    5 Largest Tech Companies in Argentina

    My brother said his company hires all their developers in Argentina. I didn’t realize BA had such a big tech scene. He said they are some of the most talented developers his company outsources.

    Wow I like Milei's Picks for Deputies for LLA party!

    Yes. The plastic surgeons here seem great. I was surprised how many females here get it done. My friend said her insurance paid for her new breast implants. Here women don’t seem like they overdo it like in the States.

    Politics Diplomatic crisis with Spain? How does it affect Argentina if the president of Spain withdraws his ambassador?

    I agree with you too @GlasgowJohn. Some trips would be necessary but flying around the world to accept awards every 2 weeks is not a good look when you are laying off 100,000 employees with the claims of no hay plata. One week from Zelensky another week Spain. Just needs to be careful...

    Argentina's Security Minister gets first-hand glimpse of “Bukele Model”

    What Bukele has done there is remarkable. Crime is much better. My friend from there tells me it is very safe now. Previously she couldn’t go out at night without fear of getting robbed.

    Argentina and Ukraine working on joint weapons? Is this true?

    I agree. Many Russian friends I know are totally against what Russia is doing. Many are leaving Russia as that isn’t a country they want to raise their kids in.

    Real Estate Sales Families with mortgages complain about the rise in interest rates - El Cronista

    Yes in looking at the new mortgage products in Argentina it seems like these could be risky with inflation adjustment. I guess if Milei improves things it could be more stable but then again they could shift wildly it seems like too.

    IMF green lights $800 million for Argentina with program 'firmly on track'

    Is the IMF generally disliked by Argentines? When I talk to people there they speak very negatively about them and blame them for their woes. Seems like people always want to blame someone else for bad decisions. Without the IMF what other option would Argentine have had?

    Someone needs to open a restaurant! I can tell you are a great cook! Thanks for this list. I heard they have amazing food in Salta. I haven’t ventured too much in Argentina besides Iguazú, Mendoza and Bariloche but I want to try traveling more and trying out different types of food.
