It is a matter of taste after all. I enjoy pizza from La Americana, for example. Guerrin, Los Inmortales, El Cuartito are also good. If you believe the pizza is bad, hardly frozen pizza will be any better.

I don't think it is Shakespearean.

When people see a headline in newspapers about plane crash, does it stop them from flying? Nope, just because an accident is considered to be so newsworthy to hit the front pages, flying in general is presumed to be safe. So, why the same logic can not be applied here? As to the "Man of the...

The slope of the line is 0.05 +- 3.3. (See the article for bigger picture). Sounds convincing to you? Black squares represent Latin American countries. How would you draw this line if you take them off? Do you see any dependence now? I wonder how come nobody has written an article yet on how...

This is what the capitalism is, after all. Why buying dollars 20% off the official rate is immoral, and buying them 10% off the actual market rate is moral? Their exchange booth is strategically placed. They help tourists to cope with anxiety of being in a foreign country without local money.

I don't want to diminish the tragedy of death of the french tourist. But why the heck do you call Luis Spinetta semi-talented? Almendra was one of the most prominent Argentinean rock bands of its time. Encuentro channel has a program (free reguistration required) about the beginnings of rock in...

I believe self employment taxes are calculated from the net profit from business (without any difference where it was performed) and has nothing to do with foreign income exemption. One-half of self-employment tax is deducted, but it is a different story. So basically, he writes off the amount...

Is money printing machine broken? Why does the government need to borrow or invent some sophisticated schemes?

Fabe, Are you criticizing yourself for a lack of self-criticism?

Assuming you are selling your digital products online globally, why don't you incorporate elsewhere: your home country, BVI, Panama, Ireland, Singapore, Uruguay? Why Argentina business policies are even an issue? Show me the one that isn't.

The United States has a lot of companies that are run by the government. Amtrak, for example. It is not an airline, evidently, but it is still a transportation company that is heavily subsidized.

I think it is not about being "unfair", because it means different things for different people. The situation has developed, where for some people there is no legal way to get dollars in this country. In this situation there is no legal way to enforce against their interests existing contracts...
