    President Milei has now traveled 20% of his entire Presidency in other countries

    Thank you Avocado. The short answer is that I hate it. It's awful that your government asks citizens to suffer while they steal. I also think it's very small-minded of them, but I saw the same thing in China when they were emerging after decades of communism. Even some of the successful...

    Thanks but I'll pass. I live in the real world.

    President Milei has now traveled 20% of his entire Presidency in other countries

    I'm sure it is very frustrating to see him gallivanting around the world while people are struggling at home. Just remember that Argentina has a lot of liabilities coming due the next few years and needs outside help to deal with it. Eliminating deficits was a great start but it does nothing...

    The USA inflation infex does not include food or energy prices

    AI queries produce some interesting stuff but in this case it's trying to compare apples and orangutans. The US economy vs Argentina is like comparing an obese patient to one with stage 4 leukemia. You also get wildly different results from different AI models and whether you're using the free...

    The USA inflation infex does not include food or energy prices

    That's exactly right Mike, I have similar stories and you had to live here to witness some of the insanity of the Biden years. The media tried to cover for him but voters knew better and the election was a blowout. 100%

    The USA inflation infex does not include food or energy prices

    That has been my experience as well. The Democratic Party used to care about people, now it's dominated by lunatics and non-contributors.

    The USA inflation infex does not include food or energy prices

    I appreciate you fellows wading into this. It's like talking to a wall when people view their political position as moral vs immoral. Very similar with the tax dodgers, and they're often one and the same. I know a fellow who owes the IRS a ton of money and refuses to pay his debts or even his...

    Well, just now I learned that your personality is a bit less flexible than the one you project through your writings

    The USA inflation infex does not include food or energy prices

    By the sounds of it I doubt we would agree on much so probably best not to argue about it online. Next visit to BA I'd happily buy you a beer and have a proper political discussion. I have friends all over the political map and learn a lot from those chats.

    The USA inflation infex does not include food or energy prices

    Ha! I hear you but I would still make the same choice all day long. Harris was a terrible candidate for President and Walz as her running mate just made it farcical. Neither of them had any business operating at that level of politics and leadership. The two of them together would have been...

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

    Which floor are you buying Johnny, just curious :)

    ‘All crimes in Buenos Aires have fallen,’ says City Mayor Macri

    I hope the city gets a handle on that before it's too late

    ‘All crimes in Buenos Aires have fallen,’ says City Mayor Macri

    As future property owners, law & order in Buenos Aires is really important. Real estate there costs a fraction what you'd pay in any other safe, cosmopolitan city around the world, but if you remove the safe part you enter a very different category. There's plenty of competition for cheap real...

    Argentina Banks -- Where is Customer Service?

    Wow. That will be a major problem for Argentina until they fix it somehow. In the US you will hear complaints about credit card charges like that Chase story last year, but messing with customer deposits is a huge no-no. Trudeau did it during the trucker strike in Canada and I doubt he had...

    Argentina Banks -- Where is Customer Service?

    Good lord that is terrible Mike. Trust in the banking system is so vital to a functioning economy. How on earth did Argentina dig such a massive hole for itself that this kind of nonsense happens at a major banking institution?

    What happens if Argentina gets too expensive? What are alternative cities/countries to move to when it's overpriced in Argentina?

    I have no doubt what folks are saying here but even if you doubled that budget it would be cheap compared to life in the US. Kids are so expensive here, especially teenage girls. Our monthly amazon bill alone is more than any item on his list.
