I am aware that the 16% (pension) and 8% (health) are paid by employer in addition to pay, and that is for all legal wage earners.That is in addition not withheld from salaries. Hence real cost of employment is 16% pension, 8% health), 8.5% (13th month split between june and december or...

Below is a link to an Infobae article from today where the head of Banco Macro brings up the credit market as an issue, and how banks haven't been allowed to offer loans in dollars (or maybe using it as collateral) for the last 20 years. This would allow lower interest loans. He suggests the...

1) You say that 1/3 of revenues are from workers withholdings and then say only a small number comply. From a quick google about 800k-1M pay income tax. or about 10% of the formal workforce (are the high earners). The fact is in the US only 50% pay federal tax because their income is too low as...

Enjoy the day off guys

a few points: 1) Argentina taxes everyone and there is the asset tax. To the point that many Argentianians have left, or changed their residency to Uruguay. So trying to further tax a smaller group of people will work against its objective. This has been studied in many other countries. There...

I don't typically shop at the Carrefour in my city (there is only 1 location), but they do now have self checkouts. I think they are pretty much the same as Libertad and Vea (the other 2 chains where I am). The Express stores in BA seem to run pretty smoothly when I am there though. I just...

I want to try fermented pickles. I was trying to see what I can get local or shipped from amazon. I am guessing you probably have to burp the bottle you have manually, or just leave it without the clamp on for the first few days. The alternative to mason jars though I think is just to get a...

I think my seeds are old. I'll order all new stuff. Just curious, Does it keep regrowing or is more seasonal?

Might go that route also. I have seeds for super hot peppers as well. Might just have to watch a few videos how to start them

Here is an article from yesterday that Carrefour is not going ahead with the sale of the Argentinian subsidiary anymore, but is instead looking to grow in Argentina. A bit of good news. Carrefour canceled the sale of the chain in Argentina and announced a new plan for the country

I really want to make a good dill pickle. I can't buy them here, There was a German pickle available but not anymore, and the others are just vinegar/refrigerator style which are too different. Are the ones you make the ones typically on sandwiches/burgers? Do you mind sharing your recipe. Its...

I am not in BA so I'll check in the market and some of the "finer" verdulerias in town again and see if they can get some in a future shipment, or I will get it next time I am in BA. I have never fermented pickles before but that is the plan. I want to try and make something like Strubs Sour...

Curious about the pickles, are they more normal size pickles or just the long cucumbers? do you cut them down? I'm struggling to find 4-5" cucumbers.

I want to try and make some pickles but I can't find fresh Dill here. Just dried dill seed. I was wondering if anyone has seen any in the country. If so, could you please give me a general idea. Thanks!

This assumes both jeans are equal. In reality they are not of equal quality or price. So if one can buy $10(15,000 pesos) jeans from China, instead of $100 (150,000 pesos) jeans from Argentina, the buyer, La Chiqui, now has the remaining $90 ($140,000 pesos) of disposable income that can now be...

At a Tuesday meetup, this website was mentioned. I think it typically allows rentals up to 3 months, but you might be able to talk to the landlord for longer lease. https://www.4rentargentina.com

10) In all fairness, it looks like since in H1-2022 it ranged from 3 to 7.5% monthly. So from mid 2020 the curve indicates a trend up. Did the government do anything to alter course or not? I understand this is also during the pandemic but from my understanding he didn't do a great job handling...

1) This administration is not doing those things. They are meeting foreign debt obligations, they are running a fiscal surplus, they have removed some capital and FX controls and have relaxed a band system which has been supported by the IMF and US. The currency has and is mainly been trading...

Shortened your quote due to character limits. 1) How is it a drop in the bucket and stop gap? Construction phase of projects are typically when you have highest direct and indirect employment. Once in operations numbers tend to decrease. 2) Why does it matter when first production occurs...
