    Newcomer Mosquitoes in Buenos Aires during the summer?

    The first case of locally transmitted dengue has been detected here, so we need to be cautious and stock up on repellent. Otherwise, people will panic and buy in large quantities, leading to shortages. It’s better to take the necessary precautions calmly now; we just need to be careful...

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

    Another scheme comes to an end; the Milei era is auditing everything, including unnecessary spending at the INCAA (National Institute of Cinema). It’s a waste of resources, funding movies that nobody watches...

    Politics The Government advances with the project to lower imputability to 14 years of age and the focus is on what to do with convicted minors - Infobae

    I hope this project gets approved. Here in Argentina, criminals are getting younger and younger. Look at this 11-year-old boy, he's already been arrested four times this year...

    Transport Strike to paralyze Argentina in repudiation of taxation reforms - 2024

    Poverty has no limit in Argentina

    I'm glad that many unions are now earning salaries above 1,200,000. It’s really impossible to live on less than that amount. It’s good to see these increases; it seems that wages are finally starting to adjust, though, unfortunately, there are still those working without proper registration.

    Is crime getting worse? Is safety getting more complicated during this recession?

    Buenos Aires, like many major cities, has safer areas and some that may be a bit more problematic. Overall, it's important to stay aware and take precautions, but it's not an inherently unsafe city. Cell phone thefts, for example, are isolated incidents and do not represent the norm. Most people...

    AFIP to ARCA: Milei government announces ‘dissolution’ of tax bureau

    Economy Goodbye to Traffic Camera Fines?

    A bill was introduced to eliminate speeding cameras, they're just a tool for collecting money, another scam that could finally end. I hope the proposal gets approved.

    Newcomer Black Friday in Argentina

    In a few days, Cyber Monday will take place here, promising discounts of up to 50%, from November 4th to 6th. I recommend checking the prices of the items you want to buy now, so you can compare them during those days. I know there are good deals, but you need to look carefully because some...

    Politics Having single-digit inflation is a good start

    Thanks to his control over inflation and its decline, Luis Caputo will be awarded this Wednesday in the United States as the Minister of Economy of the Year. In terms of inflation, there has been substantial progress. The month-to-month measurement is 3.5% compared to 25% at the beginning of...

    AFIP to ARCA: Milei government announces ‘dissolution’ of tax bureau

    Finally, someone is addressing the AFIP! Instead of solving people's problems, they always make things more complicated. It’s true that the salaries there are outrageously high and don’t match the work they do, plus they’re not even friendly. Dealing with any paperwork there is always a headache.

    Newcomer Christmas in Buenos Aires

    Everything definitely slows down during that time. For those of us who live here, it's great. A lot of people head to the coast during those dates, so there aren’t as many crowds, but everything remains open.
