No kidding. If you shut down half the government without caring about the impact on the people those departments serve, and fire tens of thousands of government workers without concern as to how they’ll feed their families - turns out you can save loads of cash. Milei is a genius!!!! Wake me...

Are the dominoes starting to fall? It's feeling like it... 1. The stats come out yesterday showing Argentina is officially in recession https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-06-24/milei-austerity-pushed-argentina-into-recession-in-first-quarter 2. Blue hits 50% gap against the Dolar...

Yes it's getting sweet ... for now; who knows what will be in a week

I’m not Milei fan but it’s hard to take a video seriously which is tagged #worldwar3

I go to Patio Bullrich all the time, it doesn’t seem hot to me. Maybe you’re used to colder temperatures.

For what it’s worth I’ve been here 18 months now and gone in and out plenty of times with a bunch of overstays and only now got my first comment from migraciones that I should apply for a DNI because I’m pushing it a bit too far.

I brought two. They couldn’t care less. They care much more about Argentinians than about foreigners

Tigre/Nordelta?

I take lessons with a teacher from this group. It’s good. https://www.instagram.com/escuelavesre?igsh=NTA3Y3E2bjYybDV4

Have they had exposure to Spanish? My kids couldn’t follow school the first couple months, even though my wife always spoke to them in Spanish. Kids are fast learners but not two-months fast; with just two months you’ll be taking them out of school just when they start understanding what’s being...

I did Avianca once. It was awful. No air conditioning, lumpy seats from twenty years ago. Never again. Delta’s direct flight is seasonal, so in winter American will be the only option. And it’ll be $$$$$.

Paying a bit over $600 USD now for family of 4 with Swiss Medical. Even if other prices go down and stabilize, I don’t think health insurance will go back to what it was (without regulations). They won’t care about losing customers; they’ll keep pushing the rates until they reach the point where...

The whole dance is about 10-20 minutes. But I can’t recall if you need to pay with peso or credit card is accepted.

Yes it’s easy but ask someone for help finding the office, it’s small and you won’t locate it on your own. You need to pay it before you check in.

If DC also shut down half the state’s departments and services with zero regard for the impact on the lives of its residents, they’d also end their deficit. It’s not very impressive. If he reduced the deficit while not destroying quality of life for Argentine citizens - that would be impressive.

I have a few local friends who own businesses, and from my conversations (and of course this is anecdotal), small and medium size business owners here think in radically different terms to how we are used to in the USA and elsewhere. In the USA, business is all about the long term planning and...

Also anecdotely - my middle class local friends are dying right now and massively feeling this crunch. Their salaries have definitely not gone up anything close to the current inflation. Plenty of things like food and gas are 2.5x what they were four months ago; salaries have not increased by...

Maybe if you live in Beverly Hills. My lawyer in NYC cost $1000 and did everything.

Drudge reporting today on Milei’s social media habits: https://www.yahoo.com/news/argentinas-troll-president-milei-takes-012820845.html I lived in the US during the Trump presidency and this is pure deja vu. I’ve seen this movie before…

If it’s true. Which it probably isn’t. “Central Bank data”
