C'mon Uncle Wong, what kind of evidence is that :)

Oh boy, this is easier than it should be :)

I sure do appreciate the compliments :)

Okay just trying to be helpful here, when matching wits the goal is usually to disprove the other's point :)

Thanks! "Mexicans are the largest group of immigrants in the United States, accounting for about 23 percent of all 47.8 million foreign-born residents as of 2023." My eyesight is not what it used to be but pretty sure I saw the world million in there :)

Boy, you must be a real hoot at family gatherings :)

Maybe ask the many millions of people that risk life & limb to get here. It may have escaped your notice but in 2025 there was a change in immigration policy, making it pretty difficult to get into the US and really easy to leave. Before this, pretty much all the growth in the US labor force...

What a colossal pile of dung, I feel dumber for having read that

They should be laughing at Milei, such a stupid reaction and totally inconsistent with everything he's said and done. Reeks of desperation.

Agreed Mike. Argentina is becoming a roach motel, easy to get in but impossible to get out without chewing your arms and legs off.

Thanks Mike, that is very well written. I understand the populist reaction but seeing every politician try to take credit for it like Argentina just won the World Cup, it sends all the wrong signals.

Agreed, it's a short term win that Argentina needed given its cash flow/debt repayment problems. But I would not view this as a validation of Kiciloff at all, Argentina has already paid a high price for YPF and will continue to do so for many years into the future. If anything the stench of...

Agreed jbeas. I read that book when it came out and then the dozens of analyses that followed in the media. It definitely colored my worldview at the time. As I got older though and met people involved in those sorts of things, the general consensus was that it was filled with half-truths and...

C'mon Wally, he has the INTERNET. What have we got besides some real world experiences like living in border states and sanctuary cities through the Biden years, flying around the country in sanctuary planes, going through the US immigration process as the only person in your group that spoke a...

I believe we covered that topic :)

Don't be so hard on yourself, your opinions are valued

I haven't seen any recent price sheets so I'm not sure, but some of the appreciation we've experienced is due to buying into the project early vs. the market going up. I haven't looked at BA's real estate market since we bought 18 months ago, but even if prices are up 10% or even 25% since...

Oh man you're against me on this one too? We'll find some common ground somewhere, I won't give up on you :)

I've been to a lot of third world countries and met loads of expats, and without exception the ones in their 60s or 70s were largely/entirely dependent on their US social security checks. I don't begrudge anyone collecting SS because that's the system, even if my taxes pay for 5 or 10 of them...

Do you shout a lot in real life too or just online? Do you find all caps helps drive your point home or are you just attracted to big letters, stylistically speaking? I have so many questions..... :)
