    Crypt coin shared by Argentina's President Javier Milei skyrocketed Friday, then collapsed

    I'm not sure whether to groan or just laugh. What a shitshow. "OK, they've done their job, we don't need these guys anymore..."

    These are all good points.

    Recycling old cell phone?

    Go to your local McDonalds. Leave it on the table while you go to the restroom. Someone will adopt it before you get back.

    Milei’s plan to free $270bn cash stuffed under Argentine mattresses

    This is a good example of why Adorni won in the upper class and upper-middle class neighborhoods on Sunday, and Santoro won the whole south of the city, where the working class lives. To be fair, though, even in the barrios where he won, Santoro's margins of victory were slim, The LLA actually...

    Phone service in BsAs

    OK, I confess I hadn't thought it through carefully when I pronounced this change to be good. Now I've read the info at the link you provided, Frank, I can see that this is in fact a very bad idea. In seeking to "provide a carrot to the CABA middle class" as you so well state it, they're...

    Well, that's nice. Now if they would eliminate the import taxes on PC's and PC components, that would be even nicer. It's not like Argentina produces any of that stuff.

    Caputo creating a tax haven for dollars "from wherever"

    Blue dollar is a yo-yo today. First it dropped 5 pesos to 1165, then it went up 10 pesos to 1175. God only knows what will happen the rest of the afternoon. Frank has done a good job of explaining some of what's pushing it down, but obviously there's something pushing it back up, at least a little.

    Budget cut: Train to Pinamar terminated

    Why, thank you, Perry. Your kind words are appreciated. It's just infuriating when government uses this "austerity" excuse to do such stupidly shortsighted things.

    Budget cut: Train to Pinamar terminated

    I did a little more searching around and found this video. The video was posted three months ago. The second comment from the top, by @fmartello, says that the ticket for the train costs less than half the cost of a micro. Contrast that with the costs quoted by Antipodean above. Same comment...

    Caputo creating a tax haven for dollars "from wherever"

    Dude, don't say things like that; you nearly gave me a heart attack! It went down 20 pesos or 1.68%, to 1170 By contrast, the BNA dollar, or official dollar, is down 6.17%

    Budget cut: Train to Pinamar terminated

    1) Greater fuel efficiency means less pollution. 2) Less congestion on the roads improves safety, and traffic flow, and reduces wear and tear (thus maintenance costs on the roads and bridges). 3) The track itself already existed, so construction costs are irrelevant. 4) The train provides...

    Budget cut: Train to Pinamar terminated

    Where did you see the part about only twice a week? If you look here, there are various and contradictory clues. First it says it runs more frequently in Summer. Then below that it says one trip per day. Below that it says only Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. Hard to figure out. As far as...

    Budget cut: Train to Pinamar terminated

    That is indeed very, very sad. Especially when the service was just restored in in 2021.
