    If you had an Argentine friend in a really bad situation

    That doesn't sound like a nice thing to say. In my experiences there I wouldn't say there are only 1% not lazy. That is a terrible generalization that isn't fair. Many are just beaten down with the bad economy and poor leadership over many decades. There are a lot of hardworking people there too.

    Is crime getting worse? Is safety getting more complicated during this recession?

    Great they caught them. I heard they are going to put up many more cameras and security so that will be a good thing.

    Day 1-2

    Yikes! I haven't been back for a bit. Is it really that expensive for a dinner out now? $100 bucks each sounds like a ton!

    Javier Milei’s government will monitor social media with AI to ‘predict future crimes’

    I agree that controlling and preventing those roadblocks is so nice! Greatly improved the situation.

    Argentina on the Couch - The country has the world’s highest concentration of therapists.

    I have a friend there that is a therapist and she charges everyone the same. But it's impossible not to market her services in dollars because the exchange rate fluctuates so greatly. Going rate seems to be about $20 bucks per session. Doesn't seem that much for us but for a local earning pesos...

    Economy Morgan Stanley Predicts 2025 Inflation rate in Argentina will be 31%

    Very true. I have friends there who are Peronists and I talk about all the progress being made and they quickly try to change the subject and talk about the deep recession. It's like they won't admit any positive things going on there. I am not sure how any reasonable person can't admit that...

    Meloni greets Milei @ G7 (❤️)

    From what I've seen she is very fond of President Milei.

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

    Argentina has some beautiful deputies. I'd love to see the entire cabinet.

    Argentina will be in the group of countries that support the defense of Ukraine against the Russian invasion

    I just saw that news that Argentina plans to give Ukraine 5 junkers planes that they don't even have parts for anyway so they are junk to Argentina. https://www.infobae.com/politica/2024/06/13/argentina-estara-en-el-grupo-de-paises-que-apoyan-la-defensa-de-ucrania-ante-la-invasion-rusa/

    Banking What is going on with the Blue dollar? Why is it going down?

    It is nice to see the blue dollar finally go up. This is what I was waiting for. And prices at the grocery store are finally starting to go down. This is a big win/win. I hope the rate keeps going up. Milei cutting the interest rate definitely is helping the blue rate. It is moving fairly...

    Newcomer Mosquito invasion in BA

    Has anyone else got the dengue vaccine?? @Flamingo did you. have any side effects? I read that the CDC has not approved the vaccine and they only recommend it for "high risk areas". I would have to assume Argentina is now considered high risk area? It scares me getting vaccines now. I read...

    Price of Beef will skyrocket at Parillas and steak restaurants! Good time to become a vegeterian!

    I look around, and it feels like Argentina just voted for Thanksgiving – a nation of turkeys. And it makes me sad. Some posters think everyone should've totally understood what they were voting for, as if that were even possible. Spoiler alert: it wasn't. Milei and his advisors did this weird...

    What happens if Argentina gets too expensive? What are alternative cities/countries to move to when it's overpriced in Argentina?

    It's truly heartening to witness the acknowledgment and celebration of Argentina's vibrant cultural landscape here. The collective gains are undeniable. However, let's not overlook the shadowed corners of Buenos Aires' moonlit streets, where the unfashionable barrios reveal a different...

    Politics Thread: President Javier Milei - Decree of Necessity and Urgency (DNU) in real-time

    Since the dawn of this whole Milei shebang, we've been stuck in a wild world of crazy headlines and fake news perceptions like we're living in a reality show where the scriptwriters forgot to include substance. It's all Milei this, DNU that, and Omnibus something else. It's like trying to...

    Buenos Aires is incredibly cheap for tourists now - but will it last? - Star Tribune

    I do NOT think it will last. It seems like Milei isn't as crazy as all the Massa fans thought he would be. Most of the signs are pointing that he will be more moderate than planned. He seems like a common sense guy with decision making. I believe we have maybe 8 more months to be cheap in US...

    Is the Expat party in Buenos Aires coming to an end?

    How can I be deemed lacking in compassion for suggesting those who can afford it contribute to higher education funding, especially when child poverty is on the rise in many countries. Given that I'm facing character assassination for holding a differing opinion and find certain aspects of your...
