    How is it that so many Argentinians can move to the US?

    It's actually very difficult, unless they already have an employer to sponsor them or relative in the US that can get their paperwork started. There are also a smaller number who can get in as "investors." Most Argentinians going to the US tend to be educated which helps. They aren't going there...

    It looks like El Palomar is closed permanently

    I think you're getting quite carried away. AR is also a SkyTeam member (along with other reputable airlines like KLM and Air France) and has a code share with Delta for some flights out of EZE (for these, Delta sets the price). If it was half as bad as you make it out to be, that wouldn't be the...

    It looks like El Palomar is closed permanently

    Yeah really. I always kind of asumed that the closest competitors of the lowcosts were the bus companies. I know my Jetsmart flight from Santiago (purchased the day before travel) was only marginally more expensive than an Andesmar bus that takes 20 or so hours via Los Caracoles. I'll miss El...

    Buenos Aires positions itself as a post-pandemic destination for digital nomads

    Fernando Straface gives a lot of platitudes here, but not a lot of specifics, and by "entrepreneurs" the author of the article seems to be imagining an influx of higher income business people, when in reality it will probably mean more expats of modest means teaching English remotely.

    Buenos Aires positions itself as a post-pandemic destination for digital nomads

    Things do tend to get easier when you move from the Third World to the First World. I bet the tap water is also drinkable in Amsterdam.

    Project underway to suspend elections in 2021

    I think this is because most expats are not literate in the nuances of Latin American politics, and tend to view things through the lens of their politics in their home country. Bolsonaro makes an easy target because the threat of an individual authoritarian leader makes sense to them more than...

    Buying a property in Buenos Aires

    Why don't you just buy an apartment abroad and bring it with you to Buenos Aires? Might simplify things.

    Permission to record conversation

    Was this specofically a phone conversation? Anything short of recording a phone conversation (which is illegal almost everywhere) is fair game. Look at how many conversations recorded in public are on youtube. One of the reasons I'm single at the moment is because my ex used to ambush me with...

    It’s official Joe Biden becomes the 46 President of the United States.

    Corruption and bribery are so instututionalized and normalized in US politics through the lobbying system and after Citizens United that it would take a lot of effort for a politician to actually break the law. The legal definition of corruption has become so narrow that even Trump and his...

    It’s official Joe Biden becomes the 46 President of the United States.

    No they weren't. To be "proved" one way or the other there would have to be an actual investigation by the authorities, which there wasn't. That's why they're "allegations." A NYT article, or a Bill Maher rant attacking Tara Reade's character is not the same as proving the allegations false...

    For a X-mas without political prisoners

    The only political prisoners I see are the vowels o and a.

    Looks like we're not getting another stimulus payment

    The Democrats have lost seats in the House in more than one election cycle on her watch, most recently last month. Her endorsement has also become toxic. Look at what it did for Joe Kennedy III who she pushed to run (and lose) in the Senate againt another Democrat for no reason at all other than...

    For a X-mas without political prisoners

    The only thing I see wrong there is the bad spelling.

    It’s official Joe Biden becomes the 46 President of the United States.

    I remember when the Tara Reade sexual assault allegations against Joe Biden first came out, some woke Democrats in the media were arguing that it shouldn't matter because Trump has still had more sexual assault allegations than him.

    Tourism open yet?

    Delta resumed flights this month but the prices range drastically, depending on destination and flight date. For instance, it was like $1200USD to PHX but only like $460 to Las Vegas (where I'm going in a couple of weeks), slightly more to LAX. I was living in Cambridge this time last year...

    That's a very privileged perspective you have there.

    Looks like we're not getting another stimulus payment

    Wall St. voted for her. Literally nobody likes this person except the DNC leadership because of her fundraising power. She's basically Mitch with botox and a thousand dollar haircut.
