I don´t think that there are even "cyber" something. There are people with different political opinions (like mine) and they own a PC and an Internet connection. Nobody is monitoring this website, there are lots of bigger fish to fry. You are OK, my friends.

As almost anything written in the Real World Economics Blog, worth reading and thought-provoking. It is one thing to be right-wing and believe in a supposed "free" market, and another to be blind to everyday facts. Greece will leave the Euro or will perish, ditto for Spain.

Yes, it is because of this. Basically, if you work legally and pay your taxes, you can buy the USD (approved by AFIP) and put them in your USD account. I would prefer that AFIP approves the amount based on my account in Pesos (after all, it is the same the convert them to USD-->whatever coin I...

Some tourists were murdered, yes. The important word here is "some". Each person is important, so if you ask if this is bad, it is. If you ask if there is a significantly statistical chance of being murdered as a tourist in Argentina, the answer is no. Now, somebody should call the police...

One on which for some weird reasons, including the oligopolistic structure of big parts of the economy, most of its own books, written by locals and for locals, were imported from Spain. The solution was to ban those imports, thus Argentinean companies now will need to print Argentinean books in...

Maybe some of the owners want to put their own people, maybe one of them has a company that administrates buildings, maybe is just a personal issue. We changed administrators this year (last one was a thief), but we would never change our 30-year-experience. The guy was one of the workers when...

I enjoyed my teenage years in Argentina a lot.. and still graduated (some 4 times!) thanks to the good public (free) education that I received in this country. Compared with other students in Tel Aviv University (the top school in that part of the world) I knew a lot more about almost...

Hey I am a Socialist (a free market socialist, btw) and I am not ignorant! So in one sentence I destroyed an argument (hehe). We are a young democracy, and most of us are enjoying it, thank you very much. I know that for those economists that still believe in the axioms of marginal theory and...

Go to a bargain-shop and buy plain t-shirts for 30 pesos. When one gets destroyed, you use the second one. My 15-peso white t-shirts were good for more than one year each.

Do not go to France then, you will have a seizure. The added holidays were created because the 2-week paid vacations in the law are really not enough to maintain your sanity in the workplace, and they also benefit many areas in the country that live on tourism. I expect that these holidays...

Future ex-pats: thousands of Europeans (especially Spain). Their numbers are growing every day in BA.

Nope, since they are a foreign colonial force implanted in the islands. CFK is not doing this for electoral reasons, she is doing it because the timing is right. With the European economic meltdown, it will be difficult for the UK to maintain its remaining colonies (the "Falklands" only?)...

It is anti-capitalist, not anti-business. Is not the same. Business and free market do not belong to capitalism, which is simply a distribution method of the profits of a company. Peronism is capitalist, and always was, but gives a little bit more to the worker. That "thug" as you called him...

1- We consume less. My phone is 3 years old. I could care less. 2- We live until later with our parents. Is not only money, I would not go to my own apartment at age 18. I was happy until I was 23 of living in my childhood home. 3- Rent outside Palermo is not so expensive. We also rent at...

A thousand thumbs up. And I really hope that Cristina does this. Anything else, the government will suffer a lot in 2013.

Blah Blah Blah. Most of us are part of "the people", and we will vote for those that are less malignant to us (that is democracy, the government of the "less bad"). Nowadays, that person is Cristina (and if that fascist Merc has something to say about it, I and the rest of the country don´t...

If Cristina does not eliminate TBA right now, her government is over.

That is why I find the accident to be weird. However, the State should have replaced all the old trains already, it was taking too much time. Now, this happened at 20 km/h, can you imagine at a normal suburban train speed?

The Sarmiento line is being revamped. There are 24 formations, more than half of those are new, or revamped cars with A/C (3-4 are the superb 2-floor new trains, some 10 or more are 1-floor with A/C, some of them the new "aerodinamic" line). The rails have been changed, everything was running...

Because it seems to be really safer. Look, you are a thief, what are you going to do? To Palermo were there are lots of walking I-Pods? Or to Boedo, were your victim maybe has a long knife to meet you?
