Very mysterious; has she never mentioned anything in the course of these talks you have? My mother has a bit of dementia and sometimes sideways questions elicit more information, like "where did you eat breakfast", vs. "what did you have for breakfast" (which my mother would never remember)...

Ah! You are correct! My point still stands but barely. Now I'm more worried about the us government getting things done.no more math when I'm about to leave the house 😄

In my opinion the "nutcase" aspect is even more important here than in the USA. People seem to have no confidence in the government (well, they're confident the government is a bunch of thieves), so they may keep the money abroad or in the mattress. Even some of my vaguely pro-Milei friends...

I spend too much time looking at Reddit, and I've seen the same thing. I wasn't too surprised when Milei won, though I thought there was a slight edge for Massa. Among my IRL Argie acquaintances, there was a mix, but tending anti-Milei. I meet a lot of musicians (anti-Milei) and people who...

I will be there

I'm curious about these walking groups too! What is IM in this context: "Look for walking and running groups on IM"?

Which is weird; people asking me for money in Villa Crespo are getting more and more insistent lately. I think I need to start keeping cash at the ready; my Argentine friends often give them a little something, but I don't like to get my wallet out of my bag in this situation. How much do you...

Thanks for the clarification of your source. These days whenever something is well-formatted, with bullet points, it raises alarms for me because (as in Steve's case) words and phrases that co-occur in close textual space can morph into 'facts' and cause LLMs to 'hallucinate'. I'm not a computer...

Just curious, did you get this from AI or another source? I've found it hard to find a definitive, up to date source on whether it's 6 months or 9 months (though I've heard the latter from an immigration attorney). Send a link! I'm less trusting of AI generated answers than a lot of people; for...

Sounds like Bessent is 'The Decider' today? "Congress allows the Treasury secretary to have full control over the use of the exchange stabilization’s funds." Or does the Fed Reserve have a say in it? "Although Bessent said that a central bank swap line is among tools that could be deployed...

This sort of went under the radar, when the Argentine delegation recently got all the way to the USA before they were told the visa-ending ceremony was cancelled. Trump is like Lucy and her football at times; I'll believe it when the money actually changes hands...

Just wanted to mention, came into the country a few days ago and showed the immigration dude my precaria. He didn't ask for proof of insurance or anything like that; curious if tourists are being asked?

I'll see you all there!

I'm in Buffalo NY at the moment; an American city that should be cheaper than BA, if there ever was one. Restaurant French fries are about $7, a hamburger 12-15+, supermarket sushi is $7 for a cheap roll. I paid $1.50 for a grapefruit. So a bit more expensive. A roast chicken in a supermarket is...

I'm a female and i don't get it. Maybe it's more glorious now than forty years ago, but my lasting memory is hiking across a random lawn between monorail tracks to see the animal shaped topiaries up close. They were plastic. More impressive was the fact they hired workers to pretend to trim...

I'm always astonished by the Argentine fascination with Disneyworld. It's $119/day now, so families with a few kids are paying a month's salary for a day's entry, and that doesn't include thousands more for airplane, hotel, food, etc. We went once when I was a kid (working class family)...

"It will likely take two to three years before visa-free travel becomes a reality for Argentine passport holders," (By which time, Trump may be on his way out, Milei may be on his way out, the economy in Argentina may have become more of a risk for overstays, etc. This is far from a sure thing...

Writing from Atlanta airport... Creepily enough, entry to USA no longer required showing a passport. You just stand in front of a camera and they say welcome back. Delta airline grilled me as much as migraciones in EZE, to return to USA where I'm a citizen. 'When did you arrive, oh that's your...

Cool! Will do the refundable return. Thanks for your advice!

Do you mean the question isn’t clear, or the answer isn’t clear? The question is: Does a person with a precaria, traveling from the USA to Argentina, need an airplane ticket back to the USA within 90 days of arrival. This is necessary for travel under a tourist visa.
