Nov 19th, 2012 - 05:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I saw some pictures of the “megastorm”... we get as many trees down and fires in Mendoza during a stupid Zonda event. Talk about a country in decline, I bet in the 1950s they would have fixed all that in a week.
Tens of thousands of trees came down during the hurricane. A rare event in the area it hit. Like the 1987 hurricane in England, these rare events cause much destruction because they are so rare.
Nov 19th, 2012 - 05:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Are there even that many trees in Mendoza? (Not including the cultivated fruit trees).
Unlike you, TTT, I have travelled extensively in Argentina and the US. There is no comparison. Argentina is a beautiful country but has been underdeveloped, underfunded and neglected for decades. Despite your wish that Argentina is somehow on the rise and the US on the fall, it certainly does not look that way. You should get out in the world and see for yourself. It might widen your narrow mind.
What are you talking about? Did I say anything about Argentina? Aren't you the one always bleeting to stick to topic. Well dearess, the topic here AINT Argentina. Stick to the program unless you are the typical British behavior of “do as we say not as we do”.
Nov 19th, 2012 - 05:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0There's millions of trees in Mendoza, and all are artificially planted. How about that.
You are talking about tens of thousands of trees over an area the size of the east coast of Buenos Aires province, not all in one little area. Furthermore that region of the world has a massive population density, so the man power is there. And since you just said how superior the USA is supposedly, you would think they would have the equipment ready to go.
No, there is no excuse for it to take a month to just axe through some trees with electric serruchos.
I give a slark how much you've travelled, I still will place my opinion and furthermore your opinions on Argentina are biased and in the real world of journalism and research no one would take them seriously unless it was a pro/con document, where two opposing sides were highlighted.
Did you know? Gas prices in America are cheaper than India where people earn 3% of American wages?

“This time Hurricane Sandy created a temporary glitch in the regional supply line by cutting off power to gas stations ”
Nov 21st, 2012 - 02:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What is worse....small area gas lines from a natural disaster like a hurricane in NYC.......or national gas lines from poor economic management from a moron like kirchner?
“Argentina’s current predicament would be more comic than tragic if there were any sign of reason in the Casa Rosada presidential offices in Buenos Aires. ”

“Business owners who complain publicly may suffer the wrath of Fernández, who occasionally interrupts her nationally televised announcements to call out whiners. It would be a little like the American president using a State of the Union address to single out a Tucson hair salon owner for griping to the local paper about the White House’s China policy”

Nov 23rd, 2012 - 09:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0Poopy you are very funny, the link to the article that you have posted criticising Argentina if from Bloomberg.
The multimedia group owned by Michael Rubens Bloomberg the actual Mayor of New York City that cannot provide “Gasoline” to New Yorkers due to his incompetence.
Is not silly?
Next what?
Mr. Dracula criticising Argentina for not being vegetarian and eat meat?
#14 If the US President was able to refute critics as Cristina can, he wouldn't have to ignore them =)
Nov 23rd, 2012 - 09:47 am - Link - Report abuse 0Well BK unlike in yopur homeland, Argentina,we cannot just close down the freedom of the press. Presidents and leaders of the free world accept cristism, it comes with the job of being a real leader of a free country. You know that old saying...“ if you can't stand the heat, stya out of the kitchen”. I think in this case......asslips should not be in the kitchen......her recipes are poisonous.

Nov 24th, 2012 - 07:16 am - Link - Report abuse 0You cannot close down any media group in US simply because your presidents are puppet of them and has not any power. All just follow the book wrote by the US and foreign plutocracy.
And that is the reason why you will be looking for a job in Tijuan in the next few years among other things...
That’s all poopy...
