    Did many expats move out of Buenos Aires due to the higher cost of living?

    I guess I am too old. Back when I was younger any male posting photos of themselves like a girl would have gotten made fun of. Does he sell milk or something? What is the obsession with milk? Must be a younger generation thing. I can't feel sorry for expats or foreigners. Especially ones that...

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

    This inflation just isn't limited to Argentina. Many places the same thing has been happening over the years except in different categories. Not as sudden as Argentina but the cost of stuff everyone is more. This is the reason no one seems to want to have kids anymore. They can't afford them. I...

    If you had an Argentine friend in a really bad situation

    That doesn't sound like a nice thing to say. In my experiences there I wouldn't say there are only 1% not lazy. That is a terrible generalization that isn't fair. Many are just beaten down with the bad economy and poor leadership over many decades. There are a lot of hardworking people there too.

    Is crime getting worse? Is safety getting more complicated during this recession?

    Great they caught them. I heard they are going to put up many more cameras and security so that will be a good thing.

    Yikes! I haven't been back for a bit. Is it really that expensive for a dinner out now? $100 bucks each sounds like a ton!

    Javier Milei’s government will monitor social media with AI to ‘predict future crimes’

    I agree that controlling and preventing those roadblocks is so nice! Greatly improved the situation.

    Argentina on the Couch - The country has the world’s highest concentration of therapists.

    I have a friend there that is a therapist and she charges everyone the same. But it's impossible not to market her services in dollars because the exchange rate fluctuates so greatly. Going rate seems to be about $20 bucks per session. Doesn't seem that much for us but for a local earning pesos...

    Economy Morgan Stanley Predicts 2025 Inflation rate in Argentina will be 31%

    Very true. I have friends there who are Peronists and I talk about all the progress being made and they quickly try to change the subject and talk about the deep recession. It's like they won't admit any positive things going on there. I am not sure how any reasonable person can't admit that...

    Wow I like Milei's Picks for Deputies for LLA party!

    Argentina has some beautiful deputies. I'd love to see the entire cabinet.

    Argentina will be in the group of countries that support the defense of Ukraine against the Russian invasion

    I just saw that news that Argentina plans to give Ukraine 5 junkers planes that they don't even have parts for anyway so they are junk to Argentina. https://www.infobae.com/politica/2024/06/13/argentina-estara-en-el-grupo-de-paises-que-apoyan-la-defensa-de-ucrania-ante-la-invasion-rusa/
