This is why there is inflation in Argentina; despite assertions to the contrary by so-called experts who are reduced to having to rely upon Wikipedia, yet who do not understand causality. From Trading Economics: "Money Supply M2 in Argentina averaged 3981657.27 ARS Million from 1990 until 2025...

On the topic of tuna, has anyone located 100% chunk, solid white, albacore, canned tuna packed in water; as in say, StarKist or BumbleBee in the USA? I have searched high and low without success, only finding the lower grade, darker colored, canned tunas, which may not even be albacore. This...

Correct. That is the textbook definition of inflation. Profligate money printing will eventually catch up to the USA as well. Sovereign central banks know this and continue buying gold despite its record high prices.

I took Lucky Luke's advice and subscribed to Traveling Mailbox. It was a great decision. They will open and scan mail, and deposit checks if necessary. They will forward all bank cards here, and have done so. The GUI is easy to follow. No complaints. Much better than the UPS store which, instead...

I asked the U.S. Embassy FBU for help regarding this issue and, as usual, they make as little effort to be helpful as possible. Here is the fax number which I used to send mine to SSA: 1-833-719-0632. I checked once and was told that my account is fine but I will call to check again to be sure.

Had they done so, the consequences to the Argie junta from President Reagan and Prime Minister Thatcher would not have been pleasant.

Thank you Jerry for taking the time to put my mind at ease. With the sea changes going on in the nation's capital, I just wanted to be sure. Much appreciated.

As a U.S. citizen in the process of attaining Argentine citizenship, once attained, will my Social Security benefits be affected in any deleterious way? This is the first year in submitting Social Security Form-7162 in which I considered that answering YES to this question could have unpleasant...

Distribution data is being compiled. LD50 of fentanyl is 2mg; about 15 grains of table salt. Not much room for error even untainted. There is a new non-opiod pain medication available in the USA, Journavx (suzetrigine), that is not yet available here as far as I know. It's a much safer...

In lieu of spending thousands of dollars, you can apply for citizenship yourself. If you have an Argentine friend, I imagine that he / she would be happy to help; even if such help is limited to directing you where to execute the requisite documents. People are nice here and are willing to help...

You asked. Here you go: https://edition.cnn.com/2024/02/09/economy/cpi-revisions-inflation

Well since you asked, when I first came to Argentina, Raúl Alfonsín was the president.

Here you go chief, one of many: https://edition.cnn.com/2024/02/09/economy/cpi-revisions-inflation The salient part being: “We have to make decisions in real time,” Fed Governor Christopher Waller said late last year. “Whatever data is released, that’s the data I have to use. The problem with...

He was having a hard time financially. That, coupled with age and physical infirmity, takes a toll mentally. It's not the way anyone wants to spend their later years, but it's the way many end up. He seemed like a nice guy from the tenor and tone of his posts. Someone with a compassionate...

Donald Trump has been in office 206 days. Joe Biden was the putative president for the four years preceding Trump. Inflation is caused by excessive dollar issuance. If the recent 2.7% CPI annualized inflation numbers are fake (probably) as you claim, they were produced by the Bureau of Labor...

"Trumponomics"? He's been in office 205 days. The last CPI report was 2.7% annualized inflation. Relax. You have a long way to go.

If I were you, I would contact the US Embassy ASAP. Perhaps he participated in their STEP registration. While in another South American country, I was made aware of an American citizen / veteran who suffered a stroke and just lay on the floor conscious but paralyzed until he died days later of...

Yo You can do the paperwork yourself via Radex. It's a simpler process now. However, if you don't speak Spanish, have extenuating issues like a criminal history or insufficient income....etc; or if you simply want to avoid the running around Buenos Aires and the administrative grind, then yes...

Obtaining quality health insurance here as an older person is a challenge. As a disabled vet with many injuries, I received a quote from OSDE in FEB23 of approx. $11,900 USD/month. And, that was negotiated by a friend who has a friend at OSDE. My previous price, from walking into an OSDE office...

Update: just returned from Migraciones. It was as easy as pie. The lady thoroughly verified my paper documents, took both my photo and fingerprints, and then said that my DNI would arrive by the end of the month. When I told her that I did not see any of the notorious employees from the past who...
