Banking Credit Card real-world rate "MEP" transaction repo (Dec2023)

i never get the option; some US companies just ship USPS and tell you later. then it gets transferred to Correo :/
This happen many times when my daughter send to me the things to Argentina. Always ends up bad.
i hate the obsession with cheap "común" wall gas heaters
Be careful. Have detector for carbon monoxide poisoning. My friend died 5 years ago from this. Be very careful for this. My friend have monitor but did not work.

and they need to go away for years, because no one wants to reveal their wealth and then have the Kirchner kuka mafia come back and retroactively tax people for then-legal things. i get it! oppression leads to black markets and distrust.
Problem is even if they do down people not want to pay any tax. Difficult to pay lower when you are paying nothing. I can not hide my income because I work for clinic. I don't think black market ever go away in Argentina.
 
i put a bookmark tab with the item i want, name it the price in Pesos, and check every ~3 days. i've seen that same LG list for 1.2 million Pesos, a week after i got it for 931,710.21 Pesos (at a Santander MEP rate of 1,279.54 that day, or just under $729 USD for the unit to be delivered from CABA to Mendoza. this one, which uses the LG wifi app, and supposedly is the most efficient:

Sounds like my kind of shopper! I do the same thing when I want to buy stuff. I can't pass up a good deal!

"Juan Domingo Trump" was a communist last term, and will continue to be a warmonger protectionist Zionist communist this term. it's good to be in Argentina, sitting on crypto
Trump really has been a disappointment! Most people that I know that voted for him have fizzled out. He is destroying my 401K!

so mute me, dipshit. Lefties are so retarded because they view a different political opinion as violence. get fucked, commie, you vote for thieving mafias that ruin countries with protectionist theft, then come bitch at me for wanting Argentines to be free. you offer zero value here, spam your one-dimensional MILEI EVIL rants, and no one wants you here. Mute me, as i've muted you. and stop posting on my threads if you think i'm so stupid. bye, douche! love that you admitted you lie on your pension taxes, after scolding me for being a criminal or whatever the f*ck you and your retard-partner Avocado came up with. i still think you're useless after a year
Why do you guys fight so much? Seems crazy that two people can't disagree with each other without such hatred. I have seen that on a lot of X posts between people that are pro and anti Milei. Strange.

Seems like all of this end of cepo made things even more expensive. I guess hopefully it trades at 1400 but if so my friend there said inflation will just jump up so it won't really be a savings. Is there no hope of Argentina not getting affordable again??
