They booked the combi before they arrived to Argentina. I'd assume they booked it under a name with a destination. If someone within the transportation company was involved they'd have a list of the bookings. I'm just speculating. Maybe they could have just seen people that looked rich at the...

Fair point

It's a mix, but the one who allegedly pulled the trigger is Venezuelan. Only holding up signs as to blend in while they were picking a victim, not that they would actually take someone for a ride. I can't blame the minibus driver. Are you going to risk your life so that someone doesn't have...

Ventanilla, you should take into consideration what lamarque wrote, he knows what he's talking about. Land reform isn't as black and white as you describe. Has it worked in some countries - yes, but it has mostly failed, especially in Latin America. The problem is that many times productivity...

No. It will now also be applied to buying dollars from the bank for savings. https://www.ambito.com/economia/dolar/la-compra-dolares-atesorar-tambien-pagara-30-impuesto-n5071750

In one article I read it claimed that the "marcadores" would hold up signs with false names as to blend in with the other drivers waiting for pickup. It went to say that they would pick victims out based on appearance, if that had fancy watches, etcetera. But, they seemed too lucky. They picked...

It's practically a 30% devaluation for anyone that wants to save. Is hyperinflation coming?

With the new 30% tax, $200 has basically come down to 0. So much for that $2,000 per month as Alberto wanted according to BajoC

He did abuse his power through changing the constitution, but not sure he should be labeled a dictator. With this upcoming global recession there is a good chance Bolivia gets hit hard and the people look to Evo for bringing back the good old days in a few years. Despite their shortcomings I...

Exhibit A - Ad hominem attacks. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PS - I don't find you pathetic Bajo. You seem like a good man who fights for what he believes...

Why? Does it have to do with the oil industry?

Sorry to hear about your experience, things like that they can be extremely frustrating in this country. Don't beat yourself up too much about it Aloha Boy. We've all gone through learning experiences here.

BajoCero constructs a good portion of his identity around being a K. Please don't say anything negative about CFK + Kiciloff, or Bajo's identity will feel attacked.

Oklahoma City...if we want to consider that first-class :D .

This is assuming any expat from a "first world country" is here because it's cheap. I'd much rather live in Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Lima than Zurich which has a higher quality government, economy, services and it's not because it's cheaper here. Cost doesn't always equal quality. Angola...

OP - If an Argentine was living in the United States and complaining about the US war in Afghanistan, the treatment of immigrants on the border, Donald Trump, Instagram influencers, the DMV or shitty fast food would you say that is in poor taste?

Oh... https://www.infobae.com/economia/2019/12/10/el-nuevo-bcra-mantendra-el-tope-de-usd-200-mensuales-y-apunta-a-una-baja-moderada-de-tasas/

Perhaps. That would make more sense. That he stuck it in between a newspaper seems like he was trying to conceal it though. If he just walked out with it in his hand that is another story.
