    Newcomer Buying a property in Argentina

    Newcomer Amazon - Shipping for just 5 USD

    Just a heads up, don’t buy anything from iHerb if it’s getting shipped to Argentina. I just lost an $80 shipment because Customs requires me to hire a special broker, get extra paperwork, and all that stuff. They claimed it’s food (not supplements) and that’s the rule. Done deal.

    Newcomer After Milei's Veto—Hatred appears

    The universities argued that internal and external controls should follow established procedures and not be a tool for political intervention. This is a weak justification; the suspicion is that, as in other sectors, there is also embezzlement and fraud here. Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense.
