With some things the inflation has never really left. Slowed down but not really left. And even the slowdown was a mirage because they did it with fake lower price of the dollar and inflated price of the peso. This situation reminds me of a group of drunk fraternity brothers driving in a van...

I went to the laundromat on friday to get some clothes washed. We have machines in our building that we need to buy tokens for but we can't find them anywhere lately. The price for those keeps going up too to do loads of laundry. How much is everyone paying? I went to one place in Palermo...

I just can't understand why they need more loans to get out of the cepo? Milei complained before about these IMF loans. Now he is saying he needs it to get rid of currency controls. It's not necessary to borrow billions more. Just let the exchange rate float and the market will be freed. It is...

When we sold our first apartment in BA we got foreigners that were trying to offer 20% lower. We told them to take a hike!

I just don't understand why the IMF would want to loan more money. Can anyone explain how Argentina is going to really improve doing more of the same? The Tax Amnesty is over, there are no more dollars incoming unless they do another amnesty. The IMF says continued currency controls = No more...
