You can only patch a leaking ship for so long.
They've been patching the 21 years since I first visited. I can't see anything much changing over the coming years either.

Gary Kipher , and in spite of all the mess, most of us still love living here!
Cheap baccy and booze helps......plus the weather. Apart from the hottest months of course. That's when I become a right grumpy bastard!!
I am really wondering what they have to offer to the entrepreneurs they are allegedly meeting to invite them to invest in Argentina. A dozen of exchange rate? Goods stopped in customs for months with no apparent reason? Ever-changing laws and regulations on money and import? Unreliable banking system? Cash shortage? Close to 100% annual inflation?
Indeed.....not exactly enticing.
The Government here spend too much of their time faffing about saving the ruddy peso when they should be concentrating on sorting out the root causes of it all.
Crawling again.
What's your opinion on the state of democracy in the countries I mentioned?
Although we have a democracy here, it's becoming more like a regime what with all the financial and trading restrictions in place.
I haven't a clue to be honest. All I know is Venezuela is one of the poorest countries in S America while Argentina should be number 1 which it isn't.
According to the puppet, Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua are the last bastions of democracy in South America, apart from Argentina of course.
Losing the plot takes on another dimension completely.
No wonder this country underperforms with f'ing idiots like him in charge!!
Ouch. Really?
Last time I looked it was...probably even more now. The postal charges seem to rise every week.
I take it ML must be protected in some shape or form given the lack of competition?
'cause it would be called eBait.
Especially when it comes to postal charges. A 150 peso packet of seed now attracts a 400 peso postal charge.
Why is Ebay not in Argentina?
You are completely incapable of keeping that promise, @JAN ! I know, because I’ve tried to restrain myself from commenting on 🤡’s bigger, worse US role model, and I’m incapable too!
Best do what I do....totally ignore what any Argentine politican says.
Albert says that Corona Virus is 'importado'.
So it must be bad.
He'll want to slap a massive tax on it then.
Display Moresuch a payaso......
As I said many times, prices are more or less the same, if u look in dollars.....the rise is related to inflation n loss of the peso value!
He try in any way to push the bullshit to other parts.....
Anyone with 101 in any financial stuff would be able to look through....
A kilo ojo de bife was 20 peso by a dollar of 4-5, in 2010.....
Today it's 400 by dollar 80...... exactly the same!!!! (Real term price.....U can use dollars, gold, bananas or whatever u want as reference)
Yes that's the way I look at it. However the retail trade do seem to have got into the habit of hiking up prices as and when they want. Something dodgy is going on and it has to be stopped before there's any chance of inflation ever coming down.
The KitKat theory?
but back to the fact: the loans was to cover loans from the kk era......
Today here we are......
Wouldn't it be appropriate to acknowledge that????? That's was just makes me furious.....
The freaking kk trolls talking like the loans that was taken by Macri was new loans...... totally from zero......it wasn't......
To be expected surely?
Massive change is needed here and I'm not talking politics. The Argentine mindset has to change first and I see no sign of that happening.
If he was afraid of that, he shouldn’t have run for president -
Egotism most likely.
But I really feel if Macri, right out of the box, had told the worst news to the people instead of trying to break it to them gradually, he would have had them with him
That was never going to happen....there would have been riots on the streets.
Yes, he was. He was perhaps being too conciliatory to K legislators, in the hope they could work together?
And he definitely should have announced the bitter medicine at the start of his administration. Such a lost opportunity.
I wouldn't be at all surpised if it was all rigged.
Not at all. But there were many people who voted for Macri in ‘15, who simply got tired of waiting for him to turn things around, and gave up. I can’t help thinking his loss was at least partially because of his administration’s poor communication about what they were doing, and why.
Said from Day 1 there was no way he was ever going to do much in four years. It's an impossible task no matter how you communicate it to the public....and let's face it would have to be bad news which is never going to go down well.
Argentina survives on untruths. Even if you get found out nothing will happen anyway.
Instead of punishing those who contribute most to the economy how about they who avoid contributing sod all. Like all those who work in black? Retailers, workmen, service industry, etc etc.
Display MoreThe newest great accomplishment of the 🤡:
Increase the retention from the soya by 33% (f*-%cking the farmers)
Pesificate the electric industries, the providers of the net and services......
(F@#$king the companies and making them now let the whole system and renovation go boom)
Same old story.....punish those who contribute most to the country. What they don't seem to realise is you can't only grow soya on the land you rent or own you have to rotate the crop with corn and wheat which doesn't earn the same amount of cash.
What exactly did the IMF say?
