I'm finding it impossible to make an appointment with the Social Security counselor there. I haven't received my payment this month (my bank account was screwed up- now it's okay), and dealing with the Embassy by phone (living, breathing humans used to answer) or through the website is...

Many thanks, Johngwyn, for your kind offer of help. But with those prices and his expat target audience, I don't think he or she is right for me. Saludos

Looking for a furnished studio or one bedroom apartment in Recoleta/Barrio Norte or San Nicolas. Anyone know a trustworthy relator? Many thanks for any help you may provide.

Nope. Not yet.

Hello Mageesa- I've never had any trouble giving anyone a few bills. But you can also buy and bring them food- a couple empanadas, this or that... Another way is to donate to one of the several feeding programs (comedores) in town. Thanks for caring. You're heart's in the right place. Big Hug

Look, I'm not sure what the correct answer is to this pressing question. But I'm positive that if we do not find the truth - AND FAST! - caos will ensue.

It's possibly mollejas (or sweetbreads)

Exactly!

My BsAs and hope for country is the ousting of this venal, dominating Oligarchy that's causing the suffering of millions. And, yes, better cheese.

Some price increases are masked by shrinkflation. Yesterday I bought a tube of toothpaste for the same price it cost months ago. Imagine my pure joy. But when I got home I realized that before it was 100 gms and now 90. Imagine now my horror! I sat in a fetal position for several hours...

This is "Trickle Down" economy:

Prices through the roof. About 50% poverty. Masses living in the streets. Many retirees (living?) on less than U$S 300/mo. Social programs severely cut. Children's hospital recently closed that treated 600,000 patients in the past year, many with cancer and other fatal ailments. Medical...

Been here for 27 years w/o incident. I feel much safer here than in any big city in the US. Just conceal your phone when walking around. Come on down.

As was clearly stated, INDEC! And if you do your due diligence and are open to the truth (thousands of sick kids no longer receiving treatment, retirees "living" on U$S 300 a month, hoards of people living on the streets, etc. etc. ad nauseum) you'll find many other sources.
