It is transparent and mainly they are negotiating and seeing what they legally can do to help. The difference is that in their eyes, businesses are important for jobs, while here it seems, they prefer businesses to be gone.

Probably Belgium = home, but I could also be lying on a beach in a Mediterranean country for holidays.

I just do not get how much of Argentine politics is delusion and how much is cynical populistic propaganda. Today Alberto said among other things: "Lo que nos hace evolucionar o crecer no es el mérito, como nos han hecho creer en los últimos años, porque el más tonto de los ricos tiene muchas...

If a big employer leaves my home country, the government tries to negotiate for the employer to stay and see if they can improve the conditions. Here, pasa nada, the government is always right.

My approach is the following, though I do not know if it is the best one: I would not ask someone to give a fixed discount on what they are asking, I would ask them how much discount they could give me and pay what they want. I will not just consider one place, I will consider a couple of...

The wonderful Argentine government decided that Argentines are still not paying enough taxes. The wealth tax introduced last year (impuesto PAIS) is not enough, the government wants to also slap an extraordinary tax of 2 to 3,5% on the rich. Lead by project manager Maximo Kirchner...

How comes Argentines are using the pretérito perfecto when they are typically using the pretérito indefinido instead?

https://www.lanacion.com.ar/economia/gasto-ingresos-julio-guzman-nid2426906 compared to 1 year ago, for July: - state income is up 16,1% to 436206 million pesos - state expenses are up 59,2% to 591730 million pesos - state deficit is up to 155524 million pesos (35,7% of income) How long can...

IMHO because the virus kills only about 1% of people infected, virologists, medics, politicians or whoever promotes measures that reduce the income or life quality of people by 10-s% are overreacting. There should be some measures like wearing mouth masks or promoting social distance, but above...

I think people nowadays have the alternative to trade in virtual coins. People could buy and trade stable coins. It has never been easier to set up an (unregulated) bank: you can create your own currency and link it 1:1 to the USD. This currency can be deployed to the Ethereum blockchain, it...

If it takes longer and longer to count your bills whenever you make a purchase, you are feeling the inflation as well. Not sure how long they will stay in denial, though denial is one of the strong points of the K's.

The 500 pesos notes would be imported, Argentina would produce the 1000 pesos notes itself. Apparently one of the reasons why bank notes have to be imported is that Kristina blocked the issue of higher denomination notes (and Alberto followed), because if they introduce the 5000 pesos note they...

This is why I will never transfer my money to Argentina: if a bank thinks a transfer from your account is "suspect", they just block your account: https://www.lanacion.com.ar/economia/dolar/coleros-bancos-bloquean-cuentas-incremento-inusual-transferencias-nid2396451 The banks here are really...

hmmm that video was posted in February 2020, so I do not think that was about a fire taking place today

My guess is that the crisis in Argentina will be worse than in 2001.

Being here does not mean being here all the time. I like visiting Buenos Aires for a couple of months per year (I originally came here as a tango tourist), though I am not considering becoming a resident. At one time, when Macri was president and it appeared Argentina would open up and get rid...

There may be some specialised shops, I do not know, but do not expect Buenos Aires to be like New York. Argentina has a lot of import restrictions and taxes, unlike any Western country. Any electronics may be harder to find or be much more expensive.
