So my friend bought an apartment in Recoleta last year. He was only renovating his kitchen and bathrooms and the contractor told him it would be easy. He had to pay a big chunk up front. Long story short the project still isn't done! I don't know if they will ever finish. The agreed to a...

Holy smokes therapy is cheap in Buenos Aires. That is less than my $50 co-pay in the US!

That is what I don't get. I get that he is friendly with the USA and ultimately that is very good for Argentina. But an investor meeting pitching possibly investing billions in Argentina and hearing a tirade against one of the most respected billionaires in Argentina doesn't seem to be the time...

The corruption just keeps stacking up it seems like. It's no wonder the country is considered more corrupt with Milei. Get this. Someone in the Milei administration was betting on Polymarket on the inflation index. They got busted and instead of announcing who got caught Argentina blocked...

I would have to think that with a drop in consumption like what we are seeing many of these places will fold. There is only a limit to how much they can raise prices. Many are at American city prices and we have a lot higher inflation in Argentina. Labor costs, rent, utilities will all keep...

I don't see much pickle ball played in BA. Would be nice if it picks up. https://buenosairesherald.com/sports/argentina-warms-to-pickleballs-social-game

How long of an "adjustment period" though before people just give up on the austerity? Is continuing to raise the price on everything the answer when people are tapped out? Looks like transportation keeps going up and utility bills too. I would think people are going to just eventually give up...

It is actually reverse now as Asians are looked at as very intelligent and successful. My nice lives in the USA and only likes Asians. She said they are the smartest at school and from good families and hard workers. Not slackers like the white kids. You are probably going to have it easier...

The roadshow seems like an utter failure. I haven't read of any investments from foreign firms. Just 2 from Argentine firms. Doubt with the war anyone will want to enter Argentina. Not to mention the recession going on...

Well the longer the War goes on the more chances Democrats have of winning next cycle. The chances up 5% since the War started. That would be terrible for Argentina.

You can't have change when the President and his family are grifting. Look at Libragate. Look at the social scam grift by his sister. They campaigned against the caste and they are the new caste. Staying in 3,500 a night suites. Bringing in needless people to NYC. Once the IMF money and aid...

Very interesting! I had no idea that things would be less here vs. USA. What would a Honda XR300 Tornado sell for here? Does your company help with that? Can I buy one with just a CDI and no DNI? And would I be able to get insurance? This is some really interesting stuff @xfiltrate 8...

I totally agree with you @Good Stuff. The prices are very very good. I saw a few shows there with my girlfriend. My Spanish is not fluent but I enjoy seeing them perform. Just like you mentioned, the facial expressions are incredible. The movie and theatre scene is incredible here. Many only...

It is all kind of funny to watch play out. They bring all the Governors that thought they would have access and private time with Milei and none of them got to talk to them. My friend was at the event today and they said the Governors were all stuck outside of the main conference room. They...
