    Milei’s popularity plummets amid corruption scandal in Argentina

    Yes I do. On X too and every time he posts it's almost all negative. I guess his legions of fans are even embarrassed to post publicly to support him. This time last year it was all supporters cheering him on. The system is a disaster. The subway and trains are a disaster.

    New wave of shutdowns and layoffs puts Argentine industry on alert

    There are a lot of stories like this out there. I know a lot of people looking for jobs. I have a friend that always seems to be struggling for years but the first time in 5 years that she has had to come to me to get a loan. I didn't think twice and helped her but she was so ashamed to have...

    Argentine Cabinet Chief Francos resigns – Adorni takes over

    I saw that on X. I don't think they can push Adorni out. They are all in on the grifts. Maybe they are scared if they push Adorni out he could turn on them. It seems like they would take their chances just all going down together which is strange. In any other country they would have just...

    Argentina more Corrupt with Milei - In Milei's second year, Argentina worsened its rating in the world ranking that measures corruption

    It is sad that he did these things. He was Argentina's real chance to turn things around. Every day more stuff comes out. Now his chief of staff has some crazy story he he got $200,000 dollars in loans from police officers? This is crazy...

    A Russian tried to Challenge Milei's new law for Citizenship and Lost in Federal Court

    But weren't you married to a local? Is it different for you? Or does the 2 year window still come into play?

    The Delusion Behind “America Is the Greatest Country on Earth” A deep dive into the question: If America is so great, why

    🎯 Exactly. The other 0.0001% are the ultra wealthy just getting rid for tax reasons but none of us know that type. Founder of Facebook money. The numbers are very small. Very few will give up their American citizenship. I meet expats that talk like that. Even here in Argentina you run into...

    Mega Blanqueo Incoming in Argentina

    I read that and watching him on the news. No one in Argentina gives private financing to buy a property. It always cash. :ROFLMAO: There are very few ways Argentina is better than the US. Before we could joke it was much much cheaper. Now we can't even do that.

    Argentina more Corrupt with Milei - In Milei's second year, Argentina worsened its rating in the world ranking that measures corruption

    Can someone explain to me why they just don't make him quit? I don't understand what benefit they have keeping Adorni on as Cabinet Chief. What do they gain from keeping him on? Every day more stuff comes out. Seems stupid not to replace him already.

    Almost every interview people are all saying no one is buying in the store. I have seen many shuttered.

    Argentina's Milei pitches to Wall Street as investors reassess emerging markets

    Lots of smaller companies are having problem even making payroll. A few friends are owed back pay. The other side of "Argentina Week". https://www.letrap.com.ar/economia/el-lado-oscuro-la-argentina-week-las-pymes-no-pueden-pagar-sus-deudas-n5422508

    I guess this would be expected the government insiders would take the guaranteed money if they know. I doubt blocking out all of Argentina will stop them.
