    Argentina's debt to the IMF grows 36% in a year under Milei and exceeds US$57 billion

    I agree about Milei and his sister and have said so many times. So has everybody else here. Cristina deserves a lot worse than an ankle bracelet. She is a major kleptocrat and a symbol of all that is wrong with Latin American politics, I cannot believe that some people still revere her.

    Some companies would see that as a positive :)

    Argentina's debt to the IMF grows 36% in a year under Milei and exceeds US$57 billion

    We've been over this before, Avocado. Everyone here has been plenty critical of Milei, but I've yet to hear you say anything bad about the Kirchner's.

    Has Argentina become a better place to move as a retiree under Milei or worse? Should I move?

    No doubt. Everyone knows to use bottled water and avoid salads. But it somehow gets into foods like burgers and pizza and nobody's figured out how to avoid it.

    Argentina's debt to the IMF grows 36% in a year under Milei and exceeds US$57 billion

    I'm not sure Eduardo. The problem with digging such a deep economic hole is that you reach a point where every decision you face involves terrible tradeoffs. My only observation since Milei got elected was that he would need to push as many economic reforms through as possible before voters...

    Has Argentina become a better place to move as a retiree under Milei or worse? Should I move?

    As a visitor my dis on Mexico is the drinking water. So many vacations have been ruined by it. Last year it even marred a high-level pro tennis tournament, which is crazy given all the precautions the organizers and players take to prevent that sort of thing.

    Javier Milei’s inflation ‘miracle’ in Argentina is a warning to the world, not a blueprint

    Outside of Argentina, Milei's fall from hero started with Libra and has been more of a downward trajectory with every new scam vs an overnight plunge

    Argentina's debt to the IMF grows 36% in a year under Milei and exceeds US$57 billion

    I mean no disrespect but it's been in the news for ages. Argentina borrowed another $20B from the IMF last year, roughly half upfront and the rest over 4 years. Argentina has a serious liquidity problem (i.e. debts coming due) and whether you like Milei or not, it has nothing to do with his...

    Banking Getting dollars into Argentina to purchase real estate

    You have to show it each time but it's every six months in our case, and in any case it's just a bank statement

    The Delusion Behind “America Is the Greatest Country on Earth” A deep dive into the question: If America is so great, why

    Amen Mike. If you've lived in California or Texas long enough you've heard plenty of these stories. I'm guessing CP is trying to make a buck off this 'America in decline' genre, maybe it plays with a certain expat crowd, makes them feel better or something. I was in a bar in Recoleta next to a...

    The Delusion Behind “America Is the Greatest Country on Earth” A deep dive into the question: If America is so great, why

    A hypocrite calling out others for hypocrisy is often a self-serving mechanism designed to boost one’s own moral superiority, create a deflection, or mask similar behaviors. This act, which is essentially the "pot calling the kettle black," can be motivated by a subconscious need for power or a...

    The Delusion Behind “America Is the Greatest Country on Earth” A deep dive into the question: If America is so great, why

    Read it long before you did. So you moved to Argentina?? You were repelled by the occasional volatility of US politics, yet somehow feel completely at home amidst Argentina's chaos and insanity? What the hell kind of argument is that. You can live a good life in many many countries around...

    You Didn’t Move Abroad—You Brought the Problem With You

    Wish I could live in your fantasy world where AI searches are considered evidence. Unfortunately having a business, savings and a family to look after keeps me firmly rooted in reality. p.s. I am an expat, just a different one than most on this forum
