It was a very interesting drunken vent. It's too early to worry, though. You still have your most productive years in front of you, you can make many more mistakes, with relationships (they tend to be more expensive), and without. You can get on the property ladder in your 40s and 50s, if you...

Our experiences with Airbnb seem to be very different, I would say 90% of my dealings with Airbnb hosts over the past 5 years have been with property managers. And where they're not property managers they're investment properties (e.g. the very nice apartment we stayed in in Encarnacion in...

Hahahaha I mean driving. It’s an awful roundabout, and to get across it you’re trying to force your way across 3 lanes on each side of nose to tail trucks thundering up and down the Panamerican highway. 5 mins if you’re suicidal

LATAM are good in the air, the Chilean part of the operation seems to have mostly ex-airforce pilots who know what they're doing. They have a good safety record, in spite of there being some really big rocks in the clouds where they fly. They do seem to be getting less careful, though, they had...

Do please post your LATAM experience to the Facebook group "LATAM Airlines Suck". The more, the better

Did you try to contact any of the ML sellers directly? Or look up their information? Ar least some of them will have physical shops, and some will also deliver against COD. Just checking briefly, I found one of them with a shop right in the centre of BA: https://www.grapesmarket.com.ar/ No idea...

when are you planning to come? The recommendations for summer and winter holiday time, and low season, would be very different. Aer you planning to have a car here?

Thanks for your lengthy response, I'm very interested in understanding this topic. I don't actually remember the Macri tax amnesty, since I arrived in Argentina in late 2017, so I did what any engineer would do, and I started searching. I came up with this, I don't know if you'd consider it a...

Seems like a sensible prioritization of concerns.. I've been curious about something, it doesn't have anything directly to do with the discussion here, but since you have friends in Spain maybe you have some insight: as you say, many Argentinians have migrated to Spain, and I've heard that...

You're confident that they're leaving Canada because it's becoming more socialist? And Mexico is what, exactly? Its president is described as "center-left, progressive, populist, and economic nationalist", In parallel with this, it seems US Americans are leaving the US, and they're going to...

How much of the economy operates, and is affected by using the official Dollar exchange rate? Given that we have the free-market Blue Dollar rate, and (I read) up to 17 managed rates like the CCL, MEP, Qatar, Soya, Wine Dollars and so on, which are in varying degrees closer to the Blue Dollar...

Maybe you could explain what you mean by "far left"? I'd understand it to mean state ownership of production, collectivization, restrictions on individual liberty, restrictions on the expression of political views... Compared with that vision, "Fernandez/CFK" would seem to be much closer to a...

Hi, I'm in a bit of a pickle. I need to bring in USD cash Legally (for paper trail for escribano) but I don't know how. I called up https://www.puentenet.com/ and one other capital markets company and they both said they only do transfers to bank account only. Of course , seller only wants...

I'm not American (maybe the sentence I wrote about my prime minister being a doctor was a giveaway), I don't listen to this "talk radio" stuff and I'm really not that familiar with the characters involved. Even when I was in the US I preferred to listen to Puerto Rican music on the car radio...

Your lack of honesty becomes apparent rather quickly, doesn't it? I never claimed to know more than the leading cardiologist, so kindly point out where I made such a claim. Your tendency to create strawman arguments and resort to ad-hominem attacks rather than engaging with the factual arguments...
