Tell the truth were you thinking of this movie scene when you wrote this?

I will be there too.

Yeah, I saw this and looked it up. Biden made the usual call, and Milei seems to have changed his mind about his first international visit being to Israel. Sounds like hes going to be visiting the IMF, WB, and various treasury officials. Hes bringing Caputo. Probably a wise first move, with...

I opened my wallet to go to the St. Regis thing, because I didnt know about the other options. I regret nothing. It was the chef from the US Embassy; very interesting gourmet interpretations of the classics. Some strange substitutions of blueberries where cranberries would have made more sense...

Don Julio has been warned; well-done steaks with ketchup will be the special of the day.

A friend once quipped that Argentinas economy is what would have happened if the South had won the US Civil War... which might help explain the Confederate flags at Milei rallies? Now we have to unravel their deep ties to New Hampshire... (just kidding, of course)

All I can say is I've never seen longer Wu línes than this morning. But I think it's just the long weekend.

I had to wait untill I was on a different phone to see this; not everyone has Twitter. Are you seriously asking why it takes less time to count physical papers in a box vs verifying signatures, unfolding, un-creasing, scanning, adjudicating ballot errors, on a ballot with multiple pages, printed...

Oh I'm all for law and order and crime and punishment and all that good stuff. But I'm not sure we want to have people shooting suspected criminals in the street, all willy nilly. Most of the people doing the beating in this case didn't see the actual crime, and were making an educated guess...

A couple days ago I was meeting a friend for lunch downtown and there was a crowd of people looking across the street at some cops who were surrounding a bleeding guy slumped by a building. I asked what's up, and a bystander told me a robbery. I ask, is that the victim or the robber? The robber...

Reading the chatter on social media, I'm going to predict some messiness tomorrow with ballots because it seems LLA is a bit disorganized in the provinces as far as having enough poll workers (?). It also sounds like they're not sending as many ballots to prep the rooms in the morning, with the...

So someone posted that on BAFoodies FB a while back, I just called they have reservations available on all the days! Are you interested? We could have a blind thanksgiving meetup. I want that turkey; it looks like a fancy fancy place! Send me message, anyone who wants to join. I'll make reserve...

This looks like a (luxurious) possibility for us. I sent them a whatsapp to see if they still have space... anybody interested? Looks like a fancy restaurant, $30 feast. Let me know! I can make a reservation. It's the 23rd, 24th and 25th....

I'll swing by this time for a bit!

I think the taxes would have to be in the negative zone before people moved their accounts out of the black, otherwise what's the incentive? I would think reducing taxes gradually while beefing up enforcement might coax the unruly herd back into the pen... And really, it's hard to imagine...

Hey shouldn't that be if massa wins and Milei cries fraud, the other guy keeps your cash? That's only fair if you're going to "both sides" the issue... 😆

Yeah my main reason for Massa would be that he doesn't seem like a loose cannon rolling around. Just a normal corrupt politician.There was an interesting podcast interviewing Milei neighbors in Abasto about the dogs, etc. ...

My Bullrich-supporting friends are mostly doing the same. I still think Massa will win, but itś going to be a tight race; and certainly we will be hearing allegations of fraude if Massa wins.

If the future President of Argentina makes the legal process of immigrating more difficult, that would qualify in my book; and that's what I was wondering about. If he gives rousing speeches describing how foreigners are “poisoning the blood of our country”, if he suggests shooting illegal...

Well, technically everyone who enters from Mexico illegally is a criminal, and he certainly wanted to put a stop to that. He was also not to keen on immigrants from Muslim countries. For instance: "When I’m elected I will suspend immigration from areas of the world where there’s a proven history...
