    Argentina ranked as #2 of nation of women with the biggest butts

    Correct. Fake news if Brazil isn't on the list as #1. I also live in Brazil part time and lots of plastic surgery to make them bigger.

    Tough Times For Argentine Factories As Consumers Penny-pinch

    I hope he opens up imports. These local companies will either need to get competitive or die. I have no issues if they close down. Consumers will win with more products and choices and lower prices. As it should be.

    Desperation situation - I caught my maid of 12 years stealing from me toilet paper and food

    I have had the same type of thing happen in Brazil. You need to nip it in the bud and just fire her. You will never trust her again and she knows that. You have to be careful as in Brazil and maybe Buenos Aires also the maids know where you might keep cash or valuables and you have to worry...

    Real Estate Sales Another micro-neighborhood of Buenos Aires' Palermo - Palermo Freud

    Yes I have rented in this area too and I like it as it is more quiet than Soho. There are many University students in this area. My novia attended Universidad de Palermo which is in this area.

    Any resources for recovering alcoholics in Buenos Aires? Is there Alcoholics Anonymous there?

    This forum is helpful. Do any of you expats have any experience with any AA groups in Buenos Aires for English speakers? I fell off the wagon a few weeks ago. I made the mistake of getting back with my ex-wife and then we had a big fight. I will be in town a few more weeks but I was...

    Worst things about Buenos Aires besides dog poop?

    The thing I hate the most is lines in many places. Last time I went to the supermarket I was in line for about 30 minutes! They can have massive lines for many places with employees that aren't in any hurry or want to help you quickly. No one seems to care or feel sorry that things are so...

    Newcomer Does anyone want to define the true meaning of Peronism?

    Not sure who will take over IF Milei fails but it will be ugly. Kicilioff may be the new golden boy if Milei fails.

    Any expats own gun in Argentina? Do you want to own a gun or firearm here in our country?

    I agree with many of your posts but guns are not good for Argentina. I vote with all the others. No more guns here.

    The Central Bank approved the issuance of $10,000 and $20,000 bills for June

    Well, it's better than getting no change, but still a bit on the low side. Especially considering these bills won't be out and about until June. If the monthly inflation keeps its jolly pace at 25.5%, that $20,000 will be doing a magic disappearing act and end up being worth around $9,726 when...

    Politics ‘All feminists are under attack’: ultra-right threat in Milei’s Argentina forces writer into exile

    I'm starting to really like Milei more and more each day. You can totally judge a guy by his haters, and the folks who've been leading the charge on ruining Western civilization just can't stop making a fuss since he stepped into the big chair! They're squealing like it's a piggy party!

    Medical If COVID comes back and mutates into something else will you get another vaccinated against it?

    The COVID vaccine is like drinking kool-aid at a Charles Manson party. I got COVID and got better in a week, and now I'm immune. People are dropping dead from heart failure because of the vaccine. Insisting the vaccine is totally safe is really wrong, especially when it has been shown to be...
