RFK 2:42: Young adult cancer is up 79%. That's just classic scaremongering. https://seer.cancer.gov/statfacts/html/aya.html

When a country defaults on its debt, it's too late to talk about the economics. It's like the death of an economy. I know 'repudiating' sounds much cooler, but it's basically the same thing. After repudiating the debt, you can only mourn the economy.

I think you might need to hire a private investigator to track them down. On second thought, visiting https://moneygram.com.ar might do the trick too.

I noticed that Milei's government caused severe climate changes in Argentina. Since Milei assumed office in December, the average daily temperature in Buenos Aires has dropped by more than 10 degrees Celsius. If this trend continues, six months from now the temperature will drop below zero...

The main point of medical insurance is to protect you from the unexpected. You can rationalize about the cost of routine doctor visits or X-rays, but those are just side benefits. The real difference becomes clear if you're ever faced with a life-or-death situation. People who didn't have...

Sometimes it feels like a competition to imagine what the AFIP can infer. Whoever comes up with the most ideas gets 4.5 golden stars.

I think trying to convince a person who receives his pension through Western Union that he needs a lawyer and an accountant to oversee his extensive financial activity, otherwise the government will come after him, is a half-baked conspiracy theory. You are turning it upside down. I am saying...

You guys are projecting your own insecurities and trying to convince people that this is the way to go. If you are a professional money launderer, this blanqueo deal may be a lifetime opportunity. If you are a normal person, this "full legal protection from everything" doesn't mean much. It is...

By entering into the blanqueo program, you are essentially admitting that you have been a long-term tax evader. This is a pardon, after all. Even if AFIP forgives you, this may have other interesting consequences. For instance, if you decide to run for public office elsewhere or get a job in...

Now Carrefour has it too

Now that Argentina has strongly established itself as a military super-power. I guess the next logical step would be a Torchlight Parade /Fackelmarsch.

I've heard they grant residency right on the spot when the marriage is consummated. Just make sure to bring two witnesses with own candles, and an escribano.

Could you clarify what you are trying to achieve here? You've only been in the country for about five days as a tourist, and now you want the Argentinean police to certify that you haven't done anything bad in these 5 days?

This should have been Milei's presidential campaign slogan right from the start. Rejoice!

If you prefer to believe in the promises coming from an eccentric politician that are supposed to bring results in 15 years, that's definitely your choice. It's as if there were no competent economists trying to resolve Argentina's problems over the last couple of decades. But now, to the rescue...

This is the inflation rate chart, month-over-month. The December jump is the only 'Milei effect' that has taken place so far. As for all these 'surveys suggest something would happen,' we'll see how the game plays out. Yes, inflation has cooled down a bit since December, but it's still nothing...

By calling it 'treatment,' you're already implying that it's supposed to have a beneficial effect. However, it could be something else, like unnecessary torture, for example. Say there is a guy who eats a piece of cake every day. He knows it's bad and that he needs to do something about it. One...

I think of three reasons: Renewed talks about dollarization. A few people who had a cushion of dollars saved for a rainy day are now running out and The recent diplomatic spat with Spain has made people skeptical about the prospects of a speedy recovery.

This has nothing to do with being qualified or not. I could prescribe you a lobotomy, and I am not a doctor at all. Ah, the forecasts. They might think that an inflation rate of 300% is a bit too high and the only way is down. Well, Zimbabwe's experience tells us otherwise.

Protest voting, maybe? It would be interesting to see how many votes he would receive if there were a 'None of the Above' option on the ballot.
