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

    But you gotta pay the bills. You speak as if capitalist thinking is a bad thing. Unfortunately most people need to fund their life not just for today or tomorrow but for the next few decades. There are only so many countries where there is good potential for that. What are your favorite...

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

    You don't need ChatGPT on this one fella. The United States is the best damn country in the world. I did leave it but only because my social security payments don't allow me to afford to retire there. It's not a perfect place but more perfect than other alternatives.

    Newcomer Question about Villa 31

    Actually there are tours they do through Villa 31. They do food tours now. It's organized by the members of the community. I guess how they do tours in favelas in Rio. They have a police escort! https://www.instagram.com/ajayu.turismocomunitario

    Argentina Missed Early Window to Sell Bonds, Investors Say (Bloomberg)

    There is NO reason why the government should have the President's sister or anyone that doesn't speak English speaking to investors on Wall Street. I can't understand the logic of this at all. Also they should know there is more scrutiny on them now vs. others. You can't market yourself as...

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

    Interesting that the author of The Bitcoin Standard is so down on Milei. I did not see that before. Thank you for sharing. I would agree that inflation is higher than what the government claims. But governments have been lying about that in Argentina for a long time. They have a big...

    What happens if Argentina gets too expensive? What are alternative cities/countries to move to when it's overpriced in Argentina?
