    Argentina’s president has outperformed expectations at the one-year mark.

    Many countries specifically prohibit a president from holding citizenship of another country to ensure the situation with allegiance remains clear. Can the Argentine president have British citizenship? He is also the first president who had his dog cloned. Is there any award for that?

    Argentina’s president has outperformed expectations at the one-year mark.

    His policies drove prices so high that nobody can afford to buy anything, leaving no room for further growth - a major success. He replaced one tax agency with another. Most significantly, GDP is expected to grow next year, even though it has declined this year. But this "supposed" growth is...

    ATM withdrawals and AFIP

    I'm reasonably familiar with what modern computers can do. I question whether it's practical to match people by name alone. If someone with the same first and last name comes to the country for a vacation and makes some ATM withdrawals, does that put you in trouble?

    ATM withdrawals and AFIP

    Do you really think they’ll go through the trouble of searching a list of all debit card transactions by your name? Since you worked in the States, in the unlikely event that AFIP pays attention, you can always argue that you're withdrawing savings you earned before coming to Argentina. I think...

    Tucker Carlson back in Moscow

    I think what you have inside your head is already perfect as it is. You shouldn't let any "propoganda" touch it.

    Tucker Carlson back in Moscow

    He’s had plenty of opportunities to express his position over the years, so I don’t expect to hear anything new. As for the Tucker Carlson situation in general, here’s how I see it: there is a state- and corporate-sponsored narrative that essentially every journalist in the Western world is...

    Tucker Carlson back in Moscow

    I don't think an investigative journalist can lie in principle, unless he explicitly positions himself as an expert or an eyewitness. He simply presents the views of others, curated by the network. In the voting machines case, Carlson was not even named as a defendant. Sensationalism and...

    22% of the UBA medical students are foreigners

    So, get a part-time job at a kiosco, study medicine for free in Buenos Aires. Gotta admit, it sounds much more sustainable.

    Blue peso at parity?

    There is no THE supply and demand, or that there is neither supply nor demand, or there is one thing, but not the other? When you go to an exchange place, do you have a clear idea of what it is that you want?

    Blue peso at parity?

    Actually, it's the other way around. The blue rate reflects the true market value of the dollar, determined by supply and demand. The official rate is an artificial value imposed by the government, used to exploit the difference between the official rate and the blue rate to their advantage.

    Argentina’s Economy Unexpectedly Shrank Amid Austerity Push

    So, the government was spending 14% of GDP to buy some Resources. But now, luckily, it can no longer spend this money because Milei took it from them. After about a year of private investment, private businesses will finally get hold of these Resources, and then the economy will boom. Now, it is...

    Milei fires foreign minister for opposing US embargo on Cuba

    https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/10/1156316 Only two countries support the embargo against Cuba: the USA and Israel. For some, this represents all of progressive humanity.

    President Milei Slows Inflation to 2021 Levels in Major Win for Argentine People

    So, you were saying Milei didn't bring inflation down to single digits, and nobody else did either, so he must be good? I'm just trying to understand how this cheerleading logic works. 'Milei didn’t invent time travel, and nobody else did either, so he must be a genius?' Am I getting close?

    President Milei Slows Inflation to 2021 Levels in Major Win for Argentine People

    Sorry, just to clarify, which of these do you consider to be a single-digit number: 18% or 38%?

    President Milei Slows Inflation to 2021 Levels in Major Win for Argentine People

    For starters, Domingo Cavallo did it in Argentina with the Convertibility Plan back in 1991, which eventually contributed to economic collapse in 2001. Here are probably some more examples where inflation was drastically reduced in a short period of time: Israel 1984 Bolivia 1985 Poland 1989...

    President Milei Slows Inflation to 2021 Levels in Major Win for Argentine People

    It's like someone was stabbed in the stomach, bled all night, and now that the bleeding has stopped. So, he must be doing much better. What a major win! If he's still breathing? Who cares!
