    Milei’s Inflation Miracle Distorted by Obsolete Items in Index

    A joke. In August 2024 the government said the inflation methodology was changing and it was a finished issue. Now they say "we need to wait for the disinflation process to consolidate before they can change the measurement methodology. This is straight up out of the K playbook.

    Favorite neighborhoods for Expats to live in Buenos Aires? With the best vibe and characteristics for me?

    Poor @Jenn would never make it here in the summer if she is allergic. I can't go without AC on non stop in the summer. Too hot and too humid. It is miserable in January and probably why everyone is outside of the city and takes the entire month off!

    Better grab the bag while he can. With the labor reform coming sounds like those will largely go away so probably won't get one in his next job. Good on him.

    trump vs venezuela

    Speaking of Trump I saw this online and thought it was fake. This Presidency is like a cartoon. Are there any adults in the room? Reminds me of periods of Biden when no one was willing to speak out how he was sick. How can people around Trump watch all of this happening and do nothing? Never...
