    Is the Milei "Transformation" Failing Already?

    They all have confidence that the 24 F16 fighter jets he is buying this week from Denmark will bring a lifetime of parts, maintenance, and military training purchased from USA. The Denmark cost is 650 million U$D according to this article, though I have read 300-ish million in the past. Too bad...

    Looking for corn syrup (Karo)

    Jarabe translates as sryup. Cold medicine to maple syrup. I often see the same brand of real maple syrup from Canada 🇨🇦 in several places. None from Vermont 😞 https://newgarden.com.ar/estilos-de-vida/gourmet/mieles-y-syrup.html

    Crabs, kelp and mussels: Argentina’s waters teem with life

    Crabs, kelp and mussels: Argentina’s waters teem with life

    I am fairly certain this comment is satire and/or some inside joke. Still, to be clear salmón blanco (Pseudopercis semifasciata) which you see named that way in the local Argentine market is really an Argentine Sandperch, and not related in any way to any of the Atlantic or Pacific Salmon...

    Crabs, kelp and mussels: Argentina’s waters teem with life

    My understanding from reading the article is, no it does not. Though reading it does explain that intensive over farming has had enough of an environmental impact in Chile to disrupt other marine life industries.

    Wages in Argentina Suffer Record Drop

    I guess Bloomberg decided to report this article because the current Argentina government recently published the report. Bloomberg summarized the report for their readers who live in other parts of the world. It is only a few paragraphs of a news report.
