    Newcomer Basic salary and cost of living in BA

    Well, the results released in May for the month of April showed a surprising outcome: to belong to the middle class in Buenos Aires, you need to earn between $1200 and $1500 USD per month, depending on whether you pay rent or not. This threshold keeps rising, mainly due to food prices slowing...

    Politics Another transport strike, trains on Tuesday the 25th? Didn't they reach an agreement?

    It seems that the trains will operate with a speed limit of 30 kilometers per hour, which will impact other modes of transportation. I thought they had reached an agreement earlier in June after several meetings, where it was said they had come to an understanding regarding the union's...

    I don't care what they say about me as long as they spell the name of the country Argentina right.

    I think you make a good point about how fanaticism isn’t good. I support Milei, but it’s clear that mistakes have been made too. Just because I voted for him doesn’t mean I’m a fanatic. A lot of people voted for him out of a lack of better options, not necessarily out of conviction. They were...

    Newcomer What are some must-see attractions or hidden gems in BA?

    If you're interested in learning about the culture, typical food, and customs of the country, I highly recommend visiting the Mataderos Fair. It's a true piece of history where you'll encounter traditional gauchos on horseback and experience folklore firsthand. It's a must-see...

    She even has people who support her unconditionally. She said nobody is going to stop her and that she will never abandon her friend. As Vince says, it's also a matter of loyalty.

    Politics On this day, 8 years ago...

    Do you remember this corruption scandal? Cristina Kirchner's Public Works Secretary, Jose Lopez, was caught throwing bags in a convent containing 9 MILLION DOLLARS and a MACHINE GUN!! Oh my God! I wonder if he's still in jail. The important thing is Never Forget. The damage they caused during...

    Politics Milei: "They think doing things poorly is normal"

    He's going to put an end to all the corruption that has been going on for a long time, and that bothers "the Casta." It's true, he's very passionate when he speaks, and sometimes he seems angry, but it's just his personality. So far, he has done what he promised in his campaign, and I think it's...

    Newcomer It's great to see that the anti-picket protocol is effective

    It's encouraging to see that the anti-picket protocol is proving effective. For years, popular access blockades have adversely impacted workers, hindering their ability to reach their workplaces. It's good to see that after so long, some measures are being taken to address this situation.

    Newcomer Wow, such confidence! This young man knows what he wants! 😄

    Job Interview: This young man knows what he wants: $4,000 a month, only Monday to Friday until 5 PM, no working after hours or on-call duties. Did he find his dream job, or is he destined to keep looking? 😂 What do you think? Is it okay to dream big, or should he be more realistic? We'd need to...

    Politics Can this guy Grabois be so unpleasant? 🤮

    He just keeps sinking deeper and deeper into his own mess. He's a disgusting person who doesn't even respect women. He's a provocateur, always looking for a fight. The best thing he could do is stop stealing from the poor and answer for the corruption and extortion he caused when he mismanaged...

    Politics Is this real? A congresswoman who doesn't even have a high school diploma?

    Her name is Natalia Zaracho, a deputy for the Frente Patria Grande, and she is active and very comfortable stating in an interview that she barely finished primary school because she doesn't like to study... This truly infuriates me.

    Argentina Court Orders Milei to distribute held up food to the poor

    Argentina Court Orders Milei to distribute held up food to the poor

    Exactly, all of this is under investigation since many of the soup kitchens didn't exist. Perhaps they should find a way to support the soup kitchens that actually function and continue with the investigation to prosecute those responsible...
