    Economy What is the average salary expected by Argentinians nowadays?

    Honestly, I have to applaud the banking union. It’s the only union that has managed to secure a salary that keeps up with inflation, nearly 1,500,000 ARS. I wish they could set an example for others to follow. Plus, they’ve always had the best working conditions and benefits, but especially in...

    Newcomer Tina & Co in BA

    Absolutely! But sometimes you give in. A couple of months ago, I bought a 2-pack of Pop-Tarts for 8,000 ARS. I've been here for three years and hadn't had one in even longer. I don’t buy them regularly, but every now and then, it's a nice little comfort treat.🥹

    Newcomer More Provinces Charge Foreigners for Public Hospital Care

    Another province has joined the move to charge foreigners for medical services. This time, it’s Pablo Soria Public Hospital in Jujuy. This is how it should be. This policy should also be applied to universities. Foreign students should pay for their education just as they would for healthcare...

    Anyone got any overstay "horror stories" ?

    Foreigners take advantage of this country's resources, and I hope Milei implements measures regarding foreign students. The university should be paid for them, and of course, they should enter with a student visa. I fully support immigration being stricter now.

    Politics The Secretary of Religion under Milei wants to repeal abortion laws

    This is very negative for Milei's government; he wants to repeal the abortion law and even questioned divorce and same-sex marriage. This gentleman seems stuck in the Stone Age, with a very backward mindset that holds back society. I just hope Milei doesn't follow his advice...

    Newcomer How difficult is it to access home ownership in Argentina?

    Becoming a homeowner is a utopia, thanks to successive devaluations since 2018, rampant inflation, and incomes persistently losing ground against inflation. This story is not new. Today, 'choosing' to own property is a luxury that few can afford; this has been the case for most of recent...

    Argentina's Milei faces biggest protest yet as students march over budget cuts - Riots going going to start soon

    I believe this has been the most intense and genuine protest during the Milei era. It serves as a wake-up call, especially considering that a significant portion of the attendees are Milei's supporters; in fact, around 60% of his voter base comprises young people...
