    Inflation Is Falling, But Argentines 'Are Not Yet Better Off': Milei's Gamble Under Fire

    It'll continue to drop in April. This inflation drop is something rarely seen in Arg. But also a lot of taxes need to be removed once the govt puts the central bank in shape. This will allow restaurants to have less tax pressure hence reduce costs.

    From Villa Urquiza to Washington: The tale behind Milei’s chainsaw gift for Elon Musk

    CFK has to ask for permission. A few days ago she went to visit Mujica in Uruguay on a private flight, US$ 5000 for a 30 minutes flight paid with public funds (whether money from retirment or money that justice proved that she stole from public funds) Alberto Fernandez doesn't have permission...

    From Villa Urquiza to Washington: The tale behind Milei’s chainsaw gift for Elon Musk

    If it'd have been proved that Milei stole money somehow because of a Tweet then he wouldn't be able to leave the country. But he's in Washington. Guess who is not allowed to leave the country without permission from court?

    Argentina is not expensive in US$, is expensive in TAXES.

    Some taxes and regulations have to pass congress in order to be removed. Milei is dismantling a time bomb.

    Everything got more expensive all over the world beyond inflation rates

    I don't want to politicize this, it is a global phenomenon that is hard to understand. I agree with @earlyretirement that world economics got really messed up after COVID: Before COVID prices were stable world-wide overall. During COVID governments started printing more money thus generating...

    Everything got more expensive all over the world beyond inflation rates

    I have the feeling that things got really expensive world-wide way beyond inflation rates. In Colombia is pretty easy to spend 100 bucks in groceries for the week. During my trip to Europe it felt kind of the same. Have you been travelling to other countries and had the same feeling about things...

    How can the food here be so bad ?

    And for restaurants fire grilling is much better than slow cooking, that flank steak took 3 hours too cook, you can not rush it. So I guess that's why US steak houses are better and Bodegones are failing.

    How can the food here be so bad ?

    I never ate good meat in bodegones. but a good asado at someone's house will beat any US Steakhouse. We are talking about meat quality: AFAIK US and ARG are pretty similar in quality as long as its grass-fed but not all countries have good meat. Besides quality is all about the cooking:
