Immigrants complaining about immigrants, like a snake eating its tail lol

Bem-vindo! You guys should all feel at home here, lots of Brazilians in BA. Facultad de Medicina on Cordoba is basically Barrio Brasileño, super common to hear tons of people speaking Portuguese, and I like to call the Western Union Casa Central the Brazilian Embassy (exceto que não ha ordem e...

Fintechs/Neobanks (MercadoPago, Reba, Brubank, etc.) and Brokerage firms (apparently Galicia too as I'm seeing it in Home Banking) let you buy and sell dollars via the MEP, the legal dollar that's often closest to the blue. For example, this is what I see in Reba when I sign in: What you...

Not helping the rumors about his sister... to be fair, if my husband said his brother was his valentine we'd be having problems too

When I was less busy I was looking at helping out with the Buenos Aires Food Bank, but since I now work 12 hour days/weekends I've opted just to donate money instead. The City has a page about the work they do too, so you can see they're legit.

For my teen/adult life until 2020 I always worked in person and never really thought of WFH being a thing until COVID. I ended up changing careers, and started working in tech during the pandemic, and have done so since, and the consensus from my colleagues/peers is that RTO is just company's...

I would love for him to focus on being president instead of inserting our country in to conflicts, or jet setting off to Miami for esoteric awards and pissing away millions of fighter jets we don't need.

I really wish Argentine businesses followed the law of supply and demand; demand goes down and prices increase here lol

I have dollars saved from working in North America before returning to Argentina, so I'm generally only selling dollars that were legally obtained and taxes paid on, and that being said, it's stuff like the fees, sketchy exchanges (or in the case of Argentina, anything except P2P being logged...

Milei is giving a masterclass in how to not manage money: - Provincia 25 disappeared, the nickname applied to IVA generated due people from neighboring countries coming shopping here - Domestic IVA is shrinking because consumption is way down, people are only buying the necessities, and...

I'm stuck here due to family. It's home, I don't hate it, I don't love it, it just is what it is. I do feel bad for the millions of people who aren't wealthy expats who can flee. Now we have all the problems of Peronism, but everything is 300% more expensive, more taxes, more expensive imports...

Has anyone been fishing down in Patagonia (either side)? I'm not remotely an angler, and don't even eat fish or seafood, but I do like the idea of spending some autumn or spring days catching and releasing in the middle of nowhere.

I'm going through something similar, but with a lot we're buying to build a house on in PBA. Basically you get different forms/certificates as the process progresses, resulting finally in a deed. Until the project is complete and the municipality (or city in the case of CABA) does the...

I've flow via Panama a few times to North America and it's not bad, only issue is the restroom size, anyone over 5'10" struggles to get inside

This is why I'm 100% against the drilling they want to do in the Argentine Sea between Mar del Plata and Rawson. Spills would be disastrous to everything from tourism, to wildlife (including several endangered species) to the marine aquaculture we export for dollars. There's nothing "Nac y...

I usually notice a decrease in them between June and September, but as the climate has changed over the past decade since I've come to Argentina I've noticed them hanging around longer, which is also contributing to the dengue epidemic itself. I run the AC in my bedroom at 22 on dry and that...

1. It depends on the type of dollars you want, and whether the pesos you're using to buy them are en blanco - You can buy an unlimited about of MEP dollars provided you can legally justify the pesos you use to do so - You can buy dollars with cash on Florida Street from caves (doesn't...

Massa sucked and I'm glad he isn't president, but this is literally "Ah pero Massa" that the Ks were doing about Macri. Nothing new under the sun.

How long until we have "The forces of heaven" intentionally getting dengue to own the libs? How can people look at the state of healthcare in Argentina and think this isn't a crisis that needs to be addressed? People are abandoning prepaid medicine because people can't afford it, and the public...

What I mean is that if you use your debit/credit card a dollar costs $1,400 instead of $1,000 via the Blue or MEP dollars, so you have people using either cash or paying their credit card balance for purchases abroad with dollars instead of pesos. But I 100% agree that demand has collapsed, but...
