    Dating in Argentina vs Dating in US/UK....

    Are you one of these "woke" people I keep reading about on the internet?

    Vice Presidential Debate

    Not many women nor people of color voted for her in the primaries. Two white guys got most of the vote. Not everything is about skin color or what's dangling (or not dangling) between your legs. It's also entirely to possible to be pro-Harris and still think she did a poor job.

    Vice Presidential Debate

    Harris is terrible. Let's not forget her shining moment during the primaries was accusing Joe Biden of being a racist. No wonder her presidential candidacy never went anywhere. She allowed herself to be backed into a corner by Pence on multiple occasions (and Pence is certainly NO all-star)...

    Erotic act in chamber of deputies session

    Proper training? I taught my technologically challenged 80-year-old mother how to use zoom in 5 minutes. There's a big button with a camera icon that switches the camera on and off. It's not hard. Besides, I'm sure the government had some "Che Pibe" IT guy teach these morons how to use zoom...

    Maximum visa runs to Uruguay

    15 years in prison for spreading COVID across borders? Lol, a rapist/murderer is back walking the streets within a few years in Argentina. Let's not be silly now.

    Hard To Find/expensive Products From The States

    Covid will certainly force them to up their cleaning game. But from the management down to the customers... gyms are an utter disaster in BA. No one uses a towel. No one wipes down anything (because there is nothing to wipe it down with). No one puts the weights back after they're doing...

    Argentina's history of slavery: should there be reparations?

    I don't see Argentines voting to pay reparations - nor paying reparations if "demanded" to do so by another country. They don't pay their bills as is. Besides, the people owed reparations passed long ago. If they were alive - yes, they should be paid. But that's not the case. Paying out...

    Permanent Residency Interview (Marriage) in the US

    Honestly, I have no clue. If Argentina does recognize a US marriage, I assume you'd have to have every single document translated by a certified translator, apostilled by the government, stamped by 5 different bureaucrats, etc. My instinct is the whole residency process will be 10x easier if...

    Permanent Residency Interview (Marriage) in the US

    I don't really remember them asking any questions. Like, almost no questions at all. They didn't even ask me to show proof of financial solvency. Just legally remarry your wife in Argentina and there's a 99% chance you'll be granted residency unless you're a felon (and even then...) Edit: I...

    March against Communism

    This thread is strange. First, does anyone NOT understand why they explicitly chose the word "comunismo"... even if they aren't literally marching against the actual communist party? It doesn't take an expert in political strategy to figure it out. Second, I'm also not sure what an American...

    Wife really wants to go back to Argentina with kid

    Imagine all of a sudden Argentina has 25,000+ coronavirus cases over the next couple of weeks and a ton of people need to be hospitalized. Would the public healthcare system really be able to support that? Do they really have the staff, equipment, supplies necessary? Maybe. But Argentina has...

    Wife really wants to go back to Argentina with kid

    This sounds more like an emotional safety issue rather than a physical safety one. Assuming you just stay in your Airbnb, the odds of anyone in your family getting the coronavirus is pretty slim . You don't have to be an infectious disease specialist to know that you'll be exposed to more germs...

    Poll: Which will kill more Argentines: the COV-19 Virus or the Quarantine?

    Lol, a 39% mortality rate in the US? They would have declared martial law and the coronavirus would be compared to Ebola instead of the normal flu. I think it might be time to retake that high school statistics course.

    Visas to stay longer?

    It 2017, I got married in August and I had my DNI for permanent residency in hand by November. I also traveled for 2 weeks during the process. All I had to do was go to immigrations and tell them I was leaving the country so they could give me a new precaria. I didn't even use a lawyer. Maybe...

    Corona Virus May Hit Argentina Hard

    Should Italy accept and be grateful for the help? Sure. They definitely need it. But I'm skeptical countries like Cuba and Russia are sending aid to Italy purely out of compassion. Nothing is ever "free."

    Corona Virus May Hit Argentina Hard

    You're missing the point. Will Seattle be put on lockdown? Maybe. Maybe not. It's all just speculation at this point. But "a good friend in the USA" is still not a credible source.

    Corona Virus May Hit Argentina Hard

    Regardless of whether or not this actually happens, please cite a source better than "a very good friend in the USA." Spreading rumors does not help the situation.

    Corona Virus May Hit Argentina Hard

    Interesting data-driven analysis on the effects of previous epidemics on market returns (spoiler: massive short-term dips but zero long-term impact): https://ofdollarsanddata.com/how-will-coronavirus-affect-your-portfolio/ Will the coronavirus follow the same path? Who knows! But no matter...

    Customer service - lack of

    There are many positive things about Argentina... but doing business is not one of them. It's certainly not a "cake walk." You have all of the problems that any business faces, but with a few twists. Here's just a sample of what the PYMEs take on: 1) High barriers to entry. You can't just log...
