This is not true. Toyota manufactures the Hilux pickup truck and SW4 suv in Zarate, Provincia of Buenos Aires and exports more than 3/4 of the production. Ford manufactures the Ranger pickup truck in Pacheco, Provincia of Buenos Aires and exports more than 3/4 of the production...

Toyota sells the Tacoma in the North American market and it's been the best selling mid size truck for decades there.

This is a cherry picked bad example; you can buy a Ford Bronco Badlands Sasquatch, which is better in every way than that Jeep Wrangler for $75k USD (look on mercado libra) which is not much more than USA MSRP. Plus you can get the 21% IVA back as a tax credit if you have a business here.

Over the last 20 years I've had a foolproof indicator of when the currency is grossly overvalued and due for a brutal devaluation. When my basic in white employees take home salary is $1000 USD or more per month the currency is way overvalued; this occurred in 2011, 2017, and now in the Milei...

This is not correct. Brasil also has nuclear reactors and nuclear power plants. Angra 1 and 2 are operational and Angra 3 is under construction. The nuclear complex is located on the coast about halfway between São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.

Nightlife in Buenos Aires is a shell of what it was before COVID. The nightlife scene is dead except for Friday and Saturday and even those are down 70-80% compared to pre COVID levels. The cause of this is multi faceted; the first reason is young people simply have little or no disposable...

I spent significant time in both La Rioja and Catamarca provinces a few years ago while on a self drive 4x4 expedition and visited both Fiambala and Tinogasta. There is not much going on at all in Fiambala other than the termas outside of town which are a worthwhile experience. Fiambala is the...

I appreciate the detailed and well written response. Back in 2012-2013 Dr. Rubilar was able to win my case in 16 months; it would have likely happened even sooner if I hadn't dragged my feet in obtaining some documents the judge asked for from the USA. At that time, if you didn't already have...

Where are you getting this information from about "hundreds" of unresolved cases ? How do you know the exact circumstances of each case ? From the information you think you know, why are other attorneys or individuals being granted citizenship but Dr. Rubilar's clients, who according to you...

I have spent time in Saint Tropez in July and August and it's truly a great place with a special vibe and is actually not horrifically expensive for the quality. Punta del Este is nothing like this and has always been a poor value for what you get as the high season is really only several weeks...

I've skied at Bariloche. It is large and the area is beautiful and has everything you could possibly want; however it is also obscenely crowded and often has very poor snow quality and coverage. My idea of good snow is Alta/ Snowbird, Big Sky, Vail and Niseko (Hokkaido Japan); Bariloche snow...

Cerro Castor in Tierra del Fuego (20-30 minutes outside Ushuaia ) has the most reliable snow in Argentina and plenty of intermediate level terrain. The infrastructure on the mountain (lifts, food/beverage etc) is quite good by South American standards and parking is very easy and free. The top...

Juan Peron was elected President and his wife Isabel Peron was elected Vice President with 61.86% of the votes on September 23, 1973. Upon Juan Peron's death in 1974, Isabel Peron became the President as she was first in line of succession as the sitting Vice President. I suggest you...

It is factually accurate to state that horrific crimes were committed on both sides and it is important to focus on what the situation was like in Argentina in the years leading up to the March 24, 1976 military takeover of the government. In the two or three years before the takeover Argentina...

I'm in the bar/nightclub/restaurant business in both the USA and Argentina. It pains me to have to report the declining alcohol consumption among the under 30 crowd and declining attendance at bars/nightclubs. In the USA, the legalization of THC products has also greatly contributed to the...

What is really happening here is that in Argentina, the USA, the UK and possibly others areas of the world young people are consuming little or no alcohol. Part of the reason for this is that young people have far less disposable income than they used. The other part is that there are now...

New Garden sells a fiber cereal by the kg. It does taste as good as FiberOne or AllBran but it does it serves its purpose.

As mentioned in the article, mid sized pickup trucks are extremely popular in Argentina and for good reason. The most popular models are all manufactured in Argentina (Toyota Hilux, Ford Ranger, VW Amarok) which means that parts/service availability will never be an issue anywhere inside the...

This. People may not realize it judging by today's Spain, but back in the Franco era the country was extremely poor and suffered from shortages of food and other essentials. There was a mass emigration from Francoist Spain to Cuba, Argentina, Mexico, etc. My wife's grandparents emigrated...

The current system allows for holders of CLU "use civil condicional" to purchase as many firearms as they would like of any calibre with no magazine size restrictions. Currently rifles may only be bolt action (although a new decree allows AR15 style semi automatic rifles after having held a...
