Hi All, While I recently signed a 3 year lease, I'm increasingly looking at a future post Argentina as an Argentine citizen. Simply put, EVERYTHING is so expensive following the Mileiazo, and while I like Argentina (so much that I naturalized) I simply can't see a future here given how unstable...

Hi Everyone! I'm moving to a new apartment and have several items available for sale such as furniture, electronics, small appliances, that don't suit the new apartment, or that I'm looking to sell to help cover the cost of moving/paying some bills. If any of these items are of interest to...

The latest assault on Argentines' health, err, I mean "the caste" is brought to us by Javier Milei and Gabriel Oriolo, the former OSDE executive and millionaire that now runs the Superintendency of Health Services...

Article in Spanish, but it looks like government is expecting there to be brown and blackouts again this summer. Despite Milei thinking climate change is a communist hoax, I guess it's good that they're letting people know in advance that things are expected to be bad in January and February...

You know it's bad when Diarco is offering a "Dolar Diarco" to get people to come shopping: https://www.diarco.com.ar/dolardiarco/. it's a pretty good deal all things considered though given you can make puré by buying MEP dollars. I'm going to the US soon and will be filling my suitcase with...

Weird, just like many of us said, the Milei grift about dollarization was exactly that, humo to get elected https://www.infobae.com/economia/2024/07/01/caputo-le-aseguro-a-los-banqueros-que-el-peso-no-desaparecera-y-que-sera-una-moneda-fuerte/

Coming as a surprise to none of us that can count, Milei confirmed today that Argentina will not be dollarizing in 2024. Paired with the adjustment, continued high inflation, and a massive decline in purchasing power, he may be setting himself up for failure during the midterms next year as it...

I thought I would take the liberty of creating a thread to discuss the DNUs as they happen so we have a central place to talk about them, and the impact they will have on the community and country. 1st DNU: Reduction of Ministries Restructuring Milei's first DNU as president was to reduce the...

As the title says, this morning the Blue hit 1,000 buy 1,020 sell, and the government unified the dólar tarjeta/ahorro/Qatar. My assumption was the hyper wasn't coming until the 23rd when it was clear Milei won and the peso was going to die a death of a thousand cuts, but given Milei's advice...

Hold on to your wallets folks, we've finally returned to double digit inflation, and September is expected to be similarly bad. https://www.lanacion.com.ar/economia/dos-digitos-tras-la-devaluacion-la-inflacion-se-disparo-a-124-en-agosto-y-fue-la-mas-alta-en-mas-de-nid13092023/

The "Dólar Solidario/Dólar Dólar Ahorro", infamously difficult to achieve authorization to purchase, has essentially disappeared from existence as it's value will be unified with the "Dólar Tarjeta" come tomorrow. What does it mean for people in the real world? Those who were previously lucky...

Looks like Lula has decided to re-implement the reciprocity (retaliation fee as it used to get nicknamed here) for Visitors to Brazil starting in October Visitors from the following countries will be required to pay the following fee, assuming the structure is the same as pre-2019: USA - $160...

As the title says, a friend visiting from abroad had their phone stolen during dinner last night. As is the usual scam, chorro comes and tries to sell socks and shit, puts the the bag on top of the phone the tourist has careless left on the table, you tell them to get lost, and they make off...

Article for those interested Is anyone surprised? He was going to lose his own party's primary, and his approval ratings make most world leaders look loved in contrast. Arguably one of the most incompetent and ineffective leaders the country has had, but I will give him credit for at least...

As usual, I read the news throughout the day when I stumbled across the following article in La Nación: They want to deport three Russian women who arrived pregnant at Ezeiza for being "false tourists" It piqued my interest as I had arrived at Ezeiza earlier this week myself, having returning...

Hi Everyone, Just an FYI, it will be published in the Boletín Oficial tonight that tomorrow, Tuesday, December 20th, 2022 will be a national holiday. National Holidays apply to both the Public and Private sector, and as such expect many businesses to be closed or have reduced/limited hours (as...

Hi Everyone, I just thought I'd share some examples of how distortions in Argentina's macroeconomy can paradoxically result in great deals for consumers. Previously I've shared some anecdotes about inflation, cuotas sin intres, and goods re-assembled in TDF making tech cheaper here at times...
