    Prison or bullet: new government promises harsh response to protest

    Utter hatred of life on display. Very difficult to conceive that someone like you actually exists and isn't a straw man account created by the opposition

    How to vote in US presidential election

    If you're in Buenos Aires, the US embassy recommends that you drop your ballot if you want to mail it by diplomatic pouch by October 13th (today). I believe they are open until 5pm. Otherwise, DHL/Fedex, it will cost you. I think I saw something about democrats abroad negotiating a discount...

    How to vote in US presidential election

    I had been planning to vote by diplomatic pouch. I had called the embassy and there is only a message saying the embassy is closed due to mandatory quarantine restrictions; however, I went by there today and was able to drop off my ballot. They asked for a passport/ID. I used...

    Anybody else thinking the cure is worse than the disease?

    That's the best case scenario and what every leader instituting lockdown would hope people say afterward

    Argentine wifes inches from getting the boot

    I did read the study, it draws no conclusions about infection rate in the general population. That was your contribution. Anyone spending significant time in NYC hospitals in the past month is likely to have been exposed to a very high viral load. Anecdotally, I asked a nurse friend working in...

    Argentine wifes inches from getting the boot

    Isn't the most likely explanation that the virus has been circulating in NYC hospitals since January, and the women picked it up during a routine visit to the hospital itself? I don't see how this relates to virus circulation in the general population, this is about as biased a sample group as...

    Corona Virus May Hit Argentina Hard

    What this youtuber thinks he has discovered in the interview with Walter Ricciardi is called comorbidity. You'll find the same with any serious health complication - the existence of other simultaneous health issues (diabetes renal failure etc) greatly increases the likelihood of death. The...

    My next door neighbor is caughing for six days

    Report her to whom? She's already quarantined and has been self-isolating since the 18th. Perhaps if you notify the corona virus swat team they can drag her to an encampment, or catapult her into space. You shouldn't have to hear her coughing then.

    Western Union money transfer

    I had previously received an error saying to "Check your receiver's bank information" *error code C1777/T3508* when transferring to my Galicia account, but today the transfer did apparently go through, from a US debit card. I used the fill CBU number for my Galicia account and my CUIT. I was...

    US citizen deported at Ezeiza

    Heard through the grapevine that another US citizen was denied a new tourist visa when crossing back into Argentina from Uruguay via buquebus this weekend. Her current tourist visa was still valid, until Thursday, and she was allowed back into the country.

    US citizen deported at Ezeiza

    I have been made to understand that 100% compliance with current tax laws and regulations in this country would be impossible for most businesses and bring economic activity here to a standstill. In terms of "developed" countries, the US certainly has selective enforcement of many of its...

    US citizen deported at Ezeiza

    Fair enough. On the other hand, from what I have seen as a humble outsider, laws here are so selectively enforced that the people dealing with the implementation of the laws are the ones who advise the rest of the public which are enforced and how so. Drinking on the street, construction...

    US citizen deported at Ezeiza

    I wrote that I'd "confirm with him" and later found that my original impression was incorrect. If you read the posts in order it should be easy to figure out. He wasn't in a relationship with an Argentine.

    US citizen deported at Ezeiza

    Denied entry and put on the next flight with his incoming airline to his flight's point of origin. My understanding is migraciones did not explicitly prohibit him from returning to the country, either.

    US citizen deported at Ezeiza

    No blame was assigned in my statement, and I find your tone remarkably impolite. There's no need for judgemental comments here. It might surprise you to know that many people who had overstayed or done Colonia runs were explicitly warned by border agents that they needed to straighten out...

    US citizen deported at Ezeiza

    He had overstays but was never warned by a border agent that he was in danger of being barred entry before yesterday.

    US citizen deported at Ezeiza

    I'm a friend of the guy who was barred entry. I believe he was taking trips to Colonia, not overstaying, and that he was not warned about being barred from the country, but I'll try to confirm with him.

    What would you miss most if you left Argentina?

    I love your posts and your passion for this city. This forum is often used as an outlet for people to express their frustration with living in Argentina as an expat, which I completely understand, but your posts serve as a constant reminder of all the reasons to come in the first place, and...
