    Public transportation in the works

    I can only find the track ones online. The PreMetro line. If you remember where they are please let me know. The electric bus powered by overhead cable are a great option (what I thought when I hear tram style, used in mining also for certain routes, will reduce diesel and be cheaper). The style...

    Vaca Muerta will demand more than 40,000 additional workers

    It will be interesting to follow this graphic in the future and see if the trend continues. Jujuy, Salta, Catamarca, San Juan, Mendoza, Neuquen all have resources industries (mines, oil, gas). LaRioja does as well, but still early phases not more developed projects yet. Rio Negro has the...

    Public transportation in the works

    I think its great and am super glad to see they aren't going with Light Rail. I am curious about the trade off between electric buses vs the ones that connect with an overhead wire. I would think those would be more efficient (lighter since there is no battery weight), and cheaper long terms...

    If I will use AI, I refer to it as a sentence or so "from Gemini" or "AI" just as others do. I am absolutely a human being, not a bot. I have been to the cafe on Tuesdays before. I write all my responses except for 2 which contained mostly response from Google. I typically check up on Infobae...

    Are you talking about the 1) and 2) .....? That is just me trying to clearly articulate things and then to be able to refer back to them clearly without restating them completely and just referring to them as 1) and 2). I'm not sure that is an official style, is just how I've done it for quite...

    1) Ports: In January there was the announcement of the investment to expand and improve the Santa Fe port (Santa Fe port announcement article). It seems with this article, they are advancing on aspects of it with the tender process (advancing santa fe port). YPF also just announced a $25B...

    Absolutely. Agree with every point. But it is a global issue, not just American or Argentinain. Canadians that don't own homes now are essentially being told the only way they will move out will be with roommates. I am not defending that system. That system is made up of politicians acting...

    Also, remember the months of riots and massive damage caused during the protests in France when they had to increase age of retirement in 2023 from 62 to 64? Their debt is 110% of GDP, their deficit is around 5% which is higher than the 3% limit by the EU. They are straining to keep it together...

    Lets have a look at the complete list, snip below. Pretty amazing that its full of South American and some European countries. When we look at the article, it is pointing at benefits by the administration and what they have done, some streamlining and digitizing, lowering of country risk to...

    I have absolutely addressed your point and questinoed it and your highlighted your favourite author's point. Claiming I have not is bad faith. 1) Universities are still free for permanent residents and students. 2) Universities are still open and functioning and educating students, so I don't...

    I said that it was a good example of the market filling the void. I am not a hard core right winger or free marketer across all industries, health care, especially, and I definitely support public education. I am absolutely not a trickle down economics or giving away major tax cuts. That being...

    I have responded to points, and asked questions. 1) Students university is still free to citizens and perm residents. 2) Instructors and profs are getting paid. regardless whether I think its fair pay or not, they haven't exercised a right to strike or stop rendering services. Austerity will...

    I think its pretty easy for them to get a temporary residency at first, and then after 2 years they can apply for permanent residency. It is just another stream for temporary residents. I think the free university is limited to permanent residents and citizens. Universities have two typically...

    I am traumatized every time I go to the supermarket

    From my experience it seems like certain its a bit of give and take in terms of costs for food inputs. Argentina is typically cheaper for meats. Fruits and veggies I find are cheaper or similarly priced as in other latin countries. Foreign brands are typically higher, again, same as in other...

    I am traumatized every time I go to the supermarket

    Great info. I don't live in BA, but 4 or 5 other points that may be available out there: 1) Herboristas - In the city I live in that is what they are called at least. They have jars or sacks of spices, snacks, teas, baking ingredients, cereals, nuts, beans, maybe dog/pet foods, etc. You buy how...

    Has Argentina Become Worse Or Better for Foreign Retirees recently?

    They receive some of their funding from the federal government, they also receive funding from the Ingresos Brutos, royalties and other streams. They are running a fiscal surplus, so I really don't know what you are trying to imply about Karina, Milei or Adorni. They have been operating a...

    Has Argentina Become Worse Or Better for Foreign Retirees recently?

    1) He was elected on a campaign of not deficit spending but balancing the budget. So implementing deficit spending would have gone against what people who voted for him wanted. 2) So just printing would have increased inflation which was in hyperinflation territory at the time. Which is what his...

    Has Argentina Become Worse Or Better for Foreign Retirees recently?

    Did I say education isn't necessary? Are you trying to put words in my mouth? Supporting education is very different than supporting research and innovation. Yes I do support it. It would be hypocritical of me if I didn't support it. Some countries spend much less on this than others. Canada...
