    Newcomer Does the protagonist of "El Encargado" suggest avoiding those streets in Palermo for a specific reason, or is it just for dramatic effect?

    I can't wait for Season 3! I heard it's going to be in Rio? https://www.lanacion.com.ar/propiedades/casas-y-departamentos/la-historia-detras-del-acuerdo-con-los-vecinos-del-edificio-donde-se-filmo-el-encargado-nid19072024/

    Milei wants the retirement age of Argentines to be raised

    I agree this is crazy. Their reasoning that some people live to 90 years old is ridiculous! Median age is much lower. Expecting people not to retire until 70 to 75 years old is bonkers.

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

    If he really thinks that he is welcome to cash in his stash of US dollar savings and liquidate and buy pesos right now. No thanks. I think I will take my chances and just sell dollars as needed.

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

    They are auditing the disability claims of people and some people are dumb enough to have submitted x-rays of their dogs!

    Argentina in the Copa America - Will they go all the way to Champions again?

    Disagree with you. If it was an overreaction she wouldn't have gone to apologize. With Milei going there in a few weeks there is no need to turn this into something bigger. Finally Milei is showing some common sense. This was the right move apologizing. The VP and Karina don't get along and...

    Argentina in the Copa America - Will they go all the way to Champions again?

    This is very true. Much of it isn't racism per se but there is still racism here whether they want to admit it or not. It might not be too direct but it exists. I have a lot of friends from Venezuela and there are tons of racism here. And most people aren't really ashamed of it. They will get...

    Congrats for a good call. Are there many foreigners buying in Buenos Aires now like after the big crash in 2002?

    Blue dollar hits a new historical record! 1,500 to $1 USD

    In other words, none of you know what will happen. I see the Blue dollar holding steady today but the MEP continues to go down.

    With buyers wary, Argentina's zombie mortgage market has a long road to revival

    For all the talk about mortgagees and all the interest, there are hardly any getting approved. I talked to my banker and he told me they had tons of applications in the tens of thousands but not many have gotten funds yet. It's a long painful process.

    Argentina in the Copa America - Will they go all the way to Champions again?

    Yikes! I didn't see that. Hard to imagine many Argentines that would celebrate Messi getting hurt.

    Economy What if Milei is wrong about the economy?

    I don't expect things to get solved overnight. This will take years to sort itself out.

    Economy AFIP increased the amount from which banks and virtual wallets must report the movements of their clients

    Definitely the younger generation all use Mercado Pago. I believe taxis now all accept payments from digital wallets too now.

    Argentina in the Copa America - Will they go all the way to Champions again?

    What a game. Argentina pulled it off yet again. Yet another Copa victory!

    Blue dollar hits a new historical record! 1,500 to $1 USD

    I don't think most people are blaming Milei for all the problems Argentina is having. Of course not all the blame on him. Just not a good idea to fly around the world accepting awards and then claiming he is probably going to win the Nobel prize. Makes him look silly and stupid when the...

    Visas How complicated is it to obtain residency in Argentina?

    Do you have a friend that will allow you to get mail? I did that for a friend applying for their DNI. They just used my apartment. If you hire lawyer it much easier. 6 month for citizenship sound very quick!! I never heard of that. I heard rumor that some Russians are paying big bribes to some...

    Best sports bar to watch the UEFA Euro 2024 on Sunday in Buenos Aires (UK vs. Spain)

    This is a wonderful place. My brother always comes here when he comes in town. Get the double cheeseburger. He told me the best he has had. Called the "Tachame la Doble".

    My condo bill has gone up over 270% in the past year in pesos. Extremely tough.
