    Milei Doesn’t See Argentina Dollarizing Before October 2025

    Well, of course they can go back to the peso, but it will make their sham of money printing more obvious and more difficult.

    Milei Doesn’t See Argentina Dollarizing Before October 2025

    Thank you, that being said, dollarizing is still necessary because once the god awful day arrives that the Peronists reassume power, without dollarization, the Peronists will turn on the money printers at hiper speed, to pay off themselves and their cronies.

    Milei Doesn’t See Argentina Dollarizing Before October 2025

    Since Milei has been so successful stabilizing the exchange rate, and doing so in such an incredibly short time, there is no longer the urgency to dollarize that seemed necessary before.

    $100K+ USD for apartment can seller legally insist on cash?

    This cash custom when buying real estate is something that might dissuade me from ever buying an apartment here. It's too bad there isn't an escrow system here - that would be much less nerve racking. Is it possible to hire a real estate lawyer that would assume the risks (theft, title, etc.)...

    Just arrived at EZE - but I have no Stamp in my passport

    Back in the day before Western Union, there was More Money on Libertad. They would hassle me about have an expired passport stamp - saying this was the "last time" they would let me receive money with an expired stamp. I guess I prefer not having the stamp come to think of it. Is More Money...

    Mobile Phone Provider Recommendations and Where to Buy (Plaza Italia)

    I found an old internet cafe/kiosko near Palermo subway station and the guy only had Claro, so I just went with that $6 for a number and data. Argentina is still cheap. He did say this was only good for a month and then I'd have to do it over again. Before I just recharged and kept the number...

    State institutions can no longer use inclusive language

    Gender ideology is the new cornerstone of Neoliberal Cultural Colonialism. Milei would be better off doing this on the Down-Low and concentrate on his economic reforms, viz. reducing the size of the public sector. Also, this will cause Millennial American and Western European tourists to have a...

    Mobile Phone Provider Recommendations and Where to Buy (Plaza Italia)

    The last time I was here, I remember just going to a Kiosko and buying a Movistar sim card. But I asked at a few Kioskos today and they said no. Can anyone recommend a good place to buy a sim card near Plaza Italia - cell repair stores maybe? Any difference between the providers. I noticed...

    Just arrived at EZE - but I have no Stamp in my passport

    In the taxi into the city, I looked in my passport and there is no stamp. The migraciones lady took my photo and fingerprint. Is it all electronic now or am I in for a bureaucratic nightmare?

    Knee Surgery in Baires

    https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/insurance/medicare/does-medicare-cover-knee-replacement-surgery For me, I will try the knee injection again, if I can find a doctor in Baires that uses imaging. Without imaging, it's a crap shoot whether it will work. As far as surgery, if you have Medicare...

    Prices at La Biela?

    I tried downloading the menu but couldn't get it done. With the rate of inflation so high, maybe they have given up on updating menus and just use a chalkboard over the bar with a kid updating the prices in real time.
