    Citizenship and migration DNU declared unconstitutional June 30th 2026

    Excellent news and not far behind the US Supreme Court's denial of Trumps attack on Jus Solis citizenship. I hope it serves to teach both of these egotists that the executive branch is not above the legislative process.

    Why off-duty cops in second jobs ‘kill and die more’ in recession-hit Argentina

    I have 3 retired cops that help me now and then with my properties. One of them hasn't fully been retired, though he's off-duty awaiting status change. Ever during this interim period he refuses to turn in his issued gun because he feels exposed without it. I suppose it's a source of comfort...

    Betting pool for Adorni's resignation

    We all won a front row seat to the next political scandal. Waiting for His Royal Highness Milei to acknowledge that pesky fly in his ear called the Supreme Court and toss a few devalued pesos to the universities. Get your popcorn ready...

    The awful state of our economy

    Fast fashion has gotten so bad that online shopping addicts now have fake apps where you can simulate buying the clothes except no actual clothes are being purchased. This apparently tricks the brain into releasing the dopamine associated with impulsive purchases while allowing addicts to...

    The awful state of our economy

    Fast fashion changed the landscape. Times are accelerating in just about every medium measurable, climate included. It's no surprise that quality has gone out the window for the cheap thrill of the latest trend.

    Has Argentina Become Worse Or Better for Foreign Retirees recently?

    You know what Taiwan doesn't seem to offer...a pathway to permanent residency for digital nomads or retirees. Otherwise, we're just talking about a 90 day vacation for retirees or 2 years for digital nomads with no option to renew.

    Seguros de Caución/Contract Change

    That's a really dirty move on behalf of the inmobilaria. The first thing I would do is contact the Seguro company and explain what happened. Find out if you have refund or transfer option. If not, you may have grounds to pursue damages against the Inmobilaria.

    Why off-duty cops in second jobs ‘kill and die more’ in recession-hit Argentina

    "If police officers were not allowed to carry their government-issued guns while they are off duty, the number of ‘trigger happy’ deaths would be significantly reduced,” she said." Oh no, think of these poor assailant's lives. It's not "trigger happy" when they rob you at gun point and shoot...

    Rental Home Insurance

    Only in Argentina will the owner require the tenant to pay for a fire policy and simultaneously provide no smoke detectors or fire extinguishers on site. I can't imagine how any insurer would honor a fire damage claim without such basic prevention measures in place, but here we are...

    Rental Home Insurance

    Insurance is by and large a game of actuarial statistics; i.e. how many are actually going to break vs how many pay in. The real math is how much in premiums have you paid over the years and what would it be able to replace today had you just saved the money (self-insured) yourself. Of course...

    Ecoparque entrance fee for nonresident visitors

    It seems only fair. The do the same for Neuquinos visiting San Martin. We receive a 15% discount if you reside within the province.

    Betting pool for Adorni's resignation

    I suppose you haven't seen this video of Adorni in 2017 saying he wasn't involved in the crypto scene.... odd for a guy who had already invested $200k into crypto and must have been a seasoned trader.

    Impuestos de bienes personales

    Howdy Michelle, Welcome to the forum. IMO, your correct source for this information is an accountant. The good news is that they are ubiquitous and affordable down here. It's my understanding the answer to your question depends on the registered value of the property and whether it exceeds the...

    Betting pool for Adorni's resignation

    Place your bet folks... Seriously, how is this clown still around? Does he have dirt on Milei? We are all really going to believe the second most powerful politician in Argentina bald faced lying that he stumbled on a pen drive full of bitcoins? It would have been more credible if he found a...

    I found real aged cheeses including cheddar and blue

    I'll let you know if five years, haha. From what I read Listeria grows mostly in soft cheeses. The dry acidity in hard cheeses is why it's difficult for listeria and botulism to grow. You are correct that one needs to buy a low moisture cheese apt for aging and that not all young cheeses are...

    I found real aged cheeses including cheddar and blue

    This was brought to my attention in an earlier thread as well. The location is misleading. The Couly brothers have a farm in Cipoletti, which is not open to the public, where they produce cheese. You can taste a sample of them as an appetizer at their fine dining restaurant "La Toscana". I have...

    I found real aged cheeses including cheddar and blue

    Fascinating....BA has a much greater cheese selection than Neuquen and I've always thought about bringing a few wheels down here. It never occurred to me that you can buy younger wheels to age at home in a wine cooler if you wanted to.

    Walk-In Clinic for Check on Blood Pressure?

    There are pubic hospitals that allow walk-ins but, given the wait times, I wouldn't recommend it. I mean, why not just a monitor down here if it doesn't fit in your luggage? They aren't that expensive:

    Americans, what do you bring back when you visit the USA?

    For starters: 1) Anything you have a pet peeve for that requires higher quality than normal here: (fancy sheets), (japanese knives), (unusual size clothes), etc. 2) Any small specialty piece of equipment (camera lenses, digital accessories, hard to find machine parts, special tools) 3) Any...
