    Food & Drink Pizza Restaurants in Buenos Aires - What are some of your favorite pizza places in Buenos Aires, Argentina?

    Post was deleted, but that is called 'Matambre a la pizza' which could also be called 'Matambre a la napolitana' since for example 'Milanesa a la napolitana' has cheese on top. To be fair meat and cheese exists in burgers so is not a rare thing.

    What happens if Argentina gets too expensive? What are alternative cities/countries to move to when it's overpriced in Argentina?

    Salmon is expensive though. Maybe a fancy restaurant, 'bodegones' are cheaper and the portions are giant.

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

    This dates way before AF's mandate. This all started 20 years ago with syndicalists acting as middle-man between government's food banks and people in need. People like Grabois, Beliboni and Persico won millions by being the middle-man and re-selling some of the food or creating fake food...

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

    Nobody is talking about the thousands of kilos of yerba mate that expired in 2022. Something fishy happened here, how Grabois knew about this and why Petovello was misinformed by Pablo de La Torre?. Food is being distributed now and I'm pretty sure if someone digs further on how the previous...

    President Javier Milei gets the highest approval rating of ANY President in the history of Argentina

    It's interesting Cristina's 20% as well. She always been around 35% and it looks like Milei stole a big portion of her followers specially the low class people that would usually follow her no matter what.

    Politics Milei meets with the most important figures in the technology sector

    To be fair it wasn't De La Rua's fault (entirely): In Argentina whenever a non-peronist political party wins the elections the Peronists will do everything in their power to debilitate the government. Something similar happened with Macri and the same thing now with Milei. The difference is...

    Argentina's Milei pledges 'significant' tax cuts if congress approves reforms

    It will go out sooner or later. Even some articles from the fiscal law were approved by Kirchneristas in the congress. The senate is getting tricky, they are trying to delay it but all the governors and the citizens in general want these laws to go out. If the opposition keeps putting obstacles...

    Economy Monotributo, Profits and Personal Assets: everything you need to know about the project presented by the government - Infobae

    Because of Argentina's eternal inflation and past governments slowness/incompetency is the reason why people need do everything with cash to avoid ridiculous taxation. 35% of taxes just for 1000US$ per month is nonsense.

    Real Estate News A fourth bank joins the offer of new mortgage loans: Which one is it? - Infobae

    Yeah, it's just that in Argentina you can not make plans beyond 4 years. If the left wing goes back after Milei's mandate the inflation will go to the sky and beyond.

    Real Estate Sales Where is the real estate project in which you can buy brand new apartments financed for four years - La Nacion Propiedades

    This is interesting. I looked in Google Maps the buildings they've finished in Caballito and they look solid.

    Real Estate News A fourth bank joins the offer of new mortgage loans: Which one is it? - Infobae

    20 / 30 years credits doesn't make sense in Argentina, I'd only get a credit that I can pay in 4 years.

    Apple Pay at Coto?

    I guess showing a photo of the passport should do? I'm an Argentinean living abroad but I visited BA last month, at the self checkout in Jumbo and Carrefour you need to input your DNI... I always put "22222" because I don't want them to cross reference data with AFIP XD

    Politics Could Cristina Kirchner finally go to prison? Without political immunity, she could be incarcerated

    Unless we could call a 'prison' his mansion in Calafate XD

    Economy Monotributo, Profits and Personal Assets: everything you need to know about the project presented by the government - Infobae

    Pay attention to the changes in 'monotributo' (simplified tax system): As of today if you are a freelancer with monotributo an put more than ~1000 US$ monthly in your bank account you are subject to pay income tax (~35%). With these changes you can still remain in the monotributo and get a max...

    What happens if Argentina gets too expensive? What are alternative cities/countries to move to when it's overpriced in Argentina?

    The real deal is to make friends with someone that knows how to make a good Asado. The experience beats by far anything you can get on an up-scale restaurant or 'bodegon'. 😋

    Does it still make sense to retire in Buenos Aires on fixed income?

    Meat will always be cheap in Argentina. 1 kilo asado is around 6 US$ while here in Colombia a small piece of regular meat vacuum packed is like 20US$ ;(. Flying back to Argentina tomorrow, one of the top to-do things is to get a really nice asado. 😋

    Is it normal for a property owner to insist on buyers to pay with CASH $100 US Dollar bills for an apartment purchase in Buenos Aires?

    Previous goverment's tax agents used to go to micro-centro and close some 'cuevas'. Yesterday the president said that the Blue dollar is not illegal. There's a big change happening in Argentina, it may be hard to see now, but it is happening.
