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

    I don't care what anyone says. This guy has some serious mental issues. Forget about being on the spectrum.

    Messi Meets With Trump, and Divides Argentina: NYT

    Why do people care what a sports star thinks. It's not just you should vote for someone if a sports star likes them. That is stupid. Like Taylor Swift thinking she influences elections. No one really cares. She is proof of that.

    For Sale [INVESTMENT] $8,500 Scenic Plot in Córdoba Sierras - 350sqm - Near Route E-53 - USDT Accepted

    What is that no construction zone? It means they can never build there? They say that in the US too UNTIL a greedy developer buys off politicians and then it suddenly gets developed.

    Milei Hunts for Over $250 Billion That Argentines Have Hidden in Secret Stashes

    I'm one of those guilty as charged. I have a big storage unit I'm paying $250/month on. But I have an excuse because my lease ended and I moved to Spain and my parents wouldn't store my stuff. Why? They have too much junk of their own. So Avocado's stereotype of Americans at least for me is...

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

    Well it's obvious to anyone with half a brain that he was lying. It's obvious that his sister is a scammer. So if all of this is a lie why in the world would anyone believe anything he has to say? I don't get it. Are people this blind? The guy and his sister got busted. This isn't even a debate.

    Did many expats move out of Buenos Aires due to the higher cost of living?

    Hi everyone. I just saw this Cost of Living comparison online for Argentina. I thought Argentina was getting expensive. Is this accurate?

    Buenos Aires finally dealing with dog poop problem from people not picking up

    This is great to hear! But I still don't understand why this issue is more of a problem in Buenos Aires than anywhere else in the world?

    CGT Strike to cost Argentina $489 Million USD

    Doesn't look like a fun place to visit right now. My friend's flight was just cancelled. I guess they are all on strike a few days.

    Most Luxurious Rental in Buenos Aires - Limitless Palermo Hollywood

    Wow! I love it. I can't take my eyes off the Airbnb photos. Is the place as good as the photos? I love that rooftop!

    Medical Clinic recommendation to get STD (sexually transmitted disease) and STI (sexually transmitted infection) blood testing?

    Gross. My friend just got pregnant here in a hookup a few weeks ago. Poor guy. She is keeping it. That is going to end up being one expensive hook up. At least his parents are filthy rich.

    Decline in birth rates in Argentina

    I know how you feel @Digital Nomad. I got laid off on Tuesday. I've been trying to find another remote gig but seems like the market all of a sudden just died for remote jobs. All my friends working remote are getting called back or just got a notice they are laid off. What is going on??

    Newcomer Mosquitoes in Buenos Aires during the summer?

    I just got this in some BA newsletter today. Looks like my decision to skip out on Buenos Aires was a good one. If it's not black outs or dog poop all over it's bug invasions...

    Sounds like the government is planning for a lot of power blackouts this summer

    Doesn't sound like the problem has gotten any better. BA? No thanks. Impossible for digital nomad if power is going down so much. https://strategicenergy.eu/buenos-aires-blackout-exposes-lack-of-high-voltage-grid-investment/

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

    Wrong. I never came to Buenos Aires. I cancelled and changed my ticket a few times. There was a mosquito invasion the first trip and I'm severely allergic to mosquito bites. Then another time all my expat friends already left Buenos Aires because they said it was too expensive and the power...
