    Milei - Time magazine

    It is remarkable what Bukele has done there. I have several friends in El Salvador and they tell me it was very dangerous before but their President totally turned that country around.

    Argentina Court Orders Milei to distribute held up food to the poor

    It’s amazing that people don’t put an end to it for so long. If Milei didn’t win it sounds like it would just continue. Hopefully they uncover all the scams. But maybe he will have to allow some. If he doesn’t seem like the type that will allow things once he finds out.

    Welcome to this forum. That is freaky what they are doing.

    Argentina Court Orders Milei to distribute held up food to the poor

    But at this scale wouldn’t the past Presidents and their administrations have to know about it? It seems like impossible for this kind of fraud to go on without knowledge. Is it just kick backs and bribes all the way up? Scary.

    Help! My tourist extension visa was denied today

    True. Same in the States now. We are flooded with illegal immigrants. It is puzzling this past year why the government is allowing so many when most municipalities are already so drained.

    I agree. Not sure what the fascination is lately with Argentina’s racial make up.

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

    This is why they are all fighting for the Falklands. Hopefully it doesn’t cause serious conflict. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/05/13/russian-oil-discovery-british-antarctic-falklands-argentina/

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

    Agree people all around the world have a chicken little mindset. Although I feel very lucky to have sold off my bitcoin portfolio at $71,000. It hit $58,000 today just a few weeks later.

    AA has been losing tons of money every year right? Doubt they will want that.

    Now Argentina want to join NATO as a Global Partner!

    I agree with you. Probably needed the jets eventually but bad timing when Milei is so hung up with rhetoric about sending troops and help. Stay neutral! Yea about Perón. No country needs someone like that.

    Newcomer Wenance CEO arrested in Palermo accused of scam who owes $297 million in bad checks - Ponzi scheme still in 2024?

    The number is probably much higher than that. Many people probably haven’t reported it.

    Of maids and supermarkets.

    So you locals do pay less than us. 2400 seems low isn’t it? What do you see happening with wages here in Argentina @GlasgowJohn? Don’t they need to go way up?
