That must be frustrating. But other than voting you don't really lose any benefits do you @Jakoval and being able to fly in on an Argentine passport. Is there any other hidden benefits that you get?

Surprised to hear this. If anything you would think that foreigners coming to a foreign country would stay clear of shady type investments. Can't believe there are multiple members that this happened to. And if there are 2 or 3 admitting it happened to them then there must be many people out...

I think the situation with poverty really is decreasing. Back before Milei started at the end of the month the grocery stores would be totally empty but now I see them busier even at the end of the month. Prices keep going up but at least things are a bit more stable up until now. I am not...

Wow I have a dollar account at Galicia but I didn't know you could take out that much at once. So you just go to the ATM and no problems taking out $1,000 USD at once? I will have to try this. I am not sure if Galicia's withdrawal limit is that high.

DNI is key. I could never deal with not having a local bank account or not using Mercado Libre. MODO deals are too good to pass up too. And Mercado Pago deals.

Yes I always read some reviews and very good. That is a good sign and I am sure they will keep improving. Is Teams just like Zoom? I would assume so. I never heard of it. Does it work well? I wonder why Microsoft doesn't just add in the functionality to call landlines or cellphones. Seems like...

Is there any websites that have real time crypto rates? I see the websites use it but today is a holiday. Where are you seeing updated crypto rates? I guess it makes sense the blue or MEP or CCL would lag the crypto rate.

Same. I have $19 that I have never used and will try to use it. The only thing I use my Skype for is to get bank texts since I ditched my cellphone service. With WhatsApp I don't really need to pay to call anyone as all my friends use WhatsApp. Skype was great for what it was. I am surprised...

I saw it on YouTube.

Another story on Libra. https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/global-trends/crypto-crime-corruption-a-memecoin-familys-checkered-past-puts-the-presidency-of-argentinas-javier-milei-in-trouble/articleshow/118813648.cms?from=mdr

Many of the Milei fanboys seem like they would support him no matter what he does or says. Kind of funny that he platformed on closing the Central Bank and now he seems to love it. I wonder if Milei forces the IMF loan with DNU and without support of Congress if a future government coming along...

What bothers me is people that complain all the time when it gets expensive but living it up while locals are suffering yet they have a strong blue dollar. Sometimes I think people don't like BA for BA and just here when it's cheap. Annoying.

Does Argentina use credit scoring? Is there an equivalent to FICO like we have in the USA?

Speaking of Taco Bell I saw this online. I am not sure it would do well here. Locals don't really have much of an interest in anything other than bland food. They hate spicy food. Looks like they are trying to bring Taco Bell to Argentina.

Fabulous pick for Ambassador to Argentina!
