Free thinking not allowed in Arg?
To be honest, it doesn't seem to be overly intrusive and time sapping. A little annoying (and something that I wouldn't like to have to do as I don't think it is the government's business) but people will get used to it pretty quickly and it will become part of life.
May 30th, 2012 - 09:27 am - Link - Report abuse 0Doesn't seem labarynthine to me either
May 30th, 2012 - 09:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0The final answer at the end of the labyrinth will most likely be “no Dolares for you señor”.
May 30th, 2012 - 09:44 am - Link - Report abuse 0“Qualify for dollars” - WTF !!!!!
May 30th, 2012 - 10:22 am - Link - Report abuse 0I'm surprised Argentines aren't told to export goods on their holidays. One day per week away must be spent selling on street corners in your destination country.
Roll up roll up - get your Argentine...um...err...cows here?!?!?
Irrational moves of a increasing desperate, hysterical, mentally unstable dictator.
May 30th, 2012 - 11:44 am - Link - Report abuse 0The more restrictions that are made the more people will start to panic. They say this is to pay the BODEN 2012 bonds but I don't think they will lift these draconian measures after it is paid. They are desperate and acting foolish and lashing out.
Stupid stupid people
Ah the word Labyrinth brings one Jorge Luis Borges to mind...

There are articles today about Arg Embassy folks, rent etc. not getting paid because they are out of U$!!

May 30th, 2012 - 01:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This imminent crisis will be much worse and much longer than 2001. I find it laughable they think the BCRA reserves will cushion the blow. They are in effect out of U$, the reserves are either already committed or threatened with attachment to pay the judgments.
This is an elaborate farce that the Ks have played on Arg and they're in the final act.

May 30th, 2012 - 01:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You know he means Eva - but there are so many rumours and myths whirling round her name that who knows what was true and what was not.
May 30th, 2012 - 02:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0She certainly succeded in her own right before she met Peron so you can't really imply that Peron met a hooker and married her.
the ck-gang acts as the former DDR - german democratic republic - before it collapsed.
May 30th, 2012 - 02:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Remember what I have said when a RG gov't official talks whatever they say it is really the exact opposite. Various ministers have been running around saying they aren't worried about the substantial differential in the real and gov't exchange rate...which means they ar PANICKED.
May 30th, 2012 - 02:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Google translate (sorry) PATACONES talked about again!!
Measures that recall the past, Entre Rios decided in March to pay salaries in two installments, while Santa Cruz only pay wages up to $ 9,000 gross public. Above that amount, workers will have to wait.
In Cordoba, some mayors revived the specter of quasi-currencies when they said that after cutting the partnership, would accept this means of payment...
Stagflation...devaluation..hyperinflation...collapse
Right now mall sales and tax revenue are not keeping up with the inflation figures...PUBLIC AND PRIVATE DISASTER
