Sounds about right. Prices here are higher compared to Spain. Where I feel it the most is dining out.

It turns out a Trump victory was very good for Argentina and Milei. USA is Argentina's best friend now. It is good to see Milei grew some balls and has a bit of independence, especially with China. All of you that posted how it was a waste of time to go to the USA so often in his campaign can...

That is so funny about the daughter In high school and the selfies. I just took a look at his X account. I didn't know men posting selfies of themselves drinking milk was a thing! Seriously is it? Is he gay? Not that there is anything wrong with it. But I seems like gay vibes which might be...

But the problem in Argentina is that laziness does NOT make them more efficient. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Judging by some of the posts I just read you may be getting your wish come true @Che Vos

March and April this year were utterly ridiculous, a feriado every week. My coworking closes and I work to do. Why not scrap feriados and mandate companies give more holiday time to employees? Business don’t have to close operations and workers still get the same holiday.

Let's hope the 2nd half of the year Milei does some good things and the economy improves. https://www.batimes.com.ar/news/op-ed/and-so-it-begins.phtml

See that Milei picked up another semi-dodgy prize in Germany. To all of you Milei supporters that think it's ok to go around the world and accept all these awards. How many is enough? How often should he be doing this? Doesn't Argentina have enough problems going on now to solve? It sounds...

The world all over just seems to have changed in the past few years. People are all more angry than before. So much conflict and disputes. Immigration problems all over. There is also a big separation of people that have money and people that don't.

I met up with an American that has been living in Buenos Aires the past 15 months. It was an acquaintance of a friend. He did not speak Spanish at all but he claims that he ordered something from the USA and his mom sent it via the post office and it was just a book and worth almost nothing...

Yes if they keep up with these increases one would have to assume many will just cancel their plans. At a certain point you reach a tipping point where they will get cancellations but maybe that is their goal?

Funny you mention this. Just last night I saw a car parallel parking in Soho and there was a really tight spot. There was a car behind that had a lot of room in front of it and the guy wedged his car in and was bumping on the bumper ahead and kept pushing the car. I don't know if that causes...

I just talked to one of my friends that told me their healthcare bill went up almost 40% in January and it's going up 31% in February. That seems crazy to me.

Thanks for the recap!

Totally correct. It is funny people are celebrating but I think half the time journalists talk about Argentina or pretend to understand it, most of them probably have never set foot in the country or understand what is going on here.
