I left for my winter break at the end of May. I’m anxious about the prices and dólar when I’m back on 21st August. It’s only a matter of time until the dollar kicks off again.

I don’t understand it 😅 but it doesn’t sound good. The blue went to 1350 and came back down to 1280. “Flotación asistida”

Massive intervention yesterday to stop the dollar going up. Blue touched 1350. Now, back down. The dollar is floating of course, the market setting the price, not the BCRA 🙄

Don’t risk it, most bags go through the scanner on arrival. Medicinal cannabis is legal here only with a license, if you don’t have that, don’t bother.

Hello! What’s the deal with the obra social and monotributo? I had one back in 2020 and remember I just chose a random one and paid a fractional amount. Is there anyway to avoid it? I don’t need one as I have one through my other half. Not looking for a debate - just insight if I can opt out.

Exactly. Who’s not going to complain about living costs more than doubling? Food is some of the most expensive on the planet even though most of what you eat is produced in the country. Rent and other services still reasonable compared to other places, but for how much more? The uncertainty...

Margin is perfectly fine if a business can differentiate itself, find a niche and innovate. Apple has done exactly that, they pratically invented the original smart phone. Their margin have come down since they originally launched the iphone due to competition. Most businesses in Argentina are...

Argentina will never ever change until people realise that, in a capitalist society where businesses have to compete, you earn money with VOLUME and not MARGIN. Here, the culture is to set the price high and they then scratch they’re head when they don’t sell. Until that “chip” changes, the...

Their fares are usually quite good too. I spent many years working as a travel agent in the UK, and China Eastern would always they’d always be the cheapest from the UK to Australia,

I can get for 1275 on Binance, an improvement but still overvalued.

I love that they blame it all on the Aguinaldo. Absolutely nothing to do with JP Morgan and Barclays pulling out, the YPF debacle, the government not complying with the IMF conditions, heavily intervening in the futures market and general lack of confidence. Can't be any of those, must be the...

Yeah the LLA trolls just show you how bad things actually are and how desperate they are to change the narrative

I believe in Santa Claus more than I do the dollar at 1200 pesos

“Argentina no es un país caro, es un país valioso” Hope the link works https://www-ambito-com.translate.goog/economia/crisis-del-turismo-el-gobierno-analiza-un-iva-diferencial-aliviar-al-sector-n6163567/amp?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp

I just had to share this article from 2017. So many parallels, it’s unreal. Just swap the name Macri for Milei and this could’ve been written yesterday. Back then, it was “different this time” too. I remember it was expensive in those days. It started coming undone in December that year...

Whoever fixes the dollar blue value, not market forces but powerful figures. has been buttered up and is in cahoots with the government, hence it not all over the place.

Thanks. Luckily, I’ve been a permanent resident since 2020, so no issues there. Unless they question why I haven’t had a monotributo since then

Has this been the case in the past? I am in negro but plan to finally get a monotributo

Its because the law makes it’s hard to remove people if they don’t pay, and practically impossible if they have kids. So renting out your place without a guarantee is risky for owners. Airbnb, I feel, is actually one of the cheapest ways of renting if you consider the commission of a temporary...

And one of the other things I hate about the government is the hypocrisy. Milei also said, in his typically aggressive way, that getting in debt was immoral, that going to the IMF was awful and what countries do when they are on the brink of collapse. 18 months later here we are with a big IMF...
