No it wasn't; hypocrisy is the homage that vice pays to virtue. He wants the plebs to repatriate their dollars and capitalize Argentine banks while he is unwilling to do so himself as Economy Minister. That's the bullshit he got called out on, not the fact he has offshore accounts (which are...

Incredibly depressing story, and very strange, a Yanqui Cartonero isn't something I was expecting to see, let alone connected to this... If I remember correctly there's a former college basketball player from the US who lives up north or in Cordoba that was on the news during COVID for going to...

My layman's understanding is yes, you can, but you'd need to get the courts involved if he's not on your birth certificate as Lanick said. Your sister may be apprehensive though because Argentina has very strong paternal obligation laws, for example, you and your siblings would be entitled to...

I'm all for offering it, but I think the education system needs to focus on the basics first (including a living wage for teachers). Argentina scores well below the OECD PISA average, and I often see articles about how "X% of Argentine students can't read/do basic math/etc" and it's not a shock...

Voting was smooth for me today, no wait, no machine issues.

This is how I interpreted it as well. Bolivians and Paraguayans can come work as albañiles, en negro, working 12 hour days for 5.000 pesos, but he doesn't want them voting for president or having a passport or going to school or the hospital. I'm not a lawyer like you, and this is your...

A lawyer can start the naturalization process, this is what BajoCero specializes in. You can also change your immigration status once inside Argentina assuming you're from a visa free country if you end up studying, marrying someone, etc. The way they've been using DNUs is that they make a DNU...

Also: Those entering Argentina must present medical insurance: Enjoy 4 hour lines at Migraciones with this. It's Argentine's right to have entrance requirements, but doing to will drastically reduce inbound tourism, especially when basically every other caja at EZE/AEP is closed. The...

Edesur just guesses a lot of the time and I wouldn't be surprised if AySA does the same. Check your meter vs the bill and make any claims accordingly

Typical right wing bullshit; if you look at the government's own metrics, the prison population is 94% gente de un país con buena gente (Argentines), 4% from other neighboring countries + Peru, and a whopping 2% are real foreigners, i.e. non-latinos/people from 3rd countries for which there...

Call me skeptical because I have a feeling companies are going to do what the GM of MacStation said: "Well evaluate any steps we may take, which may be include better financing options" (i.e. they'll pocket the savings and continue to rob people blind). The people this is really good for are the...

It's safe IMO, but it also greatly varies depending where/when you use it. For example, subway is always safe except for pickpockets. Buses in CABA and Zona Norte are generally fine whenever, while buses in Zona Oeste and Zona Sur you have to keep your head up, and traveling in the early...

I go to the Instituto Superior de Otorrinolaringología on Pasteur, and IIRC there are 1 or 2 docs who speak English that asked to practice their English with me (I didn't have the heart to tell them to use Duolingo after work 😅 )

This might be CABA specific/no longer the case, but I started the process in person myself at the office in the Supreme Court, after that, basically everything else was via email for me with the exception of delivering the oficios/ordens to the assorted offices and ministries.

Dollar ATMs already exist and have for years and only two types exist: - ATMs that let people withdraw dollars from their dollar at account at said bank - Banelco/Link ATMs that let people withdraw dollars from any Argentine dollar account What isn't and won't be coming is ATMs like you find...

A lot of people were commenting on this article in La Nación about how cops are often connected to crimes, and I completely agree. This woman's phone was stollen while she was stuck in traffic, it was then hacked to unlock it, her accounts drained, loans taken in fraud, and then the same week...

Bajo and others might have different (and more correct take) than my own, but my layman's understanding is that migration irregularity is a civil issue, not a criminal one in Argentina, and this is something that's reaffirmed in various treaties Argentina has with neighboring countries...

I took one the other day and they're honestly convenient. Small and a bit slow, but given there isn't efficient North/South transport between 9 de Julio and Alem, it's nice to not have to travel in a Z pattern to get around. They're also free for first couple months so if you're downtown give...

You can search for automatic transmission cars on Mercado Libre and then message the dealerships via their website or social media. The other thing to keep in mind is that very few Argentine vehicles pass standard American/European safety tests and fold like a lawn chair on impact.

Obligatory not a lawyer/accountant: What Alby said is important to keep in mind about Argentina broadly (the law vs. real life), and, the later part even more so: I've yet to hear of/meet a single retiree here whose had to pay ganancias or any sort of tax. That being said, they've all been...
