    The chances of the Argentine economy falling into recession already reach 99%, according to Di Tella University

    In speaking to people it matches what this poll says. People don't want to go back to the past (the half that voted for Milei) but 67% of everyone said that things are very bad now...

    CGT Strike to cost Argentina $489 Million USD

    I just saw this graphic. How did Alberto have 0 strikes? Was it because COVID for 2 years kept everything closed?

    Beijing break-up: Trump wants China out of Argentina. Could Milei afford it?

    It is why Argentina can't get ahead. No one can trust anyone. Imagine if they put in jail all the businessmen or politicians that got caught stealing. There would be no room to house anyone. Milei even said last week that tax evasion isn't a crime. Argentina is such a low trust society. I...

    Rapid collapse of birth rates in Argentina and South America

    Wow I had no idea. Is it really true Yale has more administrative vs. students? How can that be? I didn't know tuitions were this high! They are really rich to talk about social justice when they are charging these kind of fees. I am not sure I could stomach that kind of tuition bill! NYU back...

    Any recommendations for a Breast biopsy?

    Hi everyone, I’m feeling quite anxious and would really appreciate your thoughts and advice. I need to have a breast biopsy done. I usually go to CERIM for my annual mammograms and ultrasounds, and I’ve always trusted them, especially since my OB-GYN refers to them as a “reference clinic.” My...

    New Immigration Decree: What It Means for Foreigners in Argentina

    I heard the health insurance starts July 1 but I am not sure. I asked my immigration attorney, Lorena and she told me that the Decree is not retroactive so it's only for new people applying. It shouldn't change people already in the system. She had this to say about the DNU and her take was...

    Economy The 3 reasons that pushed the MEP dollar below $1,200 for the first time in four months - Infobae

    I think in many countries you can live cheap or live more expensive. In Argentina rents are still much cheaper than most places. If you don't eat out too much or travel around you can get by ok. I couldn't live in the States for what I spend in Argentina. Just depends on lifestyle. Many people...

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

    Not sure how his OSDE is so cheap. I'm paying way more than that just for my policy.

    Citizenship rejected!

    Yes unless you are from a country where your passport is extremely weak and you can't wait the 2 years maybe I could see in that case hiring a lawyer but if you already have the DNI and can travel on your own passport then why pay money to a lawyer? I do know that things in immigration are very...

    Do Buenos Aires expats easily get scammed and gullible?

    Smaller scams here happen every day. When I first moved to BA I found a painter through my neighbor. He did a great job on hers and she used him before over the years. He gave me a quote on mine and it was much more expensive than my neighbor. I found that out later. He asked for 50% up...
