40% lower is probably about right without paying all the politicians off. :ROFLMAO:

You can really see the cut back on beef consumption. Frigorífico Pico, creator of the Paty brand: went from slaughtering 600 to 50 cattle per day, $30 billion pesos in debt, and 450 workers laid off. They have a collapse of more than 90% of activity. Not sure how a beef producing plant in...

Just checked their website. Wow they have a ton of different tests. Convenient for people that don't have medical insurance here.

Thanks great @Johnny! I need a place near there for my sister coming. Want her to be near me. What is the Airbnb link?

Anyone that has gone out to eat in BA at a nice restaurant knows how expensive things are. This exchange rate is fake. Yes inflation has gone down but it has not translated into any sort of true recovery. If things were good then interest rates would be lower but they are still sky high.

Wow terrible for Argentina. That is why I never believe Caputo or Milei when they say they are so close to a deal every day. They have been saying that for a year. Obviously there are huge differences still. And with the stunt Trump pulled to all these nations with tariffs, they might not...

I guess Argentina learned FAFO. Most Argentines act like if they had the Falklands things would be different. Delusional as usual.

Be careful if you're constantly overstaying. My friend went to do a border run just like he has done every few months over to Colonia. He is here on a tourist visa but has lived in Argentine since covid lockdown. He has paid a few times the overstay fee as he couldn't get out on time a few...

Agree with you @LyellLanatone. These staff members are not in the best mood and do feel resentment sometimes as a gringo. I think people were more patient before but feel like lately people are getting frustrated at the expensive prices. More aggressive and impatient. Customer service sucks...

2025 will probably be even worse with tourism. Government doesn't sound like Cepo will end any time soon. There are rumors of Milei getting frustrated with Caputo. Not sure if they are true or not. “December marked the seventh consecutive month of deficit in the current account of the BCRA's...

Actually it's slower during the winter months each year.

It's legal as long as there aren't any pimps involved. You can tell how bad the economy is. Just go to a website like ArgentinaXP or SoloIndependientes and the number of females grows each day.

Great news that they officially put up Aerolineas Argentina for sale. Taxpayers will finally be able to stop donating to their horrible management and operations.

No that was the price of Buenos Aires to USA but I just find the post office here horrible so avoid them now. Good info about the USA Embassy but just note that I have heard from several people who said their ballot never made it in time to their State. Not sure if there is mal intent there or...

@StatusNomadicus you're smart sending it via DHL. Last election I was here and send it via the Correo Argentina which is the postal system here. I even sent it express and added certified with tracking to make sure it got there. I sent it 2 months before the election and it never arrived. I...
