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

    I'm not a Peronist, far less a Kirchnerist. I'm a River fan but not anti-Boca. But if there's one thing I will always be, it's anti-dumbasses and sons of bitches, like Milei and those who support him.

    Milei’s popularity plummets amid corruption scandal in Argentina

    The sole purpose of that terrible party that many of us voted for by default is a hodgepodge of criminals, narcos, con artists, whores, and mentally challenged people. Now they are trying to convince LLA supporters to vote for Peronists.

    New wave of shutdowns and layoffs puts Argentine industry on alert

    This is exactly what so many people in Argentina are complaining about right now. If local factories are allowed to just white label and rebrand finished imports and sell them at an absurd markup in a captive market, then everyday consumers should absolutely have the right to import those same...

    More than 20,000 Kiosks closed in Argentina over the past year (50 per day)

    Think it's clear to most people this is not going to end up well. These kiosks are a good barometer for the typical company. Man if they can't make it, very telling. Not saying I have the answers but sure as hell know that all these businesses shutting down, no consumption, homelessness...

    Is there anywhere to buy reasonably priced almonds here in BA

    Corte Carniceria is the best of the best. It's my butcher of choice in Belgrano. It's on Av. Olazábal 1391. If you like chorizo you're in for a treat! They have it with garlic, jalapeño, curry, criollo, and many different spices. They also deliver. Their beef is also the best...

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

    Good to hear from you. It would be interesting to read a comparison from you. I know Rio well. I enjoy the beach vibe but I have found the safety and crime situation is much worse in Rio vs. BA. But much better supermarket and fruits and vegetables there. How is life there @Darksider415?

    Confirmed - The Central Bank of Argentina is Manipulating the Exchange rate

    Any place to get quality sneakers in Buenos Aires?
