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

    Interesting. Thanks for sharing. I never heard of this. The exchange rate policy sounds identical to what they are doing now. Time will tell if this works. USD inflation the past few months have been tremendous. I'm sure other expats are feeling the crunch too.

    Poverty has no limit in Argentina

    Another study came out from Di Tella University in Argentina. They say poverty in Argentina dropped to 48.6% in the third quarter of 2024. Between April and September, poverty stood at 49.7%. In January, it was at 57.4%. So indeed this sounds like things are working.

    Is crime getting worse? Is safety getting more complicated during this recession?

    The Kukas aren't scared anymore which is a dangerous thing. They vandalized a car at an event Karina Milei was at.

    Messi's house in Miami vandalized by environmental activists

    Let's see if these people are arrested. They should make them repaint his house personally and pay for it too. These groups vandalized Stonehenge too.

    Official Thread on Corruption in Argentina - Milei Administration Cleaning up house

    I'm sure he won't be the last to go to prison.

    Apartment Rental Neighborhood by neighborhood: how much does it cost to rent a two-bedroom apartment in CABA - Infobae

    To be fair it's not easy to get a long-term rental for these prices for expats without a co-signer guarantor. I find the process frustrating here to find long term rentals at these prices.

    Why is Argentina becoming a 'great friend' of Israel amid its war crimes in Gaza?

    Very true. They have hated Argentina far before Milei! But I'm sure the close relationship doesn't help.

    Alberto Fernández a wife beater?

    I just read that Alberto threatened suicide. Not sure if it's true or not. I can imagine if he goes down he probably has a lot of knowledge of CFK corruption so he will probably use her to save him.

    Why is Argentina becoming a 'great friend' of Israel amid its war crimes in Gaza?

    I hope nothing happens here in Argentina. Argentina would have been one of the safest areas but with Milei constantly talking about Israel it might open it up to attacks.

    Looks gimmicky but could be fun for young kids.

    Food & Drink The Bistecca - A Great Experience

    I have been here a few times. It's decent but can be hit or miss depending on when you go. The weekends are totally packed so keep that in mind. I went not too long ago and it was 75,000 pesos for the 2 of us but that was with drinks too which aren't included on the bill. They have great cold...

    10 minute microwave flan

    Don't do it @FuturoBA. I have tried these type of microwave recipes. They are never as easy as Tik Tok makes it seem. I haven't tried flan but I did try a cake like your tutor and mine also exploded and took me a while to clean up my microwave. My mom taught me anything worth making is worth...

    Argentina's industrial output, construction plunge amid recession

    @Avocado where does your 250,000 figure come from? This article says about 144,000 private sector jobs were lost in the past 8 months. https://buenosairesherald.com/business/as-argentinas-recession-deepens-businesses-make-over-38000-crisis-filings

    Argentina in the Copa America - Will they go all the way to Champions again?

    At least Enzo apologized for it. Of course most people probably won't admit when there is racism. There is plenty of racism in the USA against blacks and other minorities. If you try to point this out with some Americans they will be quick to say that a black President was elected and racism...

    Economy Will Clothing Prices Drop?

    Agreed! I got my iphone stolen and really needed a new phone but I just bought a cheapo phone here until I got back to the States. Clothes here is crazy! Low quality and priced like it's some great name brand in the States. @Jakoval correct about the basic cheapo Zara shirt here and being so...

    Argentina in the Copa America - Will they go all the way to Champions again?

    Argentines have a reputation for being racist against black people. The players were absolutely ignorant to live stream that. In this day and age of woke, you can lose a lot of sponsors with this sort of thing. Of course he apologised but makes you question his IQ doing something like that...

    Does anyone else find it strange Argentina still thinks they won the Falklands War?

    Happy Independence Day to Argentina. I know Argentina lost the battle but I saw some veteran's today at the parade. Nice to salute them. Vet's in the parade today.

    Tank poses, gifts and a toast – Milei’s Independence Day military parade

    I saw the ceremony on TV and how wonderful they were able to do this. I was amazed how many thousands of soldiers participated in the celebration.

    How much does a retail employee earn in July 2024 in Buenos Aires?

    I'm sure it wouldn't be difficult to get a job where people would hire you for free. :ROFLMAO:
