Blue or official rate?

True but not many expats will be wiling to adopt your frugal lifestyle.

Thailand has started taxing expats. Many are leaving as a result. People unhappy with the US elections aren't likely to be fans of Argentina's fearless leader.

They like Argentina's leader more??

I'm curious to know what the average British pension is.

There is a Part B deduction of around $200 for hospital care, so the actual cash amount is less but either way, this is a great deal in Argentina.

So how much is a typical yankee pension?

A car would be an absolute necessity.

How much is an unusually low yanqui pension? Curious minds need to know

So how long before the default and collapse. Maybe the expats will hang on until then.

What's the status of tourism these days? Any actual statistics?

One can hope but it really is ASTONISHING that Ukranian pensioners get paid while US pensioners struggle with a COL far far under the inflation rate.

According to the US State Department, the US is paying Ukranian pensions! Yes, actually paying for Ukranian pensions while giving Americans 2.5% increases and increasing part B deductions.

I fail to see that they have much in common other than their showmanship. Trump is a protectionist, totally opposed to unrestricted international trade. He wants industry to return and stay in the US. He's a non interventionist who wants an end to US involvement in Ukraine and a lesser role...

Some people might think it arrogant to be watching USA election results in a public place in Argentina.
