5 times more expensive than in Spain, that is just horrible. Here in the northern part of Villa Urquiza, I haven't seen too many places closing yet, but you can tell they are hurting. I personally no longer visit places where I used to spend money on a very regular basis. I recently stopped...

Well, that's pretty damning. My LORD the difference in restaurant prices!

Yeah, right, in his dreams.

A good observation, but it would still affect Argentina, right? And Brazil, which might lead to another devaluation of the real, thus putting even more pressure on the Argentine peso.

As amusing as that would be, it seems highly unlikely.

That's the current theory, but no lab results have yet been made public. But more important than that, the Sarandi flows into the Rio de la Plata, and that's where CABA gets its water, for drinking and everything else. I don't think that being casually dismissive of this is really a good idea.

This is the sort of thing that a responsible government would crack down on very, very hard. But since this is Argentina, we get this - "Residents report that the stream has exhibited various unusual colors in the past — gray, green, violet, blue and brown — often with an oily surface. They say...

True, and Argentina won't be missed, but the USA usually supplies the lion's share of the funding for any international organization to which it belongs. Then again, I'm not a huge fan of the WHO, mostly because of their (in my opinion) highly questionable role in the response to the corona...

Desperately kissing ass, in hopes that Trump will make IMF loan him money without lifting the CEPO.

This is the standard boilerplate blah blah blah given by everyone every time. Except it's just not true. But at least this is only horses. In Japan, they've just given the green light to a project to produce a human-animal hybrid...

Because Argentina

"The beatings will continue until morale improves."

Browsing through that same publication, I found something else quite interesting - https://watchers.news/2025/02/03/asteroid-2024-yr4-triggers-planetary-defense-procedures/

Alien Invasion has begun.

Among other evils, it led to massive capital flight. Even though IMF rules say they will not extend loans where they cause capital flight.

Stop and think about what that means. They have to borrow money to make the payments on a loan. How does that ever end well? Why would any lender in their right mind loan money for that purpose?

Well, that's profoundly disturbing.

Certainly that is what Perón would have done. It is what any reasonable government would demand. I was chatting with a taxi driver some while ago, talk turned to politics and he was expressing his discontent at the situation. Being ironic, I asked him "so, you're not a fan of the Peronists?"...
