    Getting cash USD out of Argentina

    I'd be careful with that. If two people are traveling together, I believe they can only take $10,000 in total. Each taking $10,000 is called structuring and is illegal without declaring the funds.

    Latin currencies

    Gold is a crap investment. The closest thing to risk free are t bills. As Ries said most South Americans, especially those in inflationary environments, don't stock pile cash in their currency. They invest in real estate home and abroad, keep cash in usd or stocks in the US. That's why...

    cashing out bitcoin while not being a resident

    The crypto exchanges are regulated so you'll need a DNI to use them. Same with banks. Maybe find someone trustworthy who wants to exchange pesos for crypto.

    Violent protests in Chile: Will this spread to Argentina?

    A neighboring country that is better off economically, not following a peronismo model, is a hard pill for many in Argentina to swallow. That's why you have some just making up things like Chile has more poverty or a smaller middle class, when in reality that just isn't true. I would still...

    Demonstration Alert - U. S. Embassy Buenos Aires, Argentina (November 22, 2019)

    I've also found it amusing that a politician in the US becomes a socialist when they advocate for universal health care. Why aren't politicians who support social security, medicare, public firefighters, state owned highways, government police force, farm subsidies, considered socialists too?

    By percentage of the population, the middle class is larger in Chile than in Argentina (pre-Macri)

    Unlikely. He was here on this thread back in April under the name lizlaz24 ranting and raving and telling people to stop talking about his activities because it was "old news".

    U.s. Citizen Apprehended For Crimes Committed In Ba

    Just says his case is still in progress, you need to enter in his name and the court "CCC". He continues to avoid extradition to the US, which means he's still in Buenos Aires, possibly playing doctor?

    Bolivia

    The catholic church is a criminal organization that conspired to protect child rapists from prosecution. They should focus on cleaning up their own crimes before commenting on the misdeeds of other countries.

    Central Bank seen seeking weak peso under Fernández

    Never said there is no difference between MM, CFK, and FF. I said it doesn't matter who is in power - Argentina's economy is structured around the exportation of agricultural products as seen in the data. Well, now this is a different argument from before. First you said they exported a lot...

    Plastic straws banned in BA restaurants.

    Even if a straw is a very small part of the problem, why not ban it anyway? Plastic bags, straws, now let's find the next single use plastic product that should be gone. They make corn starch utensils that are virtually indistinguishable from plastic utensils. That would be another plastic...

    Bolivia

    He did find a way to turn which should've been one 5 year term into 14 years and almost 20 years, which I don't know if too nice of a guy in an ugly sweater could pull off. Along side this current fascist "interim" government he does look like a saint though. Is there controversy about where...

    Central Bank seen seeking weak peso under Fernández

    If the car manufactures aren't keeping up with consumer tastes, what does that have to do with MM, CFK or any other politician? What should FF do to stimulate the export of cars? The article says much of their costs are in dollars so a weakening peso doesn't do anything to benefit them...

    Central Bank seen seeking weak peso under Fernández

    You said with a weak peso it is easier to export, which is true. But this article that you cite is saying why car exports have been falling this year despite a weak peso. The causes are building car models that have little demand, high taxes and a high dependance on a weak Brasil since that's...

    Central Bank seen seeking weak peso under Fernández

    If you look at the actual data, Argentina is exporting the same items now as they were with CFK. https://oec.world/en/visualize/tree_map/hs92/export/arg/all/show/2017/ , you can play around with the years here and see the changes (or lack of changes) in what Argenina has exported over the last...

    New Tourist Tax

    Typical Argentina. Tax and discourage whatever is working. They'll probably bring back the Visa Fee too.
