    It Happened To Me. Visa Entry Problem.

    Goes to show how much Argentina has improved. Now Rudolfo Walsh is let into the country. Back in the day they used to just gun him down in San Cristobál.

    Democrats Abroad In Argentina For Bernie Sanders

    "Remember Dennis Kucinich" is an excellent point. The Democratic Party is extremely efficient and ruthless at squashing any insurgencies from its left. But when it comes to fighting the Republicans on its right they're suddenly the party of "We've Fallen and We Can't Get Up". (We wanted to close...

    Us Bank To Local Arg Bank Transfers

    I just did a bank-to-bank transfer from Europe. After deducting all transfer fees (from both our bank in Europe and our bank here) the effective rate we got today was 1 EUR = 13.80 ARS. :o

    Democrats Abroad In Argentina For Bernie Sanders

    Yes Sanders would be a much better match vs anyone on the repub side, but it is hard to see the following not happening: Sanders' supporters ignore his calls to start a grassroots movement and just focus on the election. The big money and the DNC line up behind Clinton and stab Sanders in the...

    Welcome To The Dictatorship Of Happiness

    In the presidential debate, Macri used the exact same words as you Matías: Then again, he also talked about respect for institutions, balance of power and diversity of voices, and those got tossed out the casa rosada window PDQ.

    Welcome To The Dictatorship Of Happiness

    Even if we include the surrounding grounds as you say, the CCK is still 5 times larger than the LBJ library. You said the LBJ was larger, and hurled ad-hominems to boot.

    Buenos Aires To Salta By Car?

    Could be Purmamarca or Humahuaca? Either way, I agree. Jujuy city itself is pretty boring, but the trip up north is gorgeous. Purmamarca=7 colours hill, and Humahuaca=quebrada. Both have excellent hiking, stunning scenery.

    Brazil Heads For Worst Recession Since 1901 Optimism Arg

    This is exactly the problem. The "let's just sell stuff to China and Brazil" argument is no longer valid as it was over the last decade. China has turned off the commodities vacuum cleaner. Brazil (due to its size and compounding internal issues) took the first hit, and is already deep in...

    What Is Most Impressive Restaurant In Ba For New Year's Day?

    Objection your honour, speculation. Council's arguments are mere supposition and have no concrete facts to back them up. The idea that something is "fishy" is not sufficient proof. The comments regarding whether Don Alberto or Bajo are paid trolls should therefore be stricken from the record.

    Books Ban Lifted

    Less spending=less jobs, lower wages. The entire region is forecasted by the World Bank and IMF to see major recessions this year, but you are hoping to decrease activity even further.

    Brazil Heads For Worst Recession Since 1901 Optimism Arg

    I would love to hear how having its largest trade partner go into prolonged recession is "optimistic" for Argentina. Edit: no mention of Argentina in the Bloomberg article. The quotes in the OP do not seem to exist anywhere on the internets. Memo to self: re-engage ignore function.

    Just a note: Bajo did not say import restrictions on books were good; he said something worse is coming.

    What Is Most Impressive Restaurant In Ba For New Year's Day?

    Bajo: Could you please post any evidence you have that Don Alberto is a paid troll? I have seen here that you are accused of being a paid K troll and I have always said that those accusations are utterly ridiculous (on the contrary, I enjoy the fact that you are here and that you post an...
