Absolutely true about the dating hacks of having female friends. We go out in groups back home and it works the other way too. I have gone out on a lot of dates that my male friends have set me up with their friends and it puts me at ease. There are a LOT of creeps out there. Just getting a...

I read this today. It doesn't sound like dollarization is going to happen on it's own. Looks like a lot of dollar deposits from people bringing in cash from that tax forgiveness. But why would people keep this in the bank? Isn't it at risk of a possible bank run? Does not seem smart to keep...

Why do the Senegal people just hang out in Once? Is that the only area they sell stuff in?

This seems unbelievable. :oops: So what incentive do people have to not just getting paid in cash? Many illegals and migrants do that in the USA and just work in cash but seems nuts an entire country would have 50% of the people doing this. How does anything get done? I guess I understand why...

From what my friends tell me there, it's not even close to being over. Everyone seems to be complaining lately.

Oh joy! Doesn't sound like this year will be any better. https://en.mercopress.com/2024/09/25/argentine-university-says-dengue-carrying-mosquito-more-resistant-to-insecticides?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_content=main&utm_campaign=rss&ct=t(RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN)

My friend there ordered something from Amazon before. She doesn't have a DNI and used her passport. I think it was just a shirt. It arrived but she did get hit up for a little bit more customs tax when it came. But this was 2 months ago. I'm not sure if something changed. This new promotion...

Exactly what my friends living there now in Palermo are saying. They moved there last year probably when things were less than half or more of what they cost now. They were willing to put up with dog poop on the streets and sidewalks, bad customer service, slow service, expensive electronical...

I have a feeling a TON of digital nomads are going to be spending 2025 at different employers or coming back to the US. My friends in Buenos Aires that work for Amazon just got informed they have to come back to the office in January 2025 so they have to come back home. Many companies are doing...

Thank you! I am here in Spain now. I have a ticket for December to come to Buenos Aires. With my luck the mosquitos will be bad again by the time December comes. I will come as long as my friends are still there. They are talking about possibly leaving BA earlier so if they come to Spain then I...

I keep hearing about progress that is being made in Argentina and then I will read articles like this that sound like not really much progress is being made. https://www.batimes.com.ar/news/argentina/double-blow-for-milei-as-senate-boost-university-funds-blocks-side-cash.phtml

@FuturoBA do you have the link to that website where you can see historical blue dollar rate by dates?

My friend just went there. She said it's not as good as Osaka but it's not as expensive either she said.

Sounds like good advice. My friends are there now and they said since last year many things are more. They are in a long term lease now vs. Airbnb where they are paying the expenses. I have seen other people post examples of each month's bills from January until today and jumps up. Probably...

What am I missing here? If the minimum pension was only $156 USD with previous administration and it's $224 USD now. When you say @CecilM that he promised not to touch pensions and "here we are" what do you mean? Did he touch the pension? That is a healthy % increase from what they were getting...

:ROFLMAO: That seems crazy to me. Seems counter productive to let two different realtors list your property at different prices.

Wow it sounds like prices are rebounding there after a couple years falling.

Seems like a no win situation. I don't really understand Argentina and just reading articles but doesn't seem like the math works out. People can't expect to get raises if consumers aren't spending. If consumers aren't spending that means businesses will struggle. If businesses struggle then...

These people are sick! Just saw this news about them. https://www.infobae.com/sociedad/policiales/2024/08/23/los-aberrantes-videos-que-le-encontraron-al-diputado-acusado-de-pedofilia/

So with this new news that they announced will Apple Pay work on the subways and the buses now?
