    How To Use Paypal To Get Money Out?

    I started this thread a long time ago; what we ended up using, without any problems, and I believe it still works is eLance I've had jobs done and my wife has used her CC to make those payments (just have to call beforehand to 'authorise' the CC) could also do it with a "private" job, getting...

    Another Fatal Train Accident - Many Injuries.

    this is a simple illustration of when you pull money out (either through cuts or corruption), people die. It's a real consequence. Running a safe railway network is a complicated and expensive process. I noticed on that LaNacion link that passenger numbers are plummeting on the Sarmiento line...

    La Campora To Look After Us All

    it's politically dumb what they are doing. The opportunities it opens up for abuse are many. One silly example - right wing groups smash a few supermarket windows in at night, perhaps lob in a few molotov cocktails for good measure, daub on the walls outside "La Campora was here, next time we...

    This government is about to lose big in the New York courts over their "debt policy". Deciding to not pay back 80% of the money you owe is not a good policy, it's called "becoming the world's biggest deadbeat".

    Crisynomics At Work: Argentina Is Low Debt Superstar

    I think it's also helped that some years ago, Argentina told its creditors from pre-2001 that it was unilaterally cancelling 80% of the debt.
