Argentine peso wildly overvalued

[chris]

True, you don't even need to go out of CABA just out of touristy areas. I was visiting someone near the Hospitales subte stop on line H, went to buy something at a kiosco, as soon as the guy realized I was a yankee he looked at me like I was an alien from out of space and started replying "que????" aggressively to everything I said even though I speak good Spanish and he knew exactly what I was saying

There are irritating people like this. I wonder if they react that way to native Spanish speakers who come from other countries and have distinctly different accents. I am not a psychologist so I don't know what is behind this mentality -- resentment?

I think many who are left like Argentina but they very often stay because they are married to Argentines or in relationships and have set down roots and cannot easily get out.

The whole "if you like Argentina, you should never leave" argument is somewhat juvenile. Maduro made the same insult telling Venezuelans fleeing inflation to "stop cleaning toilets abroad". There are countless Argentines who love their country but have left because of economic instability. Expats are no different and it should not color their love of Argentina either.

Someone understands how the basic salary average (According to Milei) grew from US$300 to US$1,100 ..?

Javier Milei, en cadena nacional: “El salario básico promedio creció de US$ 300 a US$ 1.100”

En la cadena nacional con la que conmemoró su primer año de gestión, el presidente Javier Milei (La Libertad Avanza) aseguró: “El salario básico promedio creció de US$ 300 a US$...

"For this reason, Milei's phrase, who said that “the average basic salary grew from US$300 to US$1,100” is misleading.

Although the equivalent of the salary in dollars went from US$ 500 in November 2023 to US$ 1,100 in September 2024, most specialists do not recommend comparing income according to its equivalence with the dollar but rather in relation to what the dollar buys.

In this sense, in September 2024 salaries measured in dollars could buy the same amount of goods and services as in November 2023. That is, in real terms (including the effect of Argentine inflation), there was no increase, as Milei stated".

The literary term is "Latin American magical realism"

Very timely with the Netflix Series "100 años de Soledad" de Garcia Marquez (Nobel), However the fictitious/failed libertarian town in the series is ruined by the State intervention, and later destroyed by the revolutionary forces.

Very true. There are realities that have to be faced. Some people are not in a position to stay.

The USD has gone up (measured against an average of other nations' currencies) 7% since october. It makes no sense it's dropped against the ARS.

Argentina is all about making no sense.
