    Is the Milei "Transformation" Failing Already?

    I had no expectations whatsoever, and have yet to see any effort to improve the economy. Yes, it was and still is a mess, but for any changes to happen you need to implement something. That something is missing, so why would economy improve in the distant future? Cutting everywhere has never...

    Is the Milei "Transformation" Failing Already?

    I guess it's pretty simple. Government prints allright, but it doesn't pass it to people. Instead, it's buying dolars from those people. So usd stagnate, there are still pesos going in, when mixed with outstanding Argentinian economy, you get high inflation despite lack of purchasing power. It's...

    Anybody else notice coffee recently not tasting good?

    In Italy not by much, I'm usually buying lavazza between 8 and 10 euros /kg.

    Is the Milei "Transformation" Failing Already?

    They have to decide, if there is money or not. As it looks like there is plenty of it, but not for the people and services that would benefit them. Using MAGA narrative is distasteful.

    Can I bring a 30" brand new monitor without the aduana?

    I guess this goes for newly purchased goods? Since basically every gadget you carry exceeds this amount. Monitors are not even on expensive side usually, they are just bulky and maybe a bit unusual.

    Milei’s Amputation Regime for Argentina

    That's a relief, to be honest. Wouldn't like to see dolarization happening with these guys. I guess even milei isn't so crazy, to get through with such a shit show.

    Can I bring a 30" brand new monitor without the aduana?

    If prices didn't drop significantly in last month, they are crazy out of the line for electronics. Double more is minimum in my opinion.

    Can I bring a 30" brand new monitor without the aduana?

    I often traveled with monitor and several laptops, and never had any problems. Nothing was in original packaging of course, but also they never checked if anything was new. Monitors were always middle range, nothing terribly expensive.

    How much more are you paying for your health (prepaga) insurance?

    I'm aware of that list. Data for Greenland are from 1970, Argentina 2017 and the rest all between. But hospital beds by itself don't show anything about quality of healthcare. Also it is not clear, which beds they are counting. Only public, or all? Beds are maybe plenty, but for healthcare...

    How much more are you paying for your health (prepaga) insurance?

    It is very insensitive to phrase it like this. Very usa stand, if I may say. Underpriced according to what? Salaries of medical workers? To the countries with gdp 3x and higher? At the same time barely anything goes to public healthcare. I have no data on the profits of private health insurance...

    Supermarket Arg vs Spain

    Not everything is cheaper, but nothing is much more expensive. But a lot of things are cheaper, or at least there are cheaper options, considered worse quality, but still surpassing Argentinian quality. When you put purchasing power in the mix, it's just crazy. Energy and water are still much...

    Wages in Argentina Suffer Record Drop

    Sorry, no. High position in agricultural business. His salary was higher than 3k usd for decades, now of course lower. Million however isn't really something. I'm operating with much more, living in provincia, and find it very expensive. Prices are so much out of reality, that seems money has no...

    Wages in Argentina Suffer Record Drop

    I know one person earning above 1.5 million, the rest are struggling way below. Now, those are with salaries. Those that aren't earning salaries are way above in my opinion. It is hard to get any real data, Argentines are very secretive regarding their earnings. So I usually hear complaints, not...

    Is the Milei "Transformation" Failing Already?

    We are getting somewhere here :) I hope Milei too will start to go with policies that he can implement, and are needed, without unnecessary historical divide.

    Is the Milei "Transformation" Failing Already?

    Average person isn't right or left, it's a mixture of both. Under extremes you get more extremes in both ways, and this never wasn't, and never will be good. Blind support for Milei, or Kirchner, is stupid. For any politician really. But this is what we are getting, bunch of crazies on both...

    What countries have dollarised?

    If only you would say former Eastern block, bacause that would be much closer to the point. If we would follow your logic, then we have more than 50 states in North America, that dolarised, as well. A lot was said already about dolarization and its pros and cons, but listing the countries that...

    What countries have dollarised?

    Only 3 are of any importance, and none of them has any similarity to Argentina. Practically every country on the planet had terrible inflation at some point in the past, and taking other's currency wasn't high on the list of solutions. Cannot imagine serious first world country without their own...

    Is the Milei "Transformation" Failing Already?

    OK, this one looks like serious business, although I'm not sure it has anything to do with Milei. Oil and gas are businesses everywhere, even in active war zones... Regarding your company that didn't like Argentinian business environment, not every company is for every market. If you want...
