It is impossible to state a poverty line when you have Argentina inflation....Simply say that if you are a pet hamster, you will be poor....If you pay income taxes, you will not be poor................ :oyvey |

Argentina has always been averse to paying their foreign debts....This has severely damaged their economy so that it is harder to pay their pensioners...Argentinians really suck at economics............

How can milk in Argentina be the second expensive in the World? we import beef from Argintine, it's economically feasible even taking in account the distance - because it takes nothing to raise cettle there, almost zero cost , no colds, no snow, no warm buildings, bo heating in the winter, no special food storage for cows, they can just be left in the preriah all year long.... And generally I don't understand Argentinians - such a wonderful climate, plenty of land, beaches and palms... how can one make himself unhappy at all?

![]() Cambiemos Lower House lawmakers including Mario Negri, Luciano Laspina and Nicolás Massot deliver a statement to the press yesterday about their meeting with governors concerning the controversial pension reform. Foto:Télam. Read here, too. In short: the Macri Regime still wants to rob 100 billion pesos from the pensioners, during 2018. But as "compensation", it offers them a bond of 4 billion pesos, just for this time. Oh, the "generosity". |

Believe me you should avoid it by all means. Unless you want a civil war and 10 mln dead... In your case one of the sides in this civil war will have full support of the US and its slaves while there's nothing the opposite side can do and nobody to help it. It's hopeless and will just lead to destruction of the country. But probably protests are still good since it's still pressure.. But generally speaking, the History is a spyrall. After a turn to socialism and bigger independence in Latin America now it's turn for reaction, then there will ve revival of bigger socialism and independence. Maybe in 10 years, and it may coinside with peak US-Russia and US-China tensions so leftists in Latin America will be also able to count on external help.. I expect Russia-West war in Ukraine not earlier than 2019-20... Edited by Siberian, Dec 23 2017, 05:07 AM.

Yes, i fully agree. I think Macri begins to lose political support. It's very slow, but it's there. That is the idea. May it be so... May it be not so. The risks would be huge. |
