That is a sad trend but this is the same everywhere. Look here in Los Angeles or many major cities in the USA now and it has skyrocketed. Los Angeles has become depressing. They are all over. So while BA has increased, it's a small fraction of what we have here in most cities.

There are a lot of kooks in BA. Not only setting other people on fire but setting themselves on fire! https://elchorrillero.com/nota/2024/06/05/466412-un-hombre-se-prendio-fuego-frente-al-ministerio-publico-fiscal-me-persigue-la-policia/amp/

I just saw this online. How sad. Does anyone know the reason they are doing this?

I saw this post on X. Wow, This doesn't sound like that much food and $60 USD. Prices sure have gone up since last Fall.

I think President Milei is doing a lot of things right but this ain't one of them. I saw this old article online. I'm not sure what they mean by "providing assistance" or "military aid". Argentina doesn't have any money to send to other countries. This seems ridiculous to me. Milei went on...

I keep reading how guns are rare in Argentina and no one wants them but lately stuff is coming up in my feed like this. It seems like people do have guns there.

Jeeze that looks gross.

I also switched over. I had my posts deleted. That forum became an echo chamber and if the Moderator/owner didn't agree with a political post they would edit/delete it. That is just wrong. There have been a lot of complaints over the years if you look on X people have been complaining for many...

This seems like good news for the Universities and university hospitals. It seems like the government is making some wise choices lately with halting further utility increases, healthcare premium freezes and now this...

What's not to like about the guy? Nothing he is doing is a surprise to anyone. The only surprise for some is that he could sing. :P

Your laughing but Canada is proposing exit taxes! And our Governor today said California might do the same!

I am just curious. What are all of you using ATM's for? Is this for billpayment or something? I never use ATM's there and I have been going a while. I was so happy they would be introducing the larger bills so disappointed to see the delay.

I was just there in March. I am not sure about Florida but here in LA it is wicked expensive. Here on the West Coast our prices are much higher vs. East Coast I am sure. We have all kinds of whacky taxes and fees here. It is obscene.

I can promise you that shopping at the supermarket in the States is MUCH more expensive vs. Argentina. Even with the recent inflation. Every time I go to BA it feels like it is very affordable minus a few things that might be comparable. Granted not as wide a selection but anything I need. I...

Yes! Someone was filming while mine got stolen. They called 911 but the thieves pulled up in a stolen truck with an electric hacksaw. In less than 3 minutes they were gone.

Funny we were posting at the same time. I just saw your post and I just posted at the same time about this theft. I had mine stolen during the middle of the day while I was eating lunch. It happens so quick even if someone calls the police by the time they get there, it's all done. People are...

I saw the same thing on AP today (below). I was curious after being a sex workers for so many years what made the government hire her to be in the Foreign Ministry office? https://apnews.com/article/argentina-milei-lgbtq-rights-d75a798ed804ba02e3d3d7abff3fce11

Argentina never has gotten much tourism from African Americans. I have been going down for 20 years and almost never see any. I just say that as a statement of fact.

Yes this is a big problem in California. We have a lot of thieves stealing catalytic converters. You can't park many cars outside at night. The thieves steal them very quickly. People mistakenly think everything is peachy keen in the States but that is far from the case in many areas.

Based on what many friends have told me and my experiences buying real estate there many years ago, it's just about impossible to do everything legally in Argentina. Hopefully things change but I am told that overstaying is not an issue as it pertains to residency. I have many friends that...
