    Miniso Arrives in Argentina and plans to open 100 stores across Argentina in the next 5 years

    Slowly but surely more companies are starting to come in. I think it's a good time for some places to pick up commercial real estate or lock in cheap leases with so many places closing. The Spanish company, Grimoldi which has Mango is opening its first store in Alto Palermo shopping mall. They...

    Oil really could hit $200 a barrel

    I am really surprised it is as low as it is with the disruption in Iran. Puzzles me that it is this low with oil being offline for so many days.

    2026 FIFA World Cup Boycott Fears Grow as Visa Bans and ICE Raids Slam U.S. Tourism

    I'm going to Boston June 23. I can't wait! I don't think they need to worry about anyone boycotting the World Cup. It's going to be popular. I was wondering if they would move locations for the Mexico matches but I figured it would be impossible to change at the last minute. It looks like...

    The USA inflation infex does not include food or energy prices

    Yes it is obvious it is all AI and not original thought. No comparison. My recommendation @Content Provider is pay the $20 fee to upgrade AI. :ROFLMAO:

    President Milei has now traveled 20% of his entire Presidency in other countries

    I know it is very difficult for some Argentines to understand this. Many understand the trips to the US and that has paid dividends. Many don't think he needs to travel but Craig is right. They will need some serious IMF help heading into the future. Tons and tons of liabilities coming up.

    The USA inflation infex does not include food or energy prices

    Moral foundations? Look at Biden and his family. His son was a degenerate liar/drug addict/ abuser. I think Trump is an idiot too. But that is besides the point. @Content Provider what were Harris's biggest platform promises that you were most excited about?

    Milei’s fiscal shock has changed Argentina’s destiny

    That is particularly outrageous to me. The Senators and Congress giving themselves juicy fat raises saying they can't live on less. the problem is that Milei is not a Libertarian. He wanted to blow up the Central Bank and now they are just dependent on the IMF and United States. He and his...

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

    I'm not sure you need more evidence. It's obvious what he did. I just don't think anyone wants to try to prosecute him but there is already the smoking gun.

    Very high electricity bill all of a sudden?

    Electricity is actually cheap in CABA compared to the rest of Argentina. Some provinces are really much more than CABA. Some over double. Look at this bill from Cordoba.

    Bloomberg: Argentina Inflation Sped Up for Fifth Straight Month in January

    I can feel an increase the past few weeks. It seems like some places are raising prices again gearing up for increasing inflation. I just saw that inflation was up 1.7% just in the first WEEK of March. Ouch.

    New wave of shutdowns and layoffs puts Argentine industry on alert

    Argentina just doesn't have any business manufacturing tires or many other things. Tires are much more expensive in Argentina vs just importing them. Why should millions of Argentines have to pay more just to employ some people and keep prices high. Look, let’s stop pretending this is a...
