I went in to the migracion office in my city prior to a trip since my precaria was about to expire, and they saw that it was all reviewed but not issued, so they called the BA office then ended up issuing my temporary visa a few minutes later.

Its interesting to see that they don't mention that China gets about 2/3 of the export by volume or 55% by value in the article. Maybe a bit less now with their updated policy.

Great article, and attitude of the author.

Also, in the last 2 years, about 7k direct and 18k jobs industry wide (including supply chains) through the textile industry have been lost which represents about 3.5% of an estimated 500k jobs, for a similar reduction in installed capacity output, while at the same time a massive increase in...

I agree. I think because credit isn't available here and everything is paid for in cash, the business owners think they need to earn a massive return on it. The inflated rate of return is far above what businesses in other countries would target typically. I agree that Mercado Libre brings in...

The family reported that they had been losing money for 30 years. How does one operate for 30 years if at a loss? unless they are playing accounting games. I believe they also went bankrupt in 2019, and have been dealing with labour issues (disputes). I would have to assume the family has...

So their corporate tax is disproportionate and not sure if thats limited to just income tax or the other taxes as well (gross revenues and transfer taxes) or if those fall under the other taxes. Argentina also taxes property (Assets) 2.5x as much as other LATAM countries. Trying to compare...

I am aware that the 16% (pension) and 8% (health) are paid by employer in addition to pay, and that is for all legal wage earners.That is in addition not withheld from salaries. Hence real cost of employment is 16% pension, 8% health), 8.5% (13th month split between june and december or...

Below is a link to an Infobae article from today where the head of Banco Macro brings up the credit market as an issue, and how banks haven't been allowed to offer loans in dollars (or maybe using it as collateral) for the last 20 years. This would allow lower interest loans. He suggests the...

1) You say that 1/3 of revenues are from workers withholdings and then say only a small number comply. From a quick google about 800k-1M pay income tax. or about 10% of the formal workforce (are the high earners). The fact is in the US only 50% pay federal tax because their income is too low as...

Enjoy the day off guys

a few points: 1) Argentina taxes everyone and there is the asset tax. To the point that many Argentianians have left, or changed their residency to Uruguay. So trying to further tax a smaller group of people will work against its objective. This has been studied in many other countries. There...

I don't typically shop at the Carrefour in my city (there is only 1 location), but they do now have self checkouts. I think they are pretty much the same as Libertad and Vea (the other 2 chains where I am). The Express stores in BA seem to run pretty smoothly when I am there though. I just...

I want to try fermented pickles. I was trying to see what I can get local or shipped from amazon. I am guessing you probably have to burp the bottle you have manually, or just leave it without the clamp on for the first few days. The alternative to mason jars though I think is just to get a...

I think my seeds are old. I'll order all new stuff. Just curious, Does it keep regrowing or is more seasonal?

Might go that route also. I have seeds for super hot peppers as well. Might just have to watch a few videos how to start them

Here is an article from yesterday that Carrefour is not going ahead with the sale of the Argentinian subsidiary anymore, but is instead looking to grow in Argentina. A bit of good news. Carrefour canceled the sale of the chain in Argentina and announced a new plan for the country

I really want to make a good dill pickle. I can't buy them here, There was a German pickle available but not anymore, and the others are just vinegar/refrigerator style which are too different. Are the ones you make the ones typically on sandwiches/burgers? Do you mind sharing your recipe. Its...
