For people who are unhappy with Milei, Trump and life in general, this is an opportunity to relocate to Italy. https://6abc.com/post/ollolai-italy-offers-1-homes-americans-upset-donald-trumps-presidential-election/15563055/

So glad that I never received nor was I pressured into receiving the SARS-CoV-2 mRNA pseudo-vaccine.

Many pharmacies will sell you the most expensive brand as the person behind the counter is often a salesperson and not a pharmacist. So, ask if there are generic brands available. Also, sometimes it's more economical to buy a larger dose and cut it with a pill cutter. Or combine smaller dosages...

To make a long story short, my VA Medical Center sent me, at no cost, a small but expensive (+3K) replacement piece of medical equipment via a UPS store. The value was listed as only the cost of shipping to Argentina. Aduana tried to make me pay taxes on the full value. After explaining to...

I learned an expensive lesson regarding aduana the hard way. Never again. And the same with the convoluted rules and regulations concerning the shipping of products from the USA to Argentina. As with most federal activities here, it's all a clown show starring Incompetence, Arrogance and Apathy...

The writer of the article actually believes that the money will be put to good public use. For your reading entertainment: https://gatewayhispanic.com/2024/11/argentina-secures-8-8-billion-in-loans-boosting-competitiveness-without-compromising-sovereignty/

I still pay my Medicare Plan B and my Medicare Supplemental Plan G because I never know when / if I would have to return to the USA. I subscribed via the open enrollment. The VA put and paid for a lot of high grade metal parts in me and with that, coupled with other injuries, I would surely be...

I don't care anymore. Like the United States government creating trillions of dollars via the federal reserve buying debt; and then federal lobbyists and NGOs grifting billions hand over fist, Argentina is also a Twilight Zone economy run by thieves and psychopaths. Trying to keep track of all...

I hope that Milei is thinking hard about what Argentina can offer to the United States prior to his meeting with Trump this week in return for Trump leaning on the IMF. Yerba, beef, Messi and lithium won't cut it.

Although costs here are challenging at the moment, things are now worse for many in the United States. And although Argentina is not yet listed as a top destination, nature abhors a vacuum and people will eventually discover what we discovered long ago namely; the wonderful country of Argentina...

Red, Javier Milei will meet with both President-elect Trump and Elon Musk next week. I imagine he is looking for a trade deal and investment in Argentina. https://www.yahoo.com/news/argentinas-milei-meet-trump-musk-195949129.html

NoSoyDeAqui is correct. What I should have written is that 'they' pick and choose those items, from every category in the basket, to present as low of an inflation profile as possible.

What you are not aware desde_Holanda is that the "basket of items" used to calculate consumer inflation within the CPI-W was not the same in 2024 as it was in 1980. As I correctly mentioned, food and fuel costs are now excluded. This deceitful manipulation by the Biden/Harris regime negatively...

It's mere crumbs. It's 2.5% for 2025, because, simply put, the Biden regime deceitfuly masked the real inflation numbers in order to try and abet their electoral chances via lying about inflation. They did so by using the CPI-W, which doesn't include food and fuel costs, to determine inflation...

Trump and Milei have a good relationship which will manifest itself as a benefit to Argentina in the form of trade policy. Also, with the Trump victory comes the expectation that DXY will hold its value, which is good news for those whose income is U.S. dollar based. So, while people may not...

Do you have access to a financiero? When I need dollars I wire funds, via EFT, from my US account to his US bank. Upon confirmation of receipt, he delivers to my home, new, large face Benjamins. Or pesos if needed. I've never waited more than 24 hours and the rates on average are the same as...

He also fired her for not being smart enough to understand what the administration's policy was even though it was public knowledge.

Good for for you Steve. That's the way to expatriate. I did the same in Bolivia and Colombia. It's an enriching experience to see things and to do things that no tourists and few expatriates will see or do.

Aside from blaming Milei for Argentina's inflation, for the Americans here, there is the other side of the coin to consider; specifically that part which lies north of the equator. Regarding your dollars, the FY-2025 Social Security COLA is a pittance, a measly 2.5%, which is an absurdly low...

Last week I paid 122 Agreed. With the country being awash in pesos, the rate of inflation will diminish, but prices are not likely to follow to any meaningful degree. As is the situation in the U.S., too much money was recklessly printed in Argentina by self-serving politicians for wasteful...
