Posts: 393"Look, these cows are emaciated. They should be capable of four or five births, but I will need to sell them because there is no pasture. They won't be able to reproduce because they are too thin," he says.
"If I have to pay for food for them I won't make any profit. They will have to go for corned beef because they are in such bad condition," he adds.

Posts: 1009If that's the case I would never call that man a gentleman Sidney.
At least put the animal out of its misery at a rendering plant, corned beef or panceros. Some return is better than nothing.
I am not a member of PETA, and I eat lots of meat.

Posts: 1009When you say stopped feeding, do you mean he stopped feeding his herd and left them to die in the field?

Posts: 393Looks like Argentina may have to import meat a few years down the line.
Argentina in a few years down the line, may have to import meat, instead of exporting it, if the trend continues. The draught and the government policy, of limiting exports, to keep domestic prices low, are causing farmers to slaughter the cows that should have generated next year's herds. The fields are drying up, and if they buy food for the cows, they cannot make money.

Posts: 216Based on the following article in the NYTimes, it appears the economic crisis and/or devaluation of the peso will occur rather sooner than later:

High dollar it's good for me and for farmers, but a 1=1 would be ideal for those big corporations selling stuff to the local marketshare including gas co, water co, microsoftcore corporation, etc.

Posts: 41It is my opinion that we must not let ourselves be carried away by this provokers like Marcelo Uribe.
The short time I spend in this forum showed me clearly that there are only two reasons for argies to join this forum: one is when they try to make business with us. The other is when they try to provoke us.
It is my experience when talking with this haughty nosed arrogant shit that call themselves argentinos that they despise us, specially we the monger type. You will see this shit dog Marcelo Uribe will not post any more. That's the fun for this poor brained silly people: to register, throw two or three posts like these ones, laugh about us with their fellow shit headed companions and never come back.

Answer:
Your head is so far up your rear-end that you are well-hidden from the idiocies that go on here and will continue to be a government / idiocy apologist until you have nothing left.
We write about this stuff because it actually hurts a lot of us to watch a place that we otherwise enjoy and have sentimental feelings for tear itself apart. We can't understand how so many people can be so blind to how reality works and this is what is really being discussed.
Instead of displaying such an obvious bias against foreigners with no apparent reason, why don't you tell us where we are wrong and try to defend what we consider indefensible? At least then we could understand where your dislike stems from.

Why do you keep on living in a place that disturbs you so much?
Answer:
Because you have been so dude all of your life that there is no other place in the world, at this point, where people could stand you so much as argentine people have already done.

1. Threatening to sell dollars in order to stop the money changers from too much activity in the buying and selling of dollars.
2. Actually selling dolllars.
3. Making it very difficult to buy dollars unless you can prove from where the money came from.
4. Quite a few banks and exchange houses now make you sign a small document that you swear you are not exchanging more than US$2,000 per month.
5. Visiting private banks. These banks have no signs. It's all based on trust. There are more than a few of them in barrios like Once. These are private banks in apartments that are fortified like banks, but are used to send money overseas by way of Panama, Germany, etc. These so called banks charge anywhere from 1 to 1.5% to send money. Literally you leave the money with them and within a few days it shows up in your account or in the account of the person you are sending it to. This is similar to the diamond exchangers of 47th street of New York city.
6. AFIP (the equivalent of the IRS) this week sent 1200 agents to visit 15,000 individuals and companies for investigation of not paying taxes and getting them to put their illegal stashes of dollars in the open (blanquear el dinero)
7. Also, AFIP has threatened to get court orders to look in bank safety boxes if they suspect avoidance of taxes and the holding of dollars that were ill gotten.
Anyway, it seems to me that the government is keeping the peso from floating downwards not with a "shhhhhh", but with a bang.
