Import Restrictions To Be Lifted

[Matiasba]

I rest my case against you Matias.

I dont believe in free market.
I believe in market regulations, without them, the capital tends to accumulate, like we have today, one single person with trillions in the banks, and, on the other side, millions who live with a dollar per day.

Almost all of the complaints about "argentine" quality are in comparison to chinese goods that are made under virtual slave labor conditions, and are so cheap that you dont mind throwing them away. I have found many quality argentine clothes, for example- they just arent as cheap as if they were made in Bangladesh.

Argentine free market at work. If they had more regulations, such abuses would not happen.

In every sense except that you are there earning in Mexican pesos, I assume. Which you can then use to buy all the things you are going to import back to Argentina, including US dollars.

Im not importing anything from Mexico, and the dollars, yes, but if I lived here I would get dollars too. Or you are going to say that you can not get dollars here? theres a blue market, you know? and the government knows, which percentage of people who use that market are going to jail?

 

[Matiasba]

Then what the hell are you doing there? Are you a masochist? Why aren't you at the worker's utopia?

dont be sarcastic. I went to Mexico cause I got a job offer.

I'm pretty sure Matias lives in some gulag just outside Moscow.

After decades of free education paid by the government? They should restrict people like you being employed abroad. It is for the common good.

I'm not sure exactly what you are saying, but when I'm in Mexico, I use my ATM card to withdraw Mexican pesos. There is no black market that will pay me 30% more Mexican pesos than what I get from the bank, unlike here.

Sure, I could go to Tepito and maybe get a slightly better rate, but more than likely I would leave naked and penniless.

THAT good is the Argentine State that gives me free education without asking anything in exchange!

This is the frustrating thing about you and Argentina in general is that you can't see that there are good things and bad things. One of the good things about Argentina is that it has free education and health care. That doesn't make it a utopia, Matias.
