    What Would Dollarization Mean for Expats?

    These zombie arguments keep coming back... about how "Argentina is socialist", when in fact it never has been, and "never mind the terminology, it really is socialist" :rolleyes:. And now how Argentina is "closer to Cuba economically and politically" 🤣 Is this the "fill the zone with shit"...

    What Would Dollarization Mean for Expats?

    It doesn't really matter if Argentina has ever had a 'Socialist' or 'Marxist' government by name. Whatever a political system is called it's how the system actually works (or doesn't) and how the populace are affected that matters. In effect it is more a centrally planned economy than free...

    What Would Dollarization Mean for Expats?

    Those fore attached articles might not paint the whole picture but are they factually incorrect? Peronism deliberately blurs the lines. 'Its not far left because ... ' 'But yet no centre left country controls and manipulates production and the populace the way Argentina does by the extent it...

    What Would Dollarization Mean for Expats?

    Lol that describes most billionaires. Imagine how much more shit the Bidens or Clintons or even Obamas would have on them if they were as rich as Trump. TDS is a thing.

    Far-Right Libertarian Wins Argentina’s Presidential Primary

    There's something a bit creepy about Milei but if he is half as effective as Trump Argentina will be in a better place.

    Argentina's continued collapse by another Redditor in June 2023

    Theres still a lot of variation in level of wealth in the 1% itself. And 1% could be 5%. $1500-2000 pm s little for an American living in America but how many Argentines have that level of income?The point is most expats on this forum live a relatively privileged life in BA. That's mostly why...

    Argentina's continued collapse by another Redditor in June 2023

    I didn't say they were migrating in hordes. But many would -like- to migrate. The numbers in Spain are almost the same as after the 2001 crisis. Are you saying the crisis wasn't that bad then? I know from personal experience having spoken to Argentines that live in Spain. They all love being...

    Argentina's continued collapse by another Redditor in June 2023

    Ok, anyone else live in a shitty cockroach-infested fungus pit of a 1-bedroom apartment in Retiro? I go by what expats have posted on this forum over the last decade.

    Argentina's continued collapse by another Redditor in June 2023

    The poor constantly flooding the US's border still think it's a land of opportunity while the rest of the world either laughs at or weeps for it. That said offer a one way ticket to Miami or Europe and many Argentines would take it.

    Argentina's continued collapse by another Redditor in June 2023

    Most expats here own/rent a decent property or properties in good areas and live comfortably and do not fear inflation. That puts them in the 1%.

    Argentina's New Boeing 757 Presidential Jet Arrives In Style

    [ 1-Brand new totally unnecessary jet 2-Irresponsible cocky manouveur upon delivery If that doesn't say 'F### you plebs!' I don't know what does. A 40 year old Embraer tuboprop would have been more suitable.

    What is more “third world” - Buenos Aires or San Francisco

    It's funny how the US is becoming a more chaotic, and economically and politically challenging, place to live - basically becoming like Argentina and yet Argentina is 'better'? Being lucky enough to be retired on a US pension/ living on a secure higher than average salary and living in a...
