    Economy Argentina's Economic Collapse in 2001

    I think Macri did and does make clear what his government inherited. At the same time he barely beat Kircher despite the state she left the country in. Hes aware that he has to tread a fine line. He isnt a populist so looking for blame and victimhood isnt his style afterall his selling point was...

    Newcomer Encargado Problems

    The guy is a jerk? Be a jerk too! (À con, con et demi as we say in French :p) That's his job to clean the hallway? Notice his cigarette's brand and ask for some smoker friends of yours who smoke the same cigarettes to give you their smoked ones. Crush them under your foot and place a few every...

    Education Recommendations for Kindergardens

    Well put er, 9-5 is curriculum and extra hours are pure babysitting...not something I'd generally chose for my kids but the options are there in case the OP needs to work 8-5 with some flexibility...and from experience flexibility is key as traffic, manifestaciones etc mean you cannot plan to be...

    Education Recommendations for Kindergardens

    sorry but you are not correct in this as I checked out Sworn college, Belgrano and Washinton schools in Belgrano as we considered moving there in our early days in Bsas and they as well as other kinders offer a 7.30 - 7pm service. Hours outside of 9-5 are typically charged at an hourly rate and...

    Used to be possible to open a savings account but a few months ago, such accounts were closed if I recall (there's one thread or two in the forum). Not 100% sure though

    Taxes Cristina asks AFIP to investigate man who commented for newspaper article

    Turns out the guy doesn't file his taxes since 2007. He's quite stupid to have declared he has been closing about 12/15 deals every month during the past years. Reminds me of the owners of the grocery market nearby my house: they avoid paying 300.000/400.000 pesos in taxes per year but complain...
