    Skype Is Shutting Down – Best Alternatives?

    This looks like it could work! I also looked at Zkypee.com and got this email so it sounds like they are working on some features to port your Skype number if you don't want to change. Might be an option for you @GlasgowJohn or others if you want to keep your same number. It also looks like...

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

    It is great to see the dollar finally moving up! I am confused because I read Caputo said there will be an exchange rate policy change. What does this mean? I guess that is why the markets jumped up. No one knows. I wonder if the IMF will make them just float their currency? Government...

    Patience is wearing down with President Milei

    Feel the same thing. Most of the people I know do want him to succeed but they are losing hope that he will. I don't know anything about politics but they say he can't make any big moves anymore until the elections and the opposition will keep chipping away at him. I don't understand why he is...

    Newcomer Power cuts this summer

    But I don't think that they have taken any of the money to improve the infrastructure. The system was deteriorating from what I heard. The only difference is the government is stop paying the companies and people have to now. Improvements will probably come with time.

    Got a job offer to relocate to Buenos Aires - Worth it with 3 children? What budget would I need?

    What other countries have you lived in? What was the second runner up for scams? What are things you like about Argentina? Come on but you have to take some blame on this. Like how can you blame someone when you agreed to pay the rent? How is that a scam if you agreed with the price. No one put...

    Argentina and the IMF: Can This Marriage Be Saved?

    The rug pull to Milei's millions of followers probably didn't help. Now he is illegally trying to put people on the Supreme Court. Doubt any of these things are helping his cause at all.

    Argentine Leader Draws Fire After Cratering of Crypto Coin He Promoted - New York Times

    I just read that he is illegally trying to appoint shady Supreme Court nominees without going through Congress. And the nominee is very shady. Things sound like they are deteriorating quickly for Milei. Almost everything I see in the press is negative about him now. Things sure went off...

    Argentina sees sharpest drop in beef consumption for 30 years!

    Wow being a vegetarian in Argentina is drastic. What made you want to switch? Just for health reasons? My friend switched to eliminating beef and it has made a big difference in his health.

    Seeking Help: Doubts and Fears Before Starting Therapy

    It doesn't make sense to get anything therapy related done in the USA. You are paying for all those "Better Help" commercials and advertising. Buenos Aires has a ton of therapists. Ask any local friend in BA and odds are they can refer you to someone. Lots and lots of good therapists in BA. I...
