    Best U.S.-based bank for expats in Argentina

    Can you provide where they talk about this check-sending service on their website? It seems interesting, but cannot find info.

    Mass shooting in Peaceful New Zealand

    I am curious do you have actual data on that? It would be interesting to know. I personally cannot think of many deaths caused by right-wing terrorism. Whereas, some very high death-toll ones such as 911 are attributed to muslims. It would take 61 of these type of attacks to equal even one 911...

    Macri's hilarious speech

    Obviously 2001 was worse than now, but this "crisis" is just starting. We have yet to see how it fully evolves.

    How easy is it to be sued by a nanny here?

    What exactly does an argentine cleaner do in an apartment 4 hours a day? If it takes me 15 minutes a week to clean my apartment and I am not specialized at it, then why does someone who had theoretically developed specialization in it take 4+ hours? I say that because I rented an apartment...

    How easy is it to be sued by a nanny here?

    How long does it really take to clean your house? I spend maybe 15 minutes a week cleaning. Seems like the money and fear of being sued is not worth saving 15 minutes

    Stem Cell Treatment Cures AIDS

    Btw the work done by this company is pretty cool if it works: https://www.immunocore.com/ It has broad application beyond HIV. And if it works for HIV it would be a functional cure (virus under control naturally with no ill-effects).

    Stem Cell Treatment Cures AIDS

    I will also add that some treatments resulted from the 2008 patient discovery. Mainly, trying to replace white blood cells with gene therapy modified cells, etc. So far though, all have been failures.

    Stem Cell Treatment Cures AIDS

    No, hiv has been cured for 10 years. The first patient was 2008. And, really, the first functional cure using this method was in 1998. The only difference between the 1998 and 2008 patient is the former had a detectable hiv load, but it never grows and they don't need medicine and it has no...

    Residency Requirements for Citizenship

    Hello Bajo_cero2, 5 years ago I attempted to get citizenship after staying in argentina for 2+ years. The process was too complicated and I eventually left Argentina discontinuing my residency. Now that I am back in Argentina can I continue my case which was started (but not finished) several...

    Pixel 2, Google Fi , 2 phone numbers - 1 local, 1 US ??

    I have a friend with Google Fi. Making calls to someone in the US from Argentina costs $0.20 a minute. On the other hand VOIP is typically $5 to $10 and is completely free. Google Fi is minimum $20/mo + $0.2 a minute + $10/gig data used. Local argentina data is far less than $10/gig, so there...

    Did Trump save Venezuela?

    The ones that were tired of socialism all emigrated elsewhere. It is the ones who remain that are too dumb or apathetic to understand the need for change. That is one of the bad parts about open immigration is that it impoverishes more people than it helps. If Colombia, Brazil, Peru, Argentina...

    Did Trump save Venezuela?

    Socialism has been practiced in about every country for about 100+ years (don't have a closed mind and focus too much on labels). Tax on on corporate profits is a form of socialism and so is regulation. Socialism is any economic system where the businesses are collectively owned. The details of...

    Why not just buy a hand towel? It's the same thing just relabeled hand towel. Difference is it absorbs water.

    It's always an inside job

    Wow, glad you are safe. What neighborhood do you live in? It sounds like hell. If you do go to the police please update us with what actions the police take. My guess is none.

    New immigrants Policy?

    If it is a new policy, then I am surprised. Deporting illegals who commit crimes seen common sense. Hell, deporting immigrants who commit crimes is common sense. Generally a deportation is far cheaper than holding someone is jail.

    Do you fear a crash similar to 2001?

    Argentina is just a weak economy facing the effects of a global economic slowdown. Certainly, Argentina has huge issues. But, these issues were unmasked by the global environment. When the ocean tide withdraws it becomes apparent who is swimming naked. Argentina is just the first to be exposed...

    Bolsonaro takes office :/

    It is "selective-vigilance". I think that is the correct term to describe highly partisan people who suddenly show concern over every small action when someone not fitting their particular political views are in office. There was not a whisper about Lula and his ilk directly robbing the people...

    Is it normal for Argentinians to tease gringos about their Spanish accent?

    Argentine's tease foreigners as a form of flirting. Male or female if someone teases you it is their way of saying you are a hottie and you should invite them to your place for some wine.
