    Absolutely. Agree with every point. But it is a global issue, not just American or Argentinain. Canadians that don't own homes now are essentially being told the only way they will move out will be with roommates. I am not defending that system. That system is made up of politicians acting...

    Also, remember the months of riots and massive damage caused during the protests in France when they had to increase age of retirement in 2023 from 62 to 64? Their debt is 110% of GDP, their deficit is around 5% which is higher than the 3% limit by the EU. They are straining to keep it together...

    I have absolutely addressed your point and questinoed it and your highlighted your favourite author's point. Claiming I have not is bad faith. 1) Universities are still free for permanent residents and students. 2) Universities are still open and functioning and educating students, so I don't...

    I said that it was a good example of the market filling the void. I am not a hard core right winger or free marketer across all industries, health care, especially, and I definitely support public education.

    I think its pretty easy for them to get a temporary residency at first, and then after 2 years they can apply for permanent residency. It is just another stream for temporary residents. I think the free university is limited to permanent residents and citizens. Universities have two typically...

    I am traumatized every time I go to the supermarket

    From my experience it seems like certain its a bit of give and take in terms of costs for food inputs. Argentina is typically cheaper for meats. Fruits and veggies I find are cheaper or similarly priced as in other latin countries. Foreign brands are typically higher, again, same as in other...

    They receive some of their funding from the federal government, they also receive funding from the Ingresos Brutos, royalties and other streams. They are running a fiscal surplus, so I really don't know what you are trying to imply about Karina, Milei or Adorni. They have been operating a...

    1) He was elected on a campaign of not deficit spending but balancing the budget. So implementing deficit spending would have gone against what people who voted for him wanted. 2) So just printing would have increased inflation which was in hyperinflation territory at the time. Which is what his...

    Did I say education isn't necessary? Are you trying to put words in my mouth? Supporting education is very different than supporting research and innovation. Yes I do support it. It would be hypocritical of me if I didn't support it. Some countries spend much less on this than others. Canada...

    Has Argentina Become Worse Or Better for Foreign Retirees recently?

    You misunderstood my statement. I will clarify. Governments are not households or businesses. They do not need to make a profit. They also have a typical benefit of inflation reducing the value of their debt. However, where they are similar is that even government lending needs to be done...

    Has Argentina Become Worse Or Better for Foreign Retirees recently?

    Sorry, three part response, I thought this was under 10k or at most 2 parts. Agree that lower tariffs would boost exports. Australia is not a country of a population half the size of Argentina and an Island. Argentina is part of Mercosur. Comparing manufacturing requires consideration of...

    So you're making fun of, insulting, mocking people or whatever you want to call it, that are going to a place to try and improve themselves. The gym community is a pretty good and accepting group of people. Even the biggest buffest dudes are almost always willing to help you out, show you...

    I'll try and help explain it. She says "not inherently dangerous". This is what everyone says, literally Warren Buffet has repeated this many times.. Acceptable sized deficits are acceptable. Debt as a responsible amount is ok. Typically, the increase in debt at a rate less than the rise in...
