Well, well, well! That rather short article is surprisingly on-target! This is far better journalism than I expect from the Guardian. No doubt the author will find himself looking for a job soon.

Well, Frank, I do thank you for those words of encouragement, but the challenge for me personally will be surviving the next year. Hopefully we will get a better COLA next January than the 2.5% pittance we got this year. By all I have read and seen, inflation in the USA was far more than that...

Yeah, I saw that. The BNA dollar is at 1190 and the Blue closed the day at 1185, much to my sorrow and disappointment, after rallying so encouragingly last week.

I know it isn't funny, but that satellite pic just above startled a laugh out of me. There is just NOTHING south of the Pyrenees, except for that one little dot on the coast. Now, obviously, it's going to take at least medium sized town to show up at that scale, but still; Spain & Portugal are...

And this morning, (afternoon in Europe by now), the Spanish gov't are saying they still don't know what caused it. Oddly enough, yesterday some Portuguese sources were saying that an "atmospheric disturbance" over Spain caused the outage.

Holy crap! But Spain is an EU country. Such things are not supposed to happen... https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c9wpq8xrvd9t BBC says power coming back on in Madrid and rural areas to the north, and that overall about 20% of the net is back up

I'm expecting to get an SSA 7162 this year. Can someone remind me in what month they usually mail those out?

Yes, of course, that's a brilliant solution! The very next time I talk to the President or the Speaker of the House, I'll be sure to mention that.

Exactly the same for me. Rent now consumes half of what I get from Social Security each month, for a one bedroom apartment in Villa Urquiza. ...and it will go up again at the end of May.

If that is the case, why would they be able to hold down the MEP without spending dollars now? See what I mean? If it was necessary then, it's necessary now. Unless you can point to something huge that's changed.

If that is the case, why did Macri and now Milei blow through billions of dollars keeping the Blue down? Why didn't they just use the MEP to control it?

Hey, Steve I find this much easier to believe than that pyramid nonsense above. I'm not faulting the member who posted it, but it's based on government economic figures, and I don't believe those at all.

I hadn't heard about the BNA and the Blue being "pegged". By all means please tell us more.

Man, oh man, but this thread is depressing, and really discouraging. But hey, at least the Blue went back up a little bit today, from 1150 to 1185. I have no idea why, but it did. Maybe it's just dead cat bounce.

Another one in same boat here! I really need a US phone number to which my bank can send a text for 2FA purposes, or even a voice call will do. I was looking at Tello yesterday, but I found it very confusing. I'm looking for something desktop, and Tello seemed to be more like "sign up and we'll...

This is tangential, and not proof of anything at all, but I just remembered something Robert Cox said about when he was arrested by the Dictatorship in 1977 over things he had written in the old BA Herald, (the original one, not the trivial, neutered thing that bears the name today). In his own...

Mostly here in Argentina https://www.rt.com/news/615554-cia-hitler-secret-search/ Personally, I strongly suspect this is all utter nonsense. Then again, I read an account by a US Navy officer who claimed to have seen and conversed with Martin Bormann in 1946 in Austria. So, who knows? I'll...

Go back to page 1 of this thread, and look carefully at post #7

The last statement from IMF said, "it's down to the board of directors to decide", and that's still the case according to this news item. So it doesn't seem that anything has changed, why the announcement? Is it just something they did at Milei's request, to calm the nerves of those who scan the...

Look at that picture at the top of the article and tell me, where's her arm? Look at her right arm, the one extended toward Caputo. The sleeve extends toward him, and then there's nothing. In any case, it makes me sick when they say things like "rapid disinflation". Say &^*%#@ WHAT? Hello...
