Cfk Orgullosa: Argentina Es El País Que Más Consume Gaseosa!

Spending money to kill off your market makes sense?

If they do it with your products, yes.

it grew a lot since the 2001 crisis, in fact we turned into a producer country while we were a consumer, or "de paso". Now Buenos Aires and Montevideo are the exit points to europe from all south american production. The narco problem grew considerably under the K administration, but Im afraid there wasnt much they could do, since it is only explainable from Geopolitics and not from national administration variables.

What.....?



Ok, Matias, explain it to me. Why exactly was the growth of the drug trafficking industry here not something the government could do anything about?

If you have big actors promoting narcos, from all over the continent (Pacific alliance cough cough), exportig narcos to the region, and then you have an important variable often underestimated when talk of narco problem, the increasing demand, yes its you who govern and yes its your responsaility, but the thing is its too hard. Look at it. Look at europe or the US and their narco problems. They have a very important percentage of the youth hooked on with drugs!! Its a big bussiness... its very difficult to a central power, to a central government, to avoid the drug problem. Even the nordic countries with Heroin...

When will BAExpats learn?! All of Argentina's problems can be traced so some foreign superpower or middle power or third world poo-hole inflicting their evil Capitalism on this innocent Third-Position country.

In this case it is the Mexicans in cohorts with the Imperiaristic Anglo-American anti-Argentina secret alliance.

also, they couldn't fulfill their own salary expectations without it
Aerolineas Argentinas pilots would not be able to take off.... truckers and bus drivers would never be on time... you get the picture

The consumption of Coca Cola is an indicator for the economy, just like the other "indicators" listed on this website: http://www.tylervigen.com/

It IS an indicator. ...
Im not saying to base any analysis on this indicator, cause that would be crazy, just saying that is an indicator. If you compare the economic cycle of Argentina in the last 15 years it fits with the Coca Cola consumption. Guess why? because Coca Cola is consumption, it is a good, expensive for the poor, and there wasnt consumption in 2002, we had a depressed economy, and now consumption is booming, and that includes the Coca Cola.

Matias, it appears from your writing that you have very little or no experience with statistics, study design, and cognitive errors. Would you agree?

If you look up a topic known as 'study design' you will understand exactly where the errors in your statements occur and what makes something a valid indicator by definition.

Im a sociologist myself, believe me, I know something of statistics. I repeat, I m not saying to base any analysis of anything based on this indicator, but it is an indicator. Consumption of Coca Cola is a variable, perhaps with no weight compared with other economic variables, but in Argentina its consumption fits with the Argentine cyccle of consumption, so the record of consumption of Coca Cola in this case might reflects Argentine economic cycle. Of course you cant infer anything, but there is in fact some correlation between these two.
Besides, it could be an index, you know, as the Big Mac index exists.
