I watched from my friends balcony on Av. de Mayo and walked down for the start of the speech, and early in the morning to see the crowd. Definitely some fanatics; people say he has nothing in common with Trump (haha) but the weird messianic imagery their fans occasionally embrace creeps me out...

Yeah even I have a dated sense of prices. I saw a roast chicken here for 6000 pesos and I thought, oh that's almost as much as the USA. But my friend back there told me that chicken would be $12 now. I just don't buy them at home.

I go to steak places that run about $8 for a steak that I can share with a friend, the bus is six cents to get there and then I can go dancing for $2USD afterwards, or go the opera for under $10... I guess it depends what you get up to. Don Julio is great, but is it 7x as great as some other...

Just out of curiosity, how long did it take from inky fingers to the document arriving at your house? I need to do that this year. I might have the same problem... no answers for you, only more questions.

I was wondering where this all started... Given that this was for the small stakes of selling a pre- construction condo, are you implying he was threatening you? (Having met a few fathers over the years; I would guess he was bragging 😆...)

Tell the truth were you thinking of this movie scene when you wrote this?

I will be there too.

Yeah, I saw this and looked it up. Biden made the usual call, and Milei seems to have changed his mind about his first international visit being to Israel. Sounds like hes going to be visiting the IMF, WB, and various treasury officials. Hes bringing Caputo. Probably a wise first move, with...

I opened my wallet to go to the St. Regis thing, because I didnt know about the other options. I regret nothing. It was the chef from the US Embassy; very interesting gourmet interpretations of the classics. Some strange substitutions of blueberries where cranberries would have made more sense...

Don Julio has been warned; well-done steaks with ketchup will be the special of the day.

A friend once quipped that Argentinas economy is what would have happened if the South had won the US Civil War... which might help explain the Confederate flags at Milei rallies? Now we have to unravel their deep ties to New Hampshire... (just kidding, of course)

All I can say is I've never seen longer Wu línes than this morning. But I think it's just the long weekend.

I had to wait untill I was on a different phone to see this; not everyone has Twitter. Are you seriously asking why it takes less time to count physical papers in a box vs verifying signatures, unfolding, un-creasing, scanning, adjudicating ballot errors, on a ballot with multiple pages, printed...

Oh I'm all for law and order and crime and punishment and all that good stuff. But I'm not sure we want to have people shooting suspected criminals in the street, all willy nilly. Most of the people doing the beating in this case didn't see the actual crime, and were making an educated guess...

A couple days ago I was meeting a friend for lunch downtown and there was a crowd of people looking across the street at some cops who were surrounding a bleeding guy slumped by a building. I asked what's up, and a bystander told me a robbery. I ask, is that the victim or the robber? The robber...

Reading the chatter on social media, I'm going to predict some messiness tomorrow with ballots because it seems LLA is a bit disorganized in the provinces as far as having enough poll workers (?). It also sounds like they're not sending as many ballots to prep the rooms in the morning, with the...

So someone posted that on BAFoodies FB a while back, I just called they have reservations available on all the days! Are you interested? We could have a blind thanksgiving meetup. I want that turkey; it looks like a fancy fancy place! Send me message, anyone who wants to join. I'll make reserve...

This looks like a (luxurious) possibility for us. I sent them a whatsapp to see if they still have space... anybody interested? Looks like a fancy restaurant, $30 feast. Let me know! I can make a reservation. It's the 23rd, 24th and 25th....

I'll swing by this time for a bit!

I think the taxes would have to be in the negative zone before people moved their accounts out of the black, otherwise what's the incentive? I would think reducing taxes gradually while beefing up enforcement might coax the unruly herd back into the pen... And really, it's hard to imagine...
