    From Spain, Milei spoke of his plans to remain in power until 2031

    That is indeed an amusing thought.

    From Spain, Milei spoke of his plans to remain in power until 2031

    That's just a machine translator being confused by the fact that the pronoun was probably skipped in the original Castellano, as in "Milei prometió si gana las próximas elecciones", which literally would translate as "Milei promised if wins the next election", so the translator inserts a...

    From Spain, Milei spoke of his plans to remain in power until 2031

    This is enough to make a vulture puke. People who don't live here, giving Milei some silly award for things he hasn't actually done. Milei speechifying pompously, and spewing insults. Blah blah blah blah, ad nauseam, ad infinitum.

    Argentina is now importing beef from Brazil

    Tried to google translate, and that worked, but when I pasted the link here, that didn't work. But here are a few juicy quotes - Meat imports— pork , chicken, and beef—are at historic highs, part of a strategy aimed at controlling domestic prices. Foreign purchases of beef were the most...

    Argentina is now importing beef from Brazil

    If Milei thinks he can go up against the SRA and its counterparts, and win, or ignore their interests, he is in for a very rude awakening. If he picks a fight with the cattle breeders, he is also picking a fight with the producers of soy and everything else agricultural, and retenciones from...

    Milei Beefs With Darin Over Price of a Dozen Empanadas

    I was just flabbergasted at his use of the phrase "movie stars and expats". That's like saying "Ferraris and cabbages". Who does this guy think we are?

    Milei attacks right to strike

    Three people are sitting at a table - a CEO, a worker, and a union rep. On the table are 10 cookies. The CEO takes 9 of them and says to the worker, "watch out for that union guy, he wants your cookie".

    Milei unveils bold plan to lure billions in undeclared dollars back home

    Very well said, Quilombo. It was a clear case of "the lady doth protest too much, methinks".

    Milei unveils bold plan to lure billions in undeclared dollars back home

    That video is solid gold. Caputo getting all indignant, and then insisting "having accounts offshore is permitted. Any Argentine can do that", with his, "are you saying that I have money under the mattress?". Of course you do.

    Less than half of public primary school students have access to English classes in Argentina

    Thanks for the update! My high school days were 50 years ago, if that makes you feel any younger

    Less than half of public primary school students have access to English classes in Argentina

    Keeping the lower classes ignorant is part of how they are controlled. "Give him a house and he'll be grateful for the rest of his life. Give him an education, and he'll try to overthrow you." Eh, I think the brits mostly study French or German. Despite the fact that it's the third most...
