For sure there's a lot to be gained for Argentina! Today talking heads are saying Trump, Elon, and Vivek will 'take a chainsaw' to the Federal budget, Milei-style (no mention of Congress' role). And here's a photo-op with Trump, Elon and Javier: a graphic element for the news page about the...

He's been meeting with Musk for a year. Everyone is still waiting for something to trickle down...

MilHojas, every time I see your profile pic I get hungry. Where can I find that dessert in the photo?

Some people on Reddit seem convinced that Milei will broker a free-trade relationship with the USA; as in, no tariffs, zero, zilch, on either side. That seems a bit whimsical with a President-elect Trump who ran on tariffs to offset domestic tax cuts, but we shall see. Milei has certainly been...

Is this how miles gets rid of public health? Not by announcing it, but by making it financially impossible? He's probably doing the same with universities. I remember asking a conservative Argentine years ago if candidates ever run on adapting an "American" privatized system and he said they'd...

I have no idea, like so many things in BA I heard about events after the fact, never before. Maybe you have to get on a list or make a donation or something? I was vaguely aware of when he was doing that singing thing downtown, but I figured it would be a mob. I love a spectacle even if I didn't...

I'm not sure about the exact date, but there's really not much to see (unless you're an Argentine and can vote?). They close down most of the bars the night before, or just serve soft drinks (no drinking and voting!), and voting is on a Sunday, so people are out and about as usual; they quietly...

I'll be there around 5!

It was equally random for me. First time a man said they'd mail it, then when it didn't come a woman just handed it to me. For my second address, the police looked at the delivery slip for a couch and my ID, and gave it to me with a smile. I get the impression this is not a process they deal...

https://www.lanacion.com.ar/sociedad/la-uta-anuncio-un-paro-de-colectivos-para-el-jueves-31-de-octubre-en-el-amba-nid28102024/ Guess I'll stay local.

I got mine same day. They just hand it to you.

This is what I did in March of this year. Then again in September when I had a new address. In the first case I brought my lease to the local police station, they said they'd mail it to me to prove my address. Never came. I went back and they issued the domicilio on the spot, without checking...

The thing I'm curious about is the height of the railing on the balcony. Is there a building code down here? Is it followed? Two girls couldn't push him off if the railing was sufficiently high... Every time I'm squeezing past someone in the balcony of teatro Colón I'm reminded I'm a lot taller...

I'll try to come!

For furniture if you're not choosy the ejercito de salvación in Pompeya has dressers, tables etc. it's good for buying in bulk if you have to furnish a whole place fast. Marketplace is great but it has you running all over the city and meeting flakey people who may or may not be there when you...

I'm an illustrator, not an economist, so forgive me for my visual thinking. Someone posted a picture of the post-pandemic 'inflation bump', and it's not so different proportionally from Europe and the USA; it just occurred later (and at a different scale, because, Argentina). The inflation was...

Those guys who broke in on 'Copa Mundial' day and waved flags from the top were on to something!

Somehow it worked for me with passport number. Which you need memorized when the package arrives.

Hunh I forgot about this thread... I went to buy a used electric kettle from a guy in Caballito this weekend, and I had a devil of a time communicating with him because he had 'lost his phone', so he could only respond when he was at his computer. He said to bring cash. I said, okay let's meet...

Just for future reference, it seems indrive doesn't include guys to carry the stuff up a flight of stairs... Bit I'll download it for smaller things. The guys I hired were cursing up a storm, but they got the thing up the stairs.
