    Newcomer After Milei's Veto—Hatred appears

    This is truly a shame. While shouting 'we must kill the traitor,' they attacked a libertarian influencer who was covering the veto of the university funding law outside of Congress. Is this what they call freedom of expression? Meanwhile, those against Milei boast about being peaceful.

    Don't count Cristina Kirchner out for a comeback

    Exactly! With the economic crisis in the country, many people feel insecure about their future, and Milei promises radical change. His fresh approach and rejection of the status quo resonate with young people who want to see something different in the country. In contrast, older generations are...

    Newcomer My wife (Argentinian) claims you can live "well" on $1500 a month in Argentina. True?

    I don't think it's possible to live on a salary of $1,000–$1,200 USD right now. Every month I need to exchange more dollars because the value keeps dropping a bit more each day. The dollar is becoming a weaker currency here, though I can't say for sure what's going to happen, Argentina is always...

    Don't count Cristina Kirchner out for a comeback

    According to Cristina, "unity needs direction and a plan to build the best Peronism possible in an Argentina that has become impossible for most of its inhabitants." What does she think? That she's going to save the world? We all know that her style of government has always been and will always...

    Black people in Argentina

    In Argentina, history made the Black population much less visible compared to places like the U.S. or Brazil, where slavery had a much stronger impact and racism is still a very relevant issue today. In the U.S., slavery was a key part of the economy, and even though it was abolished, structural...

    Day 3-5

    About a month ago, I went in for my routine cleaning and paid 50,000 pesos, Dr. Laura is excellent, very professional. She actually did a teeth whitening along with an ultrasonic cleaning and fluoride treatment. A simple cleaning probably costs much less. I found her through a recommendation...

    Black people in Argentina

    I have seen them in Constitucion and in Flores, I have heard that they are in the conurbano, they use the same mechanism everywhere, they sell in the streets, the government should regularize their situation.

    Education A sensitive issue in Argentine society that could tarnish Milei's image: Cutbacks in public education

    I insist that foreigners studying here at public universities should be charged a monthly fee. Just listen to that Chilean complaining about public and free education. In this country, many things need to be reorganized to make everything work properly. With what face is he making that...

    Economy The adjustment figures that precipitated a new Federal University March - Infobae

    I strongly support education, but don’t tell me this is NOT a political march. Also, I’d like to know where they get the money to set up such an impressive stage...

    Politics Will Cristina Kirchner finally be sentenced to prison?

    This week we’ll finally know for sure what will happen with Cristina’s sentence. Some are already celebrating, but six years seems so little for someone who stole so much from her nation...

    Newcomer Power cuts this summer

    From my experience, power outages with Edesur tend to last longer than those with Edenor. I've never been without electricity for more than a few hours, but my in-laws have had to go over a day without it in the past.

    Official Thread on Corruption in Argentina - Milei Administration Cleaning up house

    This union leader from the teachers' guild is a despicable person, inciting and pressuring teachers to go on strike, wishing for everything to go to hell. It's because of people like this that the country is in the state it's in...

    Does anyone else find it strange Argentina still thinks they won the Falklands War?

    The story of the Falkland Islands is far from over. I believe you have to be Argentine to truly understand it. The British ambassador refused to take a photo because a congresswoman was wearing a shirt featuring the Malvinas with the colors of the Argentine flag. For Argentines, this remains a...

    Economy Milei Sets Up Argentina Privatizations for Airline, YPF - Bloomberg News

    Exactly, you're right! It's time to put an end to all the corruption and abuse. Since 2008, when Aerolíneas Argentinas was nationalized, Argentinians have paid for more than 900 planes, yet there are only 80 in operation. It's disgraceful, and the best thing that could happen to Aerolíneas is...

    Official Thread on Corruption in Argentina - Milei Administration Cleaning up house

    Yet another case comes to light, showing how examples of corruption from previous administrations keep surfacing. Five Kirchnerist militants who didn’t work for 118 days but kept getting paid... and to top it off, one of them was the son of a former director of the Congressional social security...

    Sounds like the government is planning for a lot of power blackouts this summer

    It's frustrating to hear about another summer full of power blackouts, especially since this has been a problem for years. Instead of constantly dealing with outages, the government should be investing in modernizing the country’s energy infrastructure. Proper maintenance, upgrades to the power...

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

    Milei has repeatedly expressed his intention to quickly and definitively remove currency controls if he won the presidency. According to his proposals, one of his top priorities was to liberalize the exchange market, allowing for the free buying and selling of foreign currency without...

    Politics Javier Milei and Elon Musk met for the third time in the United States - Infobae

    It seems like Milei is still making waves, this time receiving applause in none other than Wall Street. What's interesting is that, while his style and rhetoric spark controversy in Argentina, in international settings like this, his ideas seem to resonate with certain financial sectors.
