I think that you get to make your own mind up about supplements, in my experience most doctors consider them to be snake oil, and will happily confirm that if you take supplements you will be in the competition to have the most expensive pee south of Washougal. I'd say if you find what you...

Only with a DNI, possibly not the OP's situation. I generally buy basic supplements in Farmacity, no problem getting magnesium carbonate, or citrate, zinc, vitamin D2 or D3, vitamin C, or any of that stuff. There are local manufacturers of those products (Bago, Vitamin Way, and Wellness come to...

Your whataboutism, manufactured outrage, delirious surmisings, and your halfwitted imagining that skin colour has anything to do with my opinions are absolutely hilarious 🤡

Nice bit of whataboutism from you. I'm not familiar with China, never been there, I have some opinions on certain topics, but it's not my problem, really. And even so, I haven't seen any accusations of Xi throwing his opponents out of aeroplanes. I am, however, a bit more informed about, and...

I'm amused to see how you wish to compare an actual investor and major trade partner of Argentina with a couple of US bloviators who have never done anything for this country. Yes, Xi isn't the nicest person around; in realpolitik and in service of your country, sometimes it's necessary to hold...

OSDE is on the list as well, let's see what happens. At the top of the list is Swiss Medical, with its CEO who I've seen referred to as "Doctor Death" :oops: Oh dear. But at least the government has a plan, right? 🤔

Telecom Personal, with 21k employees according to its website, also has no return-to-office policy, several of their various buildings around CABA are for sale (including, I believe, the one in Puerto Madero).

I do not see how we can deal with three and a half more years of this. Yes, I know I'm expressing a feeling...

I don't know either, but maybe you could ask the people at Carnes Santa Ana on Munroe in Villa Urquiza. John is Irish, he will at least know what you're talking about.

You won't find much similar to CDMX here, unless you want to compare Puerto Madero to Santa Fe, for example. Belgrano is very built up, with a mix of residential and commercial, very practical for living (basically it's a 15-minute city, if that doesn't offend anyone, you can get almost...

You don't normally need lawyers to deal with residency, just a "facilitator" who's basically a gopher with contacts in Immigration to smooth the path. Using a lawyer is over the top (though I don't know how you would go from tourist to permanent resident in one go). You can extend your tourist...

Facts are excellent, 3-month old facts (@Bajo_cero2 's article is from January) are pretty useless with this government. I did search for recent data on the M1 - M3 measures of cash in the economy but I didn't find any from after January. For those who, despite all evidence, "feel" that there's...

You're sure about that? It's been over a year since I got USD from an Uruguayan ATM, but it used to be only in banking hours.

That sounds a bit strange to me, both my previous account (ICBC) and my current one (Itaú) had different CBUs and aliases for Peso and Dollar accounts. And yes, to make a transfer from outside Argentina you need the bank SWIFT code (BSCHARBA in the case of Santander Argentina) and the...

Prior to this year, every time the inflation figures were announced, the cassandras would come out here to crow about how inflation in Argentina was higher than even Venezuela. Where are they now? Who would have thought that Milei would be the one to bring us Argenzuela? Since Peso printing has...

I got a 1kg bag of Montibello Brazilian coffee beans on ML last week for 31k Pesos, it's 35k this week 🤯 It's a lot, but there's nothing other than torrado available where I normally shop.

Why on earth would anyone build a greenfield car manufacturing plant in a country with a 50% overvalued currency? The idea of building car factories in Argentina isn't completely ridiculous, there's a lot of auto-related industry and car manufacturing with the corresponding expertise out in...

We're "nearly finished" building our house (we've been "nearly finished" for the past 6 months), about an hour north of CABA. It's a gated community or 'barrio cerrado" managed by a legal entity set up for the purpose of selling the plots of ground and managing the administrative expenses...

No Pigmentos out my way in provincia, but thanks to @retiredbanker for sharing. My attempt at getting a dengue prescription foundered at the first step, but I'll persevere.

If I understand correctly, Atlantic salmon is fished wild in Argentinian waters and called "salmón blanco". The Pacific salmon comes from Chile, is farmed, cheaper, has a higher environmental impact, and seems to be more susceptible to pests, which may or may not be a consideration if you eat...
