    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    There's always somebody who has to bring politics into it. This is why we can't have nice conversations.

    Does anyone else feel there might be a peso collapse this year?

    The train is a colorful analogy, and one which bears a large measure of truth. The question about the IMF is harder to answer. The question you ask about how can Argentina ever repay the debt then begs another question, what is the IMF really about? Why do they exist, and what is their raison...

    Climate in Argentina

    What part of the country are you in? You say "out here" so I assume that means you're not in CABA.

    Does anyone else feel there might be a peso collapse this year?

    Aaaand right back up to 1280 today In other words, the gov't spent a bunch of dollars to stomp it down yesterday, but the pressures driving it upwards are still there.

    Argentina makes international news for...cops beating up old people.

    Yeah, they went apeshit overboard today, They had the steel barricades up all around both the Casa Rosada and the Hall of Congress, several blocks of streets closed off, a couple subway stations closed, and a massive number of cops out to menace those incredibly dangerous seniors, who clearly...

    Does anyone else feel there might be a peso collapse this year?

    I wasn't seriously wishing for 5000. With respect, I'm not sure I agree with your analysis. First, we have seen many times that a jump in the blue dollar will cause increased prices even though the official dollar remains substantially unchanged. Second, I doubt that we will ever see a...

    Does anyone else feel there might be a peso collapse this year?

    I'm seeing it back down to 1285, where it started the day. But I do believe Joddson is correct; once the actual run starts, there will be no stopping it.

    Argentina makes international news for...cops beating up old people.

    There is something seriously wrong with these people. Yes. But surely that has been evident from the very start. For example, when that group of the leading lights of LLA went to visit the prison for a grinning group photo with some of the worst of those imprisoned for "genocide" during the...

    Tomato industry staggers under an avalanche of cheaper imports

    Well done! So what is pebre like? I wish I had access to a coop like that. There is a "feria" that sets up at the square here in Northern Villa Urquiza every other Saturday, but their prices are nothing to get excited about, not at all. They charge 90-95% as much as the local verdulero, and...

    Argentina makes international news for...cops beating up old people.

    It is my considered opinion that the whole Left-Right paradigm was a 20th century way of looking at things. Today, it's just a distraction. The great struggle of the 21st century is the ultra-rich against the rest of humanity.

    Is Donald Trump good for Argentina?

    With respect, you might want to read the full article, Lanick. The author has some reservations, and clearly explains why. That being said, the photoshopped picture of Trump at the top of the article is good for a laugh.

    Argentina makes international news for...cops beating up old people.

    Man, I swear, this thread is an in-a-nutshell example of what's so great about these forums. When I started it Thursday morning, I more or less expected it to be ignored. But here we are nearly to the bottom of a third page, and we have everything from passionate debate on social justice to some...

    Argentina makes international news for...cops beating up old people.

    Setting aside the major uncertainty over what did or did not happen in Tiananmen Square 36 years ago,and just accepting for the sake of argument what you've said, are you telling us that because a repressive government in another country did major bad things, it's OK for the government of...
