Freaking good for a Country that was bankrupt nine (9) years ago!
We are paying fair minimum wages and keeping international competitivety.
Whats wrong with that?
Freaky crappy for a country that once, along with Australia , had the highest standard of living in the world.... as an Argentine said to me recently..'the difference between the two countries is that Australia got the British... we got the Spanish.....'

Well, look at the picture how they hold the “monarchy’s baton”, isn’t that cute?...Argentina’s democracy is a farce, they’re bending it w/ out breaking it. They will pass the baton to one another till they die. Technically, Southamerican populist democracies are built in a corrupt way.

Aug 11th, 2010 - 08:31 am - Link - Report abuse 0You forgot to mention the huge external debt owed by Australia close to a 1 trillion US dollar what represent 125% of your total annual GDP.
Australia is de 11 country with more external debt in planet earth.
So Australia economy is sustained thanks to borrowing abroad like the pomies and Yanks have done for 20 years and now reckon time is calling.
Australia also has also a budgetary deficit, revenues from taxation are less than expenditures make by govt. and are financed by borrowing abroad.
Do you think that this will last forever?
Of course not interest rates and the cost to server the external debt will kill your economy so recession poverty and cut will be your day today word.
When that happen someone like you will say:
Who a country that was rich as Argentina ended up in such a mess, well they got the Brits and the Argies the Spanish. Hahah.
By the way did you pay yet our nuclear rector sold to you?
Because seems you are becoming a risky client after seen your balance sheet.
@Pheel

@26 Pheel. Last mention of “nukes” on here was one of your compatriots offering to plant a device on the Falkland Islands, and another deciding to locate missiles all along your coast. Of course, you guys don't have any “nukes”, do you? And are prohibited from getting any. Tlatelolco Treaty.

Worst universities 'could be closed', says CBI
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/educationnews/7811826/Worst-universities-could-be-closed-says-CBI.html
“Some 16 per cent of children leave school in this country without any form of qualification, which is well above the [international] average. This represents a scandalous waste of human capital.”
“Employers fear they will be unable recruit students with the skills they need...
Nearly half of organisations told researchers they were already struggling to find staff with skills in science, technology, engineering and maths (Stem), while even more companies expect to experience shortages of employees with Stem skills in the next three years.”
“The research highlighted worries about the lack of progress in improving basic skills in the UK workforce. Half of employers expressed worries about employees' basic literacy and numeracy skills, while the biggest problem is with IT skills, where two-thirds reported concerns...”
That means that UKI will have to import skilled people elsewhere or move their operations where well educated people reside. May be Argentina perhaps?

Do you realize that education in US and UK is huge business and as such thing your universities are running for necons. And that they believe that education is just for an elite that can pay and the rest has to go to fight a war in Iraq or Afghanistan to gain a loan of 30k to get a basic education.

Don’t be stupid please only an ignorant can believe that crap. You need a lot of US Unis to start to compare with mega UBA.
In Argentina everyone has the same opportunity to get into a university poor or rich and if you want you can expend whatever you want in any private university.
This is what everyone expect from a developed country equal opportunities, good education, etc.
Having monkeys with money is not my concept of a developed country.
Do you know what I mean? Or I was just using too much euphemism in my sentence?
Until now the better trained in Argentina still are from public universities, so you can get excellent professionals from low middle class families backgrounds and they are recognised worldwide as imminence in their respective fields.
some of them worked for US leading institutions that you are so proud of like Cleveland Institute (Favaloro), Liotta (University Baylor of Houston Texas), Cesar Pelli (Senior member of Yale), San Martin (NASA), Romero (NAZA), etc.

Sigh...Basic education is free, higher education(uni) is what people get loans for. i've not met anyone who has been refused a uni loan. And i don't know many, if any wealthy people who are my age.
It's all silly really, you have this obsession with compairing Argentina with the likes of the US and UK. I've heard your country is a nice place. But it's not a world leader in things. A leader in latin america, yes. But other nations who have been around for longer are simply more wealthy, powerful and have better public services. It's not a bad thing but i think it would do you a favor if you just accepted that rather than pretending that Argentina is something it's not.
if Argentina thinks its services are better then everybody else’s, then it will never improve,

You said “It's all silly really, you have this obsession with compairing Argentina with the likes of the US and UK”
I have an obsession? You and your media have the obsession to compare UK with US you have to be silly to compare UK with US. You don’t exist you need to used the whole EU to start to make some comparatives. They are more than 7 times bigger than you in any aspect, so you are more comparable with Argentina than to US. UK is not even comparable with the Estate of California as they are far more technological advanced.
So as you say just accept your little place in the world rather than pretending that UK is something it's not.

Zethe: Argentinians are bought up that they are as technologically advanced as any country and that their standard of living is as high as the USA, UK or EU.
Aug 13th, 2010 - 12:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You have to remember up until Menem only the extremely wealthy Argentinians traveled outside of the country. During the brief time when they were at par with the U$ the “middle class” was able to travel abroad. That is when they saw what was really available out there. They were also finally able to bring in the technology. That all stopped in 2001 they lost par and lost the visa waiver program with the USA. Now they are unable to afford any sort of technological advances because now it costs 3-4X more than it did in 2001. Actually with the import taxes etc a laptop in BA costs 3X more than what it does in the USA. A decent laptop costs 2-3 mo of the avg ARG wage! So since 2001 they are stuck with old technology and slow expensive internet. It will only get worse as they continue to fall behind the rest of the world. They don't realize it because they can't travel any longer it is too expensive and people 19-35 are generally denied US visas. So the only places they can go are other Latin American countries. They can only compare to what they see and compared to Bolivia they are doing great!
That is why people like Nico are impossible to debate, he is using a false premise and that will never change.
Very true. I'm visiting US for first time next year, new york. Gonna see how well you guys can drink!
Aug 13th, 2010 - 01:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Question, is it harder or easier to gain a visa if you are from countrys like UK or canada? or are all people treated the same?
It is automatic for the 36 countries with the visa waiver program. I think you just have to go online and register though. Every other country has the same procedures. The USA has really cracked down since 9/11 on visas. It is pretty hard for people from Latin America and Eastern Europe to get one they just don't have the income/assets to qualify. And if you are between 19-35 they assume you are going to stay unless you can prove otherwise. I have been to the US Embassy in BA a lot of people leave crying.

Also, Google has only one head office, as all companys do, which is located in the US. Google has several large offices around the US. As well as offices in ireland, argentina, bejing and england.
They have over 40 offices world wide. I don't know how much you know about the internet but large search engines such as google require having large server farms spread across the world in order to put up with the massive ammounts of users they get per day. The internet as a global web, is outsourced by it's very nature.
Also, since when is partnering with another nation to conduct a scientific study a sign of technological weakness or stagnation?
Such things are common place in science.
As for the “most” technologically. The last study was done in 2005, Supprisingly denmark was first, US was 6th, UK 9th. Argentina wasn't on the list.
The US often are seen as the most advanced because, while other nations have advanced technology, only the US has the GDP to fund creation of said technology.
Nico. Glad to see your farmers have cut back on wheat production. Of course, the Americans have lots. But can you afford it? And China doesn't want your soy. And other countries that will buy it, for the time being, pay far less. Chile and Uruguay are backing away from you. Chavez has criminal allegations against him at the ICC.

Aug 14th, 2010 - 08:30 am - Link - Report abuse 0Google has offices everywhere but not Regional Headquarter like Dublin (Ireland) for example. This does not means that Italy or UK has not office.
If this makes someone special, I don’t know but seems to be true under the view of Google Inc. They have chosen Dublin instead of UK as a RHQ.
Is the same as London as a financial center each bank there has an office in Buenos Aires or everywhere but London is the Hub. And for that reason is a global FC Capisci ragazzo?
So doesn’t matter if I list here all office of banks in Buenos Aires with the same name as in UK, London still is a global financial center and Buenos Aires is not.
@Briton
You made basic stuff for communication purposes like broadband internet access, etc and are made by an EU consortium Atrium subsidiary of EADS founded by German Daimler Aerospace AG, MATRA SA France and Construcciones Aeronauticas SA Spain. You have not any own technology mates.
“as we don’t have a spaceship yet, but we are getting their”
Spaceship? Do you mean a SAT launcher anyway hurry up mates because we were lunching rockets to the space an living things since the ‘50.

USA is not our mates and never was and we don’t ask anything because our engineers already work there.
May be you need to ask them for some technology transfer I don’t know.
But this drives me to the following question.
Why always Brits think that to do things with US is a plus? Or that you have a “Special relationship” with US.
USA has relation with every country in the world where they have any interest that’s all.
Saddam Hussein also thought that he was special to US.
They have put you in the mess you are now financially I’ wouldn’t sell toxic assets to my “Special relationship fellow country” and you?
Plese show me a link proving that those three offices are the ONLY regional HQ's. Because it's just not true.
