To the title of this thread - it is not like idea of cyberpatrullaje is something new to Argentina. The former Alberto Fernandez-CFK government used it to "predict future crimes" and it was implemented by the Macri government before them for the same reported objective, complete with cases of...

No - Argentina is a democracy. I would take the story and the title of this thread as "fake news" given the absence of any official position, policy or draft on the subject and using just a little bit of common sense. A quick search and you will also note that it is absent from mainstream media...

Anyone here for long enough or familiar with a few decades worth of Argentine history knows that it is the norm rather than the exception for Argentines to travel abroad to get better prices when shopping for most consumer items. Many things are simply cheaper in Chile than in Argentina...

The highest retirement age in the world is in countries like Greece and Norway... 67, while the life expectancy in Argentina is currently 75. Until something official actually comes out, I can't help but suspect but in the mix of some frenzied anti-Milei reporting bandwagon and/ or clumsy...

See page 15. This sector currently has wages ranging from around 600k to 1.7m. Far above the national minimum wage of 234k.

With the proposed rates of 14%-18% which is much higher than the customary 10%, should it come to pass, I'd be interested to see the small print of the law to understand if the employees will receive 100% of it or if the union who is "advocating" this law will receive some kind of cut...

An obligatory tip is not a tip, it is a charge. They should adopt the Brazilian model of automatically including 10% on the bill and allowing customers to pay it by card and not subjecting it to one of the various transaction and business taxes that would otherwise apply under current...

Politics and finances. Despite the austerity of this government, the Argentine state still needs a lot of money to keep the lights on and keep up with its pre-existing public debt to the order of about half-a-trillion dollars. From a financial point of view, this government still depends on...

With the end/ reduction of costly energy subsidies and with significant union mandated wage increases for porteros and building staff this year in an as yet still inflationary economy, what else would anyone actually expect? Between January 2023 and December 2023 my expensas more than doubled...

UBA also accepts and distributes donations of warm clothing, blankets etc during the winter with various drop off points around the city. https://www.uba.ar/ubanoticias/noticias/323

I would agree that foreign currency will never show the reality of local income vs costs in any country, while it may serve for comparative purposes such as understanding the value of wages in FX terms. Also would agree that to use the canasta basica total vs minimum wage to show the true change...

I would argue that a Nordic model it is very much user pays and is different from a UK or US style model as you describe - everyone pays and everyone has guaranteed and equal access to all state social welfare services from birth until death without things like means-testing or incentives/...

Foreign idealists often cite Nordic models (many without ever having set foot there let alone lived there for any meaningful amount of time) to back up their policial beliefs as if it were some kind of silver bullet on a smorgasbord of simple policies you can pick and choose. Yet they always...

Wrong. Here is a tax summary in English in case language barrier is an issue about Argentine taxes. https://taxsummaries.pwc.com/argentina/individual/taxes-on-personal-income#:~:text=The%20average%20tax%20rate%20is,the%20City%20of%20Buenos%20Aires. Looks pretty progressive to me... the...

Ríes, it seems understanding non-US taxes is not your strongpoint. 1. The 78% tax referenced in your post includes the basic corporate tax of 22% that applies to almost all tax resident companies (FYI - “CIT” = corporate income tax) 2. The 56% special tax levied on oil and tax has a unique...

What similarities and differences exactly between Norwegian/ generic OECD corporation tax models and what Milei is already proposing should be looked at? A lower corporate tax (currently 35% in Argentina since around 2021 when Alberto put it up from 30%….) to 25% or 22% would be welcome, but...

This is just the saftey/ atc workers Union. It doesn’t affect the airport police (PSA) pilots airlines staff or other workers at the airports themselves - meaning departure and arrival slots would likely be reprogrammed (similar to European atc strikes)
