Hey shouldn't that be if massa wins and Milei cries fraud, the other guy keeps your cash? That's only fair if you're going to "both sides" the issue... 😆

Yeah my main reason for Massa would be that he doesn't seem like a loose cannon rolling around. Just a normal corrupt politician.There was an interesting podcast interviewing Milei neighbors in Abasto about the dogs, etc. ...

My Bullrich-supporting friends are mostly doing the same. I still think Massa will win, but itś going to be a tight race; and certainly we will be hearing allegations of fraude if Massa wins.

If the future President of Argentina makes the legal process of immigrating more difficult, that would qualify in my book; and that's what I was wondering about. If he gives rousing speeches describing how foreigners are “poisoning the blood of our country”, if he suggests shooting illegal...

Well, technically everyone who enters from Mexico illegally is a criminal, and he certainly wanted to put a stop to that. He was also not to keen on immigrants from Muslim countries. For instance: "When I’m elected I will suspend immigration from areas of the world where there’s a proven history...

Eek that would put a cramp in my style. But I don't think that's in the future with Massa, since they did the opposite for Credit Cards just this year, right? Who knows what Milei would do, in the meantime while he waits for dollarization.

I know I'm not a permanent person, but I always bring $USD with me to pay rent, pay for private lessons, any sort of transaction where I'm friendly with the seller and want to make their dollar mattress a little 'fluffier'... most of my friends who come for more than a few months bring cash, as...

Of course, the economy; which is probably going to favor those earning in dollars either way. (I assume Milei less in favor of a wealth tax?) But I see he also favors ¨certain restrictions to foreign nationals, such as the payment of residency fees, the prohibition of entry to those with...

I saw it too and I'm sorry you took it down. You're the only other person I've met who had mincemeat pie as a Thanksgiving staple. If Thanksgiving existed in Argentina, there would be two dozen tangos on the theme of melancholy turkeys eaten alone in a cold apartment, remembering his mother's...

It seems one of these EEUU style restaurants would have a dinner that day with all the fixins. (Im thinking of a BBQ joint I see when Im walking in the park north of the embassy, but I cant find any ads yet for anything. Kansas Grill seemed to do it previous years). Restaurant Thanksgiving is a...

Oooo I want to get in on some Thanksgiving action! I'll keep my eyes peeled. Last year BA Foodies Facebook group had a big potluck. (No turkeys or pumpkin pies, of course.)

Yes I suspect a lot of those mattresses are in vaults in Panama, or the Cayman Islands... though I have read that Argentina has the 2nd most dollars in the world, after the USA!

Big lines at the petrol station on Scalabrini in Palermo tonight (2 blocks long at 11:30 at night); grumpy drivers getting very irate. Never saw this down here before, anyone else?

Iĺl stop by!

I will swing by and say hi!

What I found interesting about this whole thing is that, while itś pitched as a story ¨Socialist Biden will make America into Venezuela Argentina¨, I came across it on the Argentina subreddit. There, it was met with resounding acclaim (that thread is very pro-Milei, with the same kinds of...

Hah! I can't say I predicted his win, but back in October '21 I said (regarding Milei), "From here in the USA, I think he's got a future." (because his trajectory through the political media landscape reminded me so much of Trump in 2015)...

Do you recall what the floor is for the wealth tax?

The locals I know who bought either scrimped and bought tiny dark places, got a "deal" from a family member, got a loan from family which they pay back like a mortgage, or.... Work for a big multinational bank. Oh but the landlord of my place had a bunch of apartments, he just saved up the rent...

Well, unexpected if you didn't have the Argentine Holidays tab of your Google calendar ticked off...
