From the article: Does this resonate with anyone's experiences in BA / CABA on this board?

As someone said once on this forum: "There are three certainties in life, death, taxes and Argentina defaulting on its dollar denominated debt"

Looking through the last 2 years of articles that Uki Goñi has written for The Guardian, this fear for his country seems to be relatively new sentiment. Not a peep about the mismanagement of previous Peronist administrations that have led to crippling inflation and for poverty to rise above...

Hi Wrangler thank you for your reply. No one can know for sure what actions any politician will take. Where does that leave you, abstaining I suppose. You illustrate my point. You come to a conclusion without evidence. Please reply quoting the parts of my post where I state my gender or...

Hi Wrangler, I appreciate your reply. It distresses me that people project their feelings about things onto candidates without research or empirical evidence. Democracy and living in a democracy gives people responsibilities as well as rights. I have come to think that it is a basic...

What are Milei's policies regards homosexuals and abortion, does he intend to repeal / change laws relating to these issues? Is there a link somewhere that points to his platform / manifesto relating to these issues?

This. The lack of self awareness is off the scale; this is straight out of an Onion or a Babylon Bee article. It is almost an endorsement of Milei In other news Thomas Piketty and Jayati Ghosh warn electing a non socialist government could cause food shortages, mass emigration and economic...

I don't want to mis-characterise your post, are suggesting that Argentina is in a similar situation to that of Germany in the 1930s? Would that mean that Milei is in someway analagous to Hitler?

Fair point! I'm genuinely curious, which parts exactly is he lying about?

I've used for Argentine Pesos (ARS) https://satoshitango.com and they've been pretty good although I think Ripio has better spreads but doesn't accept foreign accounts. I think satoshitango have monthly limits and require some documentation you might want to check that before you actually...

This! Seems like the children are in charge of the sweet shop. Argentina's not the only case (its getting pretty bad here in the UK) but is a pretty egregious example.

Crikey they're not exactly encouraging people to set up businesses and employee people officially are they.

Is that retroactive? Or from December 2019 onwards?

Hi, I've got an employee that's been working for me "en negro" remotely in BA. I'm now thinking about making him redundant. What would be a typical redundancy agreement. I'm based in the UK. Is there a typical rule of thumb e.g. 1 months salary for each year of employment or something...

Anyone else noticed the increase in the number of Venezuelans in BA? Is it a humanitarian crisis or just an increase in immigration? Seems like they're everywhere you look! https://www.lanacion.com.ar/2124981-venezolanos-tras-el-sueno-argentino...

Well they take your thumb print at the airport along with scanning your passport. So I guess once they have your passport number they can match you, your phone, your thumb print and so on. (sarcasm) I guess if you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear(/sarcasm)

Does anyone know where one can rent a piano practice room in Capital? Preferably near Palermo, Retiro, Recoleta?

I've just come back to Argentina after an absence of about a year. I bought a prepaid mobile phone card and in order to use it I have to register and put in my dni // passport number! Am I alone in thinking this is a bit creepy, I travel a little bit and don't remember being asked in any...
