The impuesto PAÍS was scrapped and have imported goods come down in price? Hardly. After all these reforms, I have lost the little hope I had left. The basic rules of capitalism, eg competition and supply and demand, just don’t seem to work here.

And then this from Infoebae.com today: https://www.infobae.com/economia/2025/02/04/la-carne-aumento-15-en-la-ultima-semana-y-se-espera-otro-ajuste-para-los-proximos-dias/ 15% meat increase last week and another adjustment in the next few days; even though consumption is down. Like WTF?!?

These days paying the monotributo is cheaper than paying the cueva’s commission

Don’t get me started on the battery life! It had excellent battery duration until an update about 6 months ago. Before I could go almost two days without charging, now I have to carry my charger around everywhere.

The port on my IPhone 14 doesn’t work, bought just 18 months ago. They do it to make you buy the mag safe chargers and EarPods. My phone charges perfects with the MagSafe magnetic charger

Thanks! I checked with an Arg Accountant who specialises in crypto and digital economy and they said yes, you can receive USDT as “pago en especie” @Crypto_contador on IG if anyone is interested

Hello. With recent relaxing of rules, does anyone know if it’s possible for a client to pay me in USDT to an Arg-based and regulated crypto wallet (mainly Lemon) and then declare that as monotributo as part of exportación de servicios...

Totally!

Good news. Especially if they do end up selling Aerolineas Argentinas to Avianca (as was the news a few months ago) and they end up with a monopoly between Buenos Aires and Colombia.

Well this pretty much shows that the current government is “los mismos de siempre” doing “lo mismo de siempre”. https://www-iprofesional-com.translate.goog/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp&_x_tr_hist=true I hope that link works for the translation, if not here is the...

And most amazing of all, the dollar doesn’t go up (sometimes it actually goes down) and yet the prices in pesos still go up. There is no hope. The culture of inflation here is so engrained, businesses, property owners etc will always put prices up.

Decathlon are big in Colombia, we were there for 3 months and stocked up on everything from trainers to boxing gloves. It was cheap there too. My worry here is the prices. The crazy import taxes could make it ridiculously expensive. Let’s hope the Milei administration keep to their word and...

It’s amazing people sing Milei’s praises when really he is following the same failed recipes, and is doing the complete opposite of his sworn ideology. Controlling the exchange is not libertarian, it’s state intervention - everything that he hates. Let’s just see how long until it all blows up...

Prices are utterly ridiculous right now, but I don’t think a peso collapse will happen this year as there are elections. Milei has negotiated an IMF loan to keep paying for the artificial exchange rate. I did have faith in Milei as I do believe in the free market, but he is using the same...

Yep. The peso hit $1500 in July, so it should be at least $1700 now. It’s nothing more than Milei’s own “plan platita”. Instead of giving the population money by printing it like Massa did, he’s spending it all on keeping the exchange rate down so people can travel abroad and say they earn the...

If you have access to Mercado Libre, the new “compra internacional” feature has some good prices for computers that may even be cheaper than buying in Uruguay.

I use DolarPalermo (look them up on Instagram) for USDT to USD cash. They charged me 1.8% last time, but there have been months where the charge is as low as 0.5%. (Recently the fee has been high due to the cash part of the blanqueo). They also charge $5k delivery. But the service is...

On your last point, I’m always amazed at the discounts you get in Coto and other supermarkets with the bank promos, every weekend 20-25% that applies even to existing offers like 3x2s etc. The margin they have must be huge to be able to offer those discounts. And yes it feels like everything is...

I totally think the same re the dollarisation. This year, all those rents that were dollarised rents in 2023 have not increased much, if at all, this year. Massively agree, I see so many people from Europe and the US, like Elon Musk for example, commenting what a great job Milei is doing and...

I spent 3 months in Colombia during winter, got back mid September. Since then, I worked out my living costs have increased 30%. That’s combing the inflation in pesos (now much calmer to be fair), the dollar going down, and the dollar strengthening against the Euro and Pound (which I earn in)...
