    Has Argentina Become Worse Or Better for Foreign Retirees recently?

    Elon Musk received a SpaceX contract in 2008 (Bush Jr) and loan for Tesla, bailout, in 2010. Much of the subsidies I believe were state level and primarily California. If you mean Doge that was suppose to optimize government spending, that appears to be a major scam and data theft operation, as...

    Has Argentina Become Worse Or Better for Foreign Retirees recently?

    You misunderstood my statement. I will clarify. Governments are not households or businesses. They do not need to make a profit. They also have a typical benefit of inflation reducing the value of their debt. However, where they are similar is that even government lending needs to be done...

    Has Argentina Become Worse Or Better for Foreign Retirees recently?

    Sorry, three part response, I thought this was under 10k or at most 2 parts. Agree that lower tariffs would boost exports. Australia is not a country of a population half the size of Argentina and an Island. Argentina is part of Mercosur. Comparing manufacturing requires consideration of...

    From Gemini During World War I, Argentina faced a period of profound economic restructuring, initially suffering a severe recession before pivoting toward a war-driven export boom. Despite Maintaining strict neutrality, Argentina's economy was highly dependent on European trade, and the war...

    Has Argentina Become Worse Or Better for Foreign Retirees recently?

    I'll try and help explain it. She says "not inherently dangerous". This is what everyone says, literally Warren Buffet has repeated this many times.. Acceptable sized deficits are acceptable. Debt as a responsible amount is ok. Typically, the increase in debt at a rate less than the rise in...

    Has Argentina Become Worse Or Better for Foreign Retirees recently?

    I think until World War 1 Argentina was a powerhouse because they would export a lot to Europe. The U-boats essentially shut down transatlantic trade. In the 50s (I think), the opening of the Panama Canal and subsequent upgrades to it reduced the traffic that went around South America. Prior...

    Has Argentina Become Worse Or Better for Foreign Retirees recently?

    To note again, Kirchener government gutted the pension funds and replaced them with debt (like US SS) instead of financing the government with debt. They took the money and loaded government agencies with debt. Milei isn't against funding the stuff, he has asked the government where they want...

    The decline of domestic tourism in Argentina

    Agree with a bunch. 1) Stores aren't offering any value added, and the range of prices the same good goes for is incredible. Ferreterias are way cheaper than Easy (like home depot here), Carnicerias/Verdularias/Kioscos are way cheaper than supermarkets. They really are not providing a reason to...

    The decline of domestic tourism in Argentina

    Until the price of safety deposit boxes is that of a normal country, There is still cash. I think people use it more sparingly than just every day expenses. Either they need a bit to get to the end of the month, not to splash around. Or they are using it for vacations abroad, etc.

    By now many people stop their new years resolution. On top, its approaching winter not summer here. "packed to the gills" is an english saying. It wasn't a spelling error for gorillas, if that is what you think he was referring people that go to the gym as.

    The decline of domestic tourism in Argentina

    Still a far way from another 2001. And given the amount of money that is held under the mattress or in cash and not deposited, it wouldn't be impactful. So its really not an option at the moment. It would also be the end of any type of improvement for probably 2 generations (40- 50 years).

    The decline of domestic tourism in Argentina

    Sure. To replace the absence of foreign travel and help it in post pandemic. But are those same policies still going on? I haven't seen it. The fact is, its just government issuing debt to create demand. The government needs to be able to issue debt and operate a responsible deficit. Argentina...

    So I was doing a bit of a deeper dive last night after reading this to learn a bit more, and I will continue. However, there is a stark contrast between the objectives of the Thatcher and Milei governments eventhough they may have shared some of the same results and objectives. The Thatcher...

    The decline of domestic tourism in Argentina

    A pretty big detail this article left out regarding domestic travel was also the previous government's "Previaje" program of offering free/low interest loans paid in cuotas applied to hotels and tours etc related to domestic travel. Again, just another print and spend offering to try and create...
