Hello! I am not a lawyer and I'm not even an American but I'm acquainted with Argentines who provide services to US companies perfectly legally but not as employees of the US firm but as overseas contractors. i suspect that if your relative looks at the small print, it's not a job offer but an...

Since the Argentine Peso is the official currency of Argentina and the bank is the official bank, wouldn't you in fact be using pesos to buy or sell foreign currency and wouldn't the terms be those for a normal foreign exchange transaction?

Possibly for similar reasons why in England a teacake can be a biscuit topped with marshmallow and chocolate, a toasted and usually buttered currant bun and in certain parts of Lancashire and Yorkshire, a big, round bap often served as a filled sandwich. Those crazy English, eh?

There's a thread, started in '22 continued in '23 entitled Tipping the Building Porter. Maybe uprate the ideas from there?

Looking at this positively, at least when that kid shoots you while stealing your motor it's more likely that it will be with a legally held gun.

In Australia, dual citizenship disqualifies one from political office: what's the situation in Argentina?

Spoiler Alert! The world is NOT going to end. WE are going to end. And the world will get on just fine without us.

Gosh! It would have been a very different Buenos Aires in those days! Neither the Kavanagh building nor Ave 9 Julio nor many other landmarks of today would have been completed by 1935 and life would have been very different. Ironically, the best place for your research is probably University...
