How's everyone hanging in there with the cost of living these days?

Why would dropping cepo result in 2000 for the dollar? Where will this sudden demand for dollars come from?

Yeahh where will the dollars come from? Dolar MEP is now available...!

Milei would be a dumbski to make any major changes rn. If the prices are too high it's time time to start living on bread and tap water like 800 generation's of your ancestors!! Butter was considered one of life's greatest luxuries until 60 years ago.

Try getting anything with sugar in post war Britain get ready to wait 15 years. A generation who got married in the 1950s never had real wedding cakes with sugar

import a used vehicle tax free as the government is discussing.

I have not heard about that. Is it something under discussion right now?
A while ago I wanted to import my car, but got strongly suggested not to do that because of the insanely complex and bureaucratic process. This maybe is going to change?

I just returned from the casino in Palermo. It was PACKED. And that's after many machines there were recently increased to A$2 with a minimum bet of 100 pesos. Most don't play minimum but more. That, coupled with the outdoor festival of asado and empanadas (which had prices high enough that even made me take notice) on the casino property, would make many wonder what's with all the doom and gloom.

The problem with imported cars is that spare parts are terribly expensive.

My Japanese Toyota side mirror was U$S 760 to replace. The spare wheel complete with tire, costs over U$S 2,000 - it was stolen twice, and the insurance paid for it, but I don't know how many more times the ACA will replace it. I've taken to keeping it in the laundry room while in BA, and carry it in the car only during trips out of town.

What a way to live....!

Probably the same people who are overcharging us for everything to maintain their standard of living.

Who, besides the corrupt pols here, are overcharging and forcing you to buy their stuff?

Just curious: where is the spare located in your Toyota? Outside hanging from the back door or below? My 4Runner has the latter, and I have just realized it would be very easy to steal.
