    Spain recalls its ambassador to Argentina over Milei insult

    Biweekly trips to meet with cryptofascists abroad, using government money to go on religious excursions, 10 hours a day of "executive time" on Twitter, pissing off the countries we desperately need to invest in Argentina; talk about the leader Argentina desperately needs! "No hay plata", unless...

    I found a peanut butter that isn't runny or off tasting!

    I've seen Mani King at Carrefour and Jumbo, has anyone tried it?

    What happens after USD $12,000?

    Hey Paige, I saw several other users reported this issue with Santander specifically, and you have a couple of options, depending on how much of a "fight" you want to put up. At least in your case, it's pretty straight forward since as the beneficiary of a trust, your income should...

    What happens after USD $12,000?

    Always happy to help, it can be very confusing sometimes :)

    What happens after USD $12,000?

    I think there's some confusion going on here, so let me try and clear things up (not an accountant or lawyer, as always): - Undeclared limit for bringing physical dollars in to the country is and remains $10K USD (you can exceed it, but must declare it at the port of entry) - There exists no...

    Food prices are amongst the highest of the planet

    I'm in the US right now and prices are either the same or cheaper at grocery stores, it's crazy, and the selection, quality, and minimum/average wage are all much higher here too of course...

    Milei meeting with Elon Musk

    Letting the Musks of the world loot Argentina "to own the libs" is the exact sort of opinion and logical followthrough I expect from Mileistas. I don't believe in ISI or the K isolationism, but perhaps a man who continuously snatches defeat from the jaws of victory while being so high on...

    Tough Times For Argentine Factories As Consumers Penny-pinch

    Most people don't earn an income high enough to pay ganacias, true, but they're getting raked over the coals when it comes to things like IVA, Impuesto PAIS, etc. which are the most regressive taxes because they are flat, not graduated, and apply to everyone equally. The rich pay 21% on...

    Tough Times For Argentine Factories As Consumers Penny-pinch

    I assume as much too, Milei isn't the type of man to think rationally about things, consequences be damned. That's the problem, expensive peso, high export duties, high import duties (parts/capital goods) and liquified consumption domestically. This means opened imports or not, it makes more...

    Tough Times For Argentine Factories As Consumers Penny-pinch

    Doesn't help that the peso is artificially expensive which helps to decrease competitiveness. If Milei actually opens up imports local industry is going away fully, no more line shutdowns, entire factories closing because why get fake 'Made in TDF" appliances when you can get the same ones made...

    Milei faces biggest protest yet as students march over budget cuts

    This is the perfect metaphor. Sure, you may have an extra $500 in your bank account, but if you're living on the street does that mean you're doing well? My problem with Milei (amongst others) is that he's so out of touch with reality. Today he tweeted an AI image of a lion drinking a mug of...

    Carlos Rodríguez: “We are going into an economic depression…

    All blender, little chainsaw. What good is the cure if it kills the patient? $4 bread with a $1/hour minimum wage.
