Things must be in the shitter...
Argentina is saber-rattling over the Malvinas, again. This must mean that things on the domestic front are getting really bad. Any of you local's have opinions of the current state of affairs?
As usual, a lot of different perspectives

Have a nice dinner for 2, less than USD 50.
Don't go tourist, otherwise, could cost USD 200, may be more...
December it's a great time to go and have a great 2 to 3 week vacation.
Here's to a brighter future!
Cheers to Argentina for taking a big first step to recovery!
Just like the US apart from....
[QUOTE=DonB;460938]Just like the US.[/QUOTE]Double digit inflation. It hasn't averaged over 10% for a single decade in the last 50 years ([URL]https://inflationdata.com/Inflation/Inflation_Rate/Long_Term_Inflation.asp[/URL]) and unionists who brainwash the population....in the land of union busters and very low union membership? I doubt it very much. I agree about the dollar being in terminal decline though.
Not a math wizard but something has got to be off here
IF 1 USD = 1500 ARS, then from what some have posted, independent friends are charging 300000 ARS (200USD)? This seems insane since the website listed below would indicate that one could rent 5 expensive furnished apartments for this amount. I am just trying to figure out the economy and am mostly interested in the Malbec, but this math seems way off. Curious what the Peso range would be if local. Writing a novel and need accurate info... ;).
