How do you come to this conclusion? Chile is not only economically better off, but every index that I have come across in terms of personal freedom, rule of law, democracy etc. rates Chile higher than Argentina. I am curious to know why is this the case? (the fact that Argentina provides free...

Great story!!!

What a success story Argentina has been since then, especially in comparison with Chile.

Thank you. She is a regular employee though (with contract, i.e. en blanco).

I have a question regarding the purpose: as far as I know the only option that can be selected is "Family support". What if I pay with this option the salary of the house maid (she is en blanco)? Would that be a problem on her side with the bank? If not possible, than I can also go through...

Today I was in microcentro and I went there. Great also that you can sit outside. Thanks for the tip

I think the typical expat is materially much more immune to the crisis than the typical local. And if things are really about to get nasty, then they (or we) have a simple exit strategy (that is, just go to next country with similar quality of life and costs). If you turn on the TV, or read the...

A big day for Martín Guzmán: Super Tuesday! This modern day version of Houdini, who is trying to tame Dollar and inflation while - against all economic laws - increasing public deficit ("reducir el deficit? Porque?") and printing money around the clock, is announcing new measures today to stop...

I do not say that the HDI is rubbish. It says something beyond pure USD / monetary indices, but it is probably more suited as a long term KPI and not really meaningful for short term developments (otherwise I would like to see you in La Matanza explaining to Brian and Jessi that according to the...

The happy anniversary card did not go down well in the government https://www.infobae.com/politica/2020/10/26/entre-la-sorpresa-y-la-preocupacion-como-impacto-la-carta-de-cristina-kirchner-en-el-gobierno/

It was a big step from Obama to Trump. From Trump to Kanye it would be a rather small step now ....

Well, I don't think anyone would consider buying pesos as a winning strategy. I believe that "TheDonald" was provocative/polemic, "Dougie" sarcastic, and the government is simply lying when they say it ("el que apuesta al dólar pierde").

I am looking for a good, reliable and dedicated carpenter. It is about old wooden doors that need to be restored. I was working with a couple of carpenters over the last year; most are not really interested in what they are doing and all in all below average. The only one who was is not available.

You can twist it as you like: the fact remains that Argentina is economically performing much worse than almost all other countries on the continent over the last decades.

They could indeed skip the planned 5'000 bill and go straight to the 10'000

I am not really sure whether your main point/critic of your post is that the crisis is not (or will not be) as bad as predicted or that you agree that it is (or will be) very bad indeed, but it is still within the expectations (part of the package). From a pure expat point of view, i somehow...

Maybe thats a signal that they will soon open for other countries. My mother cant wait to see her grandchildrenl. And what i particularly like is the 10 day limit :)

I never really understood whether the banks were forecasting the official or the blue

See! The likelihood that behind a person who talks about football (in another thread) and posts videos of reservoir dogs is a woman is <0.1% ;)

In the first post Ries seemed pretty annoyed about the thread (“sexist stuff”). And lets not pretend otherwise: Ries is male, you are male, i am male (i stand corrected of course if i am wrong). It is not because of pseudonyms, but about the subjects one talks here, and how we talk about them
