a "really ? " free press as those who worked for and we who still...
