    Newcomer Power cuts this summer

    The power is out in Colegiales the past few hours. Annoying.

    Argentina's Country Risk Index has dropped below 1,000 points

    Politics The Government unified the former ministries of Environment and Tourism and Sports into a single secretariat - Infobae

    Well those that Milei doesn't fire end up quitting. The 121st official to leave their post. Quite a lot for 13 months. https://www.batimes.com.ar/news/argentina/argentinas-top-environment-official-resigns-post.phtml

    Automotive How to get your driver's license in CABA...

    Correct. The only restriction on principaiantes for 2 years is 0 level limit on blood alcohol. Also not to drive on highways for 6 months but no one enforces that. It sounds like you do things by the book @Darksider415 and a great write up but most people skip this part of Apostille hassles and...

    Argentina sees sharpest drop in beef consumption for 30 years!

    I don't think that people will put up with a further increase of 10%! Prices have already gone up significantly this year. All my friends doing their weekly asados have cut back and doing it only once per month now. Very sad to see.

    Bloomberg - Argentina Takes Steps to Dollarize and Holds Key Rate

    Sellers are free to set prices based on what they think their product is worth and what they think customers are willing to pay for it. Buyers can choose which price they prefer to pay. For example: If a restaurant owner wants to charge dollars, they might price their empanada at $5 USD per...

    My life dream is to live in Palermo Hollywood

    Avoid! Sketchy area. I have a few friends that got mugged just at the bus station around there. Not a desirable area at all. If you go to Retiro around Arroyo is ideal. I don't care how the building is I would not want to be in that area. :ROFLMAO: Yes here is the view from the building.

    Banking What is going on with the Blue dollar? Why is it going down?

    Just expense! I own my apartment so I do not have a rental expense. The biggest expense is for the 24/7 security guards. I am trying to get all the owners to get rid of this. The building is in Palermo Chico and a very safe area. The building has a pool and small gym but the bulk of the...

    Aerolineas Argentinas cuts staff, routes, passenger perks ahead of possible sale

    I am not sure how good of an idea it is cutting out snacks. They just are like a discount airline now. I don't think it would cost too much to offer that and probably will lose customers. Doesn't seem smart to me.

    Banking What is going on with the Blue dollar? Why is it going down?

    I am not sure how the lower classes are making it. It is very expensive here now. My monthly condo bill is up to $600 dollars a month. It was going up by $100 a month for a few months. This is the first month it did not go up. This is not sustainable. We only have 50 units in our building and...

    Salaries increased by 4.6% in October 2024 and again outperformed inflation (2.7 %) for the 7th consecutive month, according to INDEC.

    I think it is good salaries are going up but what is the breaking point? Many business owners tell me that they are at the breaking point because they can't charge more and not making much money. Just worried that some will get laid off. Prices aren't going up as fast as before but they are...

    Medical Healthcare medical monthly premiums are going to get increased!

    Luigi and his family didn’t even use United so they weren’t the ones who denied him. No matter, you don’t kill someone because you don’t agree with their policies or else millions would be killed every day!

    One Direction Singer, Liam Payne commits suicide at the Casa Sur Hotel in Palermo Hollywood

    Sounds like that delay cost him his life. They found so many drugs in his system. It's a good lesson that you never know what drugs someone puts in something you are taking. Stay safe out there.

    Is buying a property and listing a fake price normal in Buenos Aires?

    I also know some purchases they check even if many years later. I spoke to a foreigner that also had something similar happen. The issue seems to be that locals are much better liars than foreigners. Foreigners have their heads wired to be scared when dealing with tax authorities and tax evasion...

    Thanks for posting this detailed info. I always read about the canasta basica but didn't know what exactly was in it.
