    Cafe waiter interaction: official thread on requesting service or a check

    My favorite trick: Shout out: "La Dolor Rosa, por favor." The hurmor always makes them notice. You can do las malas noticias, but it isn't as funny.

    English-speaking dentists & ferry schedule/prices to Uruguay

    BTW, when you get back to CABA from Montevideo beware that all the taxis at the terminal are involved a rate fare scams. The best thing is to walk a few blocks and make sure to get a taxi with a fare machine.

    Protest Against Milei’s Move to Scrap Film Institute, INCAA

    Exactly correct. Rich One’s assumption that 70% administration/30% is on its face unusual or should be rebalanced suggests a complete lack of familiarity with the operation of public programs institutions, the procedures and costs of administration. The balance between administration of programs...

    Protest Against Milei’s Move to Scrap Film Institute, INCAA

    Certainly considering events in the not so-long ago past, defunding the army and redirercting the funds to the arts might not have been such a bad choice.

    LOL. Try Van Gogh for starters. Lived off of handouts from his brother and never sold a painting in his entire life. Was only properly recognized after his death.

It isn't much, but...

    You misunderstand how "multiplier effect" is used in economics. It has nothing to do with what you describe. "The multiplier effect is an economic term, referring to the proportional amount of increase, or decrease, in final income that results from an injection, or withdrawal, of capital. In...

    I'd be speaking to myself, after 50 or so years in the business. You're right. There's no hard psychological data that people have had their minds take off of unhappiness by watching a movie. But it does seem intuitive. But hard data that seeing "Barbie" makes you happy? Would be pretty...

    One thing is obvious. Nobody on this list has ever worked in the entertainment industry. Pretty much every comment offered here is incorrect. FACT 1: arts programs have been shown, repeatedly, to have a multiplier effect. “Every $1 increase in the demand for arts and culture generates $1.69 in...

    Dollarization

    At the start Somalia isn’t dollarized. And Guam is an American possession so yes it does use dollars. But from those gaffs it’s pretty much downhill. Bottom line is Argentina does not have and has no excess to the amount of dollars required. EOS.
