    Is Argentina Still a Good Deal?

    You also should keep in mind that Argentina is a pretty large country and it doesn't end in Palermo or Recoleta, there are plenty of places in Argentina worth checking out way cheaper than what expats are willing to pay. The further away you are from BA the less people you'll find speaking...

    Thread: Milei's DNUs as they happen

    Presidential murder attempt? absolutely!, does it compare to the copitos? as far as trying to murder a president, of course! the only difference i see, is that president Milei had done nothing to trigger any one to the point of wanting to kill him ''just because'', on the other hand former vice...

    If the economy gets real bad will people turn on expats ?

    Prejudice is real and very much alive in Argentina, i hope you never have to find out when the chips are down, all those so called argie friends will throw you under the bus. I was here during the Falklands conflict and i was the only one with a direct family member fighting the Brits , never...

    What does this election mean for immigrants?

    You mean to tell me that you think i made up the story about my brother having to wait while others crossed the border without permission? I'm not gonna go into much more detail about my personal life, but that's not a sexy story at all, only us know the anguish of the wait and the frustration...

    What does this election mean for immigrants?

    You are right i made that up, i'm just here to spread fear, except that one time we had to wait two and a half years to get my brothers immigration papers lined up while i watched hundreds of other migrants cross the border but i suppose they deserved it more than my only brother, in other...

    Economists warn electing Milei would spell devastation

    Very easy to answer that, how do you think we obtained our freedom and stopped being a colony? thru mediation and dialog? and i would like to add one more thing......( yet one more time)...you have a constitutional right to own a gun and a privilege to drive a car , maybe that's why you need a...

    Presidential debate Massa vs Millei 9PM. Last one before election.

    Any time you find in a por si o por no situation, ask yourself this question, fire, good or bad?, water, good or bad? violence, good or bad?, war, good or bad?, power, good or bad? the adult world is way much much complex than good or bad or por si o por no That gives me a pretty good idea how...

    Economists warn electing Milei would spell devastation

    Feelings or opinions have nothing to do with constitutional rights and the moment you need a government credential to carry or keep a weapon, it becomes a privilege that, same as driving licenses can be suspended or revoked. Most of the legislation about weapons for self defense here is dictated...

    Economists warn electing Milei would spell devastation

    Excuse me, have you seen or ever used public health and education yourself? i have, some of my family had and my balance tells me that you're better off seeing a witch doctor while you wait for your ''turno'', you see, sometimes creating the idea that someone will take care of you when in...

    Economists warn electing Milei would spell devastation

    It is y observation thru the years that Argentina is not and never was a country that wanted to obtain results thru rational channels and always looked for that ''short cut'' to obtain results that other nations took years to accomplish. One thing that none of the options we face offer , is...

    Just got beaten bashed and molested for being a Jew

    I'm sorry to hear and i hope you bounce back from this difficult time. I understand if you don't want to go into details , but i think it might help others with some context , like where and when it happened and maybe how it got started, sometimes wearing the wrong soccer jersey can get you in a...

    Blue @ 1,000: anyone lived through 84/89 or 2001 have any advice?

    As previously mentioned every time there's a crisis of this nature, just keep your benjamins , as far as pharmacy needs, i found out that most meds are cheaper here than anywhere in the US unless we are talking vitamins or some sort of special diet items . Not a bad idea to stock up on non...
