    Milei is well qualified and succeeding as president of Argentina

    @desde_Holanda, It would be meaningless to continue the debate if you don't agree that the final stages of hyperinflation would be a lot worse than anything you are complaining about now. When doctors prescribe amputation, it's because they believe the condition is so bad that without that...

    Milei is well qualified and succeeding as president of Argentina

    @redlobster, In the November 2023 survey, *before* Milei took over, the average inflation forecast were: Dec 2023: 18.1% Jan 2024: 20.7% Feb 2024: 16.6% Mar 2024: 14.4% Apr 2024: 11.8% The actuals were: Dec 2023: 25.5% Jan 2024: 20.6% Feb 2024: 13.2% Mar 2024: 11% Apr 2024: 8.8% The so call...

    Milei is well qualified and succeeding as president of Argentina

    @redlobster, one can certainly argue that amputation was unnecessary torture on a case by case basis. That's fine, you're entitled to your opinion and many well qualified experts will even agree with you. However, can you recognize that many other well qualified experts disagree with you and...

    Milei is well qualified and succeeding as president of Argentina

    More importantly, if you look at earlier surveys from 2023, you'll see that the forecasts got worse and worse throughout the year, meaning they became more pessimistic. The opposite is happening in the past few months. The inflation forecasts has become more optimistic over the past few...

    Milei is well qualified and succeeding as president of Argentina

    @desde_Holanda, So you believe anyone who prescribes amputation or chemotherapy as a treatment is not a qualified doctor? Also, before you blame Milei on the sky high inflation, take a look at the inflation forecasts for 2024 and 2025 from the November 2023 survey.

    Milei is well qualified and succeeding as president of Argentina

    Milei got himself elected by offending a lot of people and then teaming up with some of the people he offended greatly. Milei is achieving his objectives through a combination of threats, retribution, marketing, negotiations and compromises, while having the courage to make tough unpopular...

    WiFi repeater needed

    For most apartments, a repeater is not needed with the proper setup. Devices further away from the router should be connected using the 2.4 GHz due to their range and better ability to penetrate through walls and other solid obstructions. Devices closer to the router can connect using the...

    Does this deserve comment? Senators Double Their Pay

    For those who do not believe they should get that salary increase, would you be willing to do that job? If you are willing, then how much do you believe you should get paid to do it? If you're not willing to do it, then tell us why not?

    Milei meeting with Elon Musk

    Some people consider the behavior to be genuine and sincere. Those who appreciate such qualities might find such a person to be likeable.

    Skipping second leg of a flight

    It's official. "As published in the Official Gazette of Brazil, the Presidential Decree No. 11,982, of April 9, 2024, postponed the entry into force of the requirement for Visitor Visas for citizens of Australia, Canada and the United States to April 10, 2025."

    Skipping second leg of a flight

    It gets confusing without a little background. 1. The previous president dropped the visa requirement (2019) with the hope of increasing tourism. 2. The current president issued a decree requiring visa again (2023). Initially set for to be effective Oct 1, 2023, then extended to Jan 10, 2024...

    Mandatory Registry For Bitcoin And Crypto

    @Reply Guy, Even if all cryptocurrencies are banned by every country in the world, companies will continue to build applications using blockchains. If a company chooses to also be involved in cryptocurrencies, that's their choice, and they must follow the rules that regular them. Blockchain is...

    Mandatory Registry For Bitcoin And Crypto

    @lunar, Please don't put words in my mouth. I never said cryptocurrencies have no value or benefits, just like I never said porn has no value or benefits to society. They both are obviously valued and beneficial to some people. In fact, while I had some grammatical errors in my post, it...

    Mandatory Registry For Bitcoin And Crypto

    @Reply Guy, You are confusing the blockchain technologies with cryptocurrencies and the platforms used for trading cryptocurrencies. Based on your previous analogy, the government is not proposing to regulate the internet, it is asking the porn sites to register with them. Others can continue...

    Mandatory Registry For Bitcoin And Crypto

    It doesn't make sense to compare Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency with the internet. Perhaps it makes sense to compare blockchain with the internet and Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency with porn. Large reputable companies are using the blockchain technology to build many useful and productive applications for...

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

    At the time they check my passport, they always ask me for my email address (both directions). I will then get an email (subject: Comprobante Transito - MIGRACIONES.GOB.AR) with a pdf attachment. Note that if the transit is during weekends or after regular business hours, the email will be sent...
