    Well when the government tells you that you can only live on 7 pesos a day, is anyone really surprised at this.

    I expect the usual trolls to post on here soon, no doubt ordered by their La Campora paymasters to DEFLECT, DEFLECT, DEFLECT.

    So they'll change the subject or start with the 'whataboutery'.

    Should be interesting to read how they're going to spin this one.

    I think you will find that Argentina thinks you can live on 24 pesos a day, or $3.

    Presumably they assume you hunt for your own food, live in a bivouac, drink rain water and never need medical treatment.

    This is a surprise. It seems that a poor, broke “country” can't feed itself. Has the “government” stolen the wheat yet? Wonder if the farmers will do the sensible thing and plant even less wheat? Will we get to see CFK, Tinboy and Morono out “scattering the seeds”?

    This is funny considering that a week ago I decided to reduce my intake of white flour to improve my health. Though, everyone I know loves picking up a warm loaf of bread to snack on during work hours.

    Facturas, medialunas, bollos, pasta, empanadas, etc. will be more expensive. Usually the corrupt stop at the point where they can leave the laziest portion of the population watching TV and ignoring everything around them.

    The K's are such an oppressive presence that complacency is not an option. I stand by my bet earlier this year that Cristina won't make it to the end of the year.

    “How on earth has it gotten so bad in Argentina?”

    It hasn't. You are just drinking the Mercopress/opposition cool-aid.

    Is it so hard for you to believe that the anti CFK forces and media over-dramatize and fudge numbers just as much as CFK herself does? Why is so hard to believe this? It happens all over the world, quite honestly.

    If things are so bad in Argentina, why hasn't the street exploded a la Brazil, Middle East, India, other parts of Latin America, etc? You yourselves claim CFK has no money to bribe, so if people are starving and they are not being bribed to keep quiet, what's keeping them quiet?

    So keep your sympathy, we know it is neither real nor warranted.

    The poverty rate is 25%, not 35% like the opposition claims not 7% like CFK dreams it is.

    That is the truth and that is the end of the story. Yes, all of you here are wrong simply because you are not impartial.

    Well, gasoline was 0.90 cents in your coutry just 12 years ago or so.

    .90 to 4.00 today

    http://money.cnn.com/2008/05/20/news/economy/gas_price_history/index.htm

    But Americans didn't get at 400% pay increase since then... then add all that which is carried by gas: groceries, heating, etc. And then add medical prices, and then add rent prices, and the rest.

    Yeah ok, everything you listed goes into our reported inflation numbers already and they're practically nothing yoy.

    NOBODY talks about inflation here, nobody.

    Plus you keep forgetting we were in a recession and now we are not. You were in a “sugar induced” economic high and now in recession for 2 yrs.

    You have the worst most and complicated economic problem imaginable STAGFLATION. There is no fixing it in the short term. Only devaluation and hyperinflation until there is a depression. Then prices will come back into alignment.

    Your $14 coffee is equivalent to the USA paying u$13 for coffee! Starbucks a block from my house a regular medium coffee is U$2.

    Most of the US opposition and even many in the democrats claim the US fudges its numbers, and that unemployment and poverty are MUCH higher than listed.

    It only takes a primary school education to figure out that if something you MUST have (Americans must have gasoline) goes from 0.90 to 4.00 in 10 years, but your salary goes from 14 to 16 an hour, that you are no where near as wealthy as before (and again then add all other expenses like food going up, and medical insurance, and property insurance, all through the roof in the USA because of recent catastrophes). It is clear people are FAR worse off today than a decade ago and the last recession just made it that much worse.

    But... I do not drink coffee.

    You are the one who used coffee as an example. I was just pointing out how ridiculously out of whack your economy is compared to the USA.

    Since you've never been here you have a hard time understanding how we live. No not everyone uses gasoline, there 10s of millions of people that live in large cities that use public transportation. Even I walk mostly everywhere and rarely use my car. I fill up maybe...maybe 6-8X year. So the price of gas to me is irrelevant.

    Lots of people lost lots of wealth during the recession. It will take some time to recover from it but we will. Home prices are up, stock prices are up, retirement accounts are up, again we have very little inflation and just about everyone I know has had their best 2 years the last 2 years in their lifetimes.

    Just look to the amount of illegal Rgs that COULD have and SHOULD HAVE gone home while we were in recession and you were having a supposed boom time. Most of them, 250K in MIAMI alone, ended up staying illegally! Being illegal in the USA is not fun but they must think it is a better life than they could get at home.

    I used Starbucks because it is worldwide and easy to compare, it could be used much like the Big Mac Index.
    When I lived there just about everything was priced like it was in the USA, so $5 hamburger was U$5 here. It made sense.
    But now with the gov't trying to control some prices but not all everything is totally skewed like it was right before the last crash.
    For them to have to spend .4% of the avg wage for a coffee is flabbergasting!
    Most Rgs don't understand math or interest rates so I might as well be trying to explain it to my cat she'll probably catch on quicker.

    As far as I know, the most popular retail freight route is USA-Argentina, because so many Argentines do return home, unlike the other immigrants. I know someone that moved back to Cordoba and said many people do the same, they take their car/furniture/ with them.

    As for your usage of the expression “in Miami alone”, that is not very clever. I could say, there are thousands of Americans in Mendoza and BA alone... but that would be suggesting there far more elsewhere, but the vast majority live in those two towns.

    The vast majority of argies in the USA are in Miami, and lesser in New York. You have to get the NSA to track calls for years to find argies outside those two towns and maybe Los Angeles.

    Oh wait (NSA).

    Their choice is to live under the radar, in low skill, low wage jobs or live in your country.
    They made the same choice I did, live like a rock star in Arg or live like a regular guy in the USA. It was an easy choice.

    90% of those people left in a three year period in 2000-2002. Take that out of the picture and in 100 years less about 100k argies left for the USA (and that includes the Junta exiles).

    Hardly something worth noting either in the USA's population impact, or even as any indication of any very long term trend. It's just not there.

    You can twist things whichever way you want.

    If the USA is so great, then why do people go there just to work and then get the heck out of there? That is what many Europeans do. Why do so many Americans retire and get the heck out if it is so cheap and nice and safe? Speaking of logic.

    Second, many did go back home. Go to Miami and ask, at one point there was a part of town that was called New BA, I remember reading then. Just two years ago La Nacion went back to see the same area 10 years after: hardly a trace left of that period when it was full of stores and every other you found in the streets was argie.

    Little Buenos Aires still exists in Miami, if you type in “Little Buenos Aires” Google maps takes you to North Miami Beach!

    Your posts are getting more and more nonsensical, we are a huge rich country our retired expat community is very small compared to our population only about 1MM estimated live out of the USA.

    Also the retirees tend to move from expensive to cheap, NYC-FL, LA-Phoenix. Some move out of the country but very very few permanently,
    I tried it, hated it and when I retire I will probably move to a small town in NC.
    The life in the USA is not for everyone the Rgs I knew that have tried it went home. They were mostly educated middle class and when they figured out they had to work in construction or as a bartender or waiter they moved back to their parents house but too many have stayed. Thank goodness they shut off the visa waiver program or we'd have been over run!

    Yankee I understand from your posts that in general, you like a few others here hate Argentines, general speaking across the board. However I disagree with you regarding educated middleclass Argentines.
    Some of my friends/ wife's family are RG educated....a lawyer....several physicans, one surgeon and mostly MBA'd business managers. Upper middleclass by USA standards. Would you venture a guess as to what they work as in the USA? Exactly what they trained for. With all due respect to most of your opinion, I do believe that you are blinded by your hatred. Perhaps the middleclass you knew where not educated as they lead you to believe.
    BTW, while physical, construction workers around Boston can pull down 100k, perhaps chump change to NY'er's, but most of my family still living there consider that a very good wage. Not all of us Americans that post here are millions traveling the world weekly.

    Simple answer is…..:
    It has NOT ”gotten so bad in Argentina”

    Let us see…………... shall we….:
    1) The above article is ”BASED” on a ”PAPER” written by two opposition candidates that say that they BASED their “PAPER“ on the findings of the ”University of Buenos Aires Nutritional School”…......

    2) The above article tells us that the “University of Buenos Aires Nutritional School” estimates that a typical family (Mom, dad, two kids, 9 &12 years) needs monthly some 3.700 AR$ to buy a “Healthy Food Basket”.

    Well…….
    That’s a downright LIE!
    “The University of Buenos Aires Nutritional School” findings are only about the (lousy) alimentary habits of us, Argentineans…..
    IT DOES NOT EVEN MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT PRICES!
    Don’t you believe me?...... Check it out…..:

    Anyhow……
    Using myself as an example…..
    a) I consider my dietary habits to be balanced, healthy and fairly expensive…..
    b) I don’t bereave myself (or the dogs) the lavishness of having what we like….(“Treats” as a tiny quart of Single Malt a fortnight, a yearly pound of first flush Darjeeling or an industrial bag of DentaStix are a must)......
    c) I reckon, my monthly food and beverage budget to be about 1,000 to 1,500 AR$..... (That’s including the 5K9s).......
    d) With the above “In Mente” I do “Think” that it is quite possible for a family of four in today's Argentina to acquire a ‘Healthy Food Basket’ for ~2,000 AR$ a month........

    Hope this answers your question.

    Well the Big Mac index in Chile is all screwed up. McDonalds has long promotions every month highlighting one of their sandwiches. It started with a quarter pounder with cheese for 1,000 pesos, followed by a Big Mac for the same price and currently they have a double patty cheese bacon burger for 1,100. (current exchange rate is 507 to 1 USD.)
    L
    What's the current Argentine Big Mac selling for?
    Gas, cooking oil, meat, gasoline and electricity are far cheaper in Argentina. University education for you children is nearly free in Argentina, and frankly public education in Argentina is far superior to Chile.

    Think: HOWEVER Señor THINK, any single malt you can imagine is far cheaper here than in your country. Priorities, priorities...

    In California, you'd get $600 a month for one child plus over $400 in a food debit card. Plus free school meals. And full medical. And help up to $1000 for car repairs to help get you to work. And subsidized housing. And subsidized heating. And 100 free cell phone minutes monthly. Etc....
    And the food is CHEAPER there!
    I've had a couple ppl say, yes, they make less (in South America), but they're food is cheaper. NOT SO!

    But according to Tobias Argentina has no problems.
    It's a virtual paradise where everyone is rich, with more food than they can eat, and all the protests are by middle-class malcontents who are he'll bent on destroying the workers paradise.

    He conveniently forgets that it is the workers who are on strike as they have seen their food costs and utilities increase in line with real inflation (not INDECS version), with increases on income tax, meaning that they have less and less money with which to feed their families.

    Those like Tobias will continue to support the government until the government can no longer afford to buy their support. Then they'll be the ones on the street protesting.

    Argentina is entering its winter of discontent. When this happened in the UK a leader arose that put the country before everything else. Her name: Margaret Thatcher.

    Unfortunately Argentina appears to be short of people of Margaret Thatchers character. The corruption is too ingrained .

    In short, they're fecked.

    @YamkeeBobo

    If a coffee of AR$14 is equivalent to the USA paying u$13 you have to equal salairies with your wrong exchange PPP conversion.

    I export a manufactured product from Argentina to Uruguay, Brazil and Chile at the moment and I and considering to do the same to Colombia. My price is USD15 below that the American product (CIF icoterm), even with high frigate charges here in Argentina that it is fixed to international price.

    How does Big MAC index explains that?

    @ LEPRecon

    Argentina is not paradise agree, but you have to hear the sad stories from fellow Europeans coming in lots to Argentina saying that here is paradise compared with what they have experienced in their homeland.

    Please don’t be silly I was living in Britain and most of common British will be poor in Argentina, How Can TF a Brit can live decently with 2k pounds at month?

    This is a really to be poor in Expensive UK. Have you noted that?

    @ Chicureo

    Yes as you said I do understand what the real situation is my friend but you sure wouldn’t like to know for sure.

    Well someone have to bring you down to reality...

    Argentina is technological more advanced compared with Chile about hundred years and even if 60% of its industrial complex have been destroyed during the ‘80 and ’90 there is something called industrial memory.

    Its like to ride a bike once you have learned even you have not performed a ride for 30 years you will be able to do it any time.

    So if you come from a more advanced country you will find a lot of business opportunity here.

    Only idiots that don not understand ARG economy assume that Argentina only can produces Cows and soy beam.

    That thinking is so ignorant like to say that France only can produce Croissant and Italy Pasta.

    Streaking ahead of the destitution and squalor of any other comparable nation. Everyone has enough to eat and earns enough to live comfortably.

    The economic collapse isn’t coming Argentina’s way, but is the inevitable future for countries like the US, UK and Australia.

    Argentina has a diversified industrial base and produces many things like petrochemicals and derived products, monomers, polymers, paint, etc.
    Steel industrialised products, Aluminium, machinery, industrialised product for construction, wires, electronic, electrical appliances, parts for vehicles, textile fabrics, etc.

    So let’s say that around 90% of the products in Argentina are Argentine made.

    And from U$s 500bn GDP nominal only U$s 35bn comes from Agro business.

    As you can see cows, grains, soy, etc. has a little share in the economy circle just 7%.

    How do you explain that a country with 500bn GDP only imports 67bn? Magic?

    Ok you don’t like cars, isotopes, medicines, etc. but sure you have a credit card, Mobile phone, or use smart cards for identification, chips production trace, etc. or you still live in stone age?

    Argentina has the 7 plant of production of nano technology in the world with these characteristics and can produce from the raw material to the whole circle in house and including nano sim chips that are currently use in Apple nano, etc.

    Total investment U$D 1.2 billions

    1-Oh! ChrisRambo alwasy talking about things that he doesn’t know and the only thing he can talk about is a old telephone installation in India.

    Let me explain it again please with more details to show you how you like to talk without any argument.
    First Fiber optic starts from a raw glass tubes that are submerged into a acid bath to remove any organic stuff.

    Then typically 2,3 o more tubes are soldered by using flame and friction at high temperature around 3000 degrees to enlarge the piece while are spinning in a special king of lathe.

    Then are filled with inert gas mixture with silicon and germanium. Then a piece is cut and sealed and introduced into a linear tower what it is a kind of vertical oven at 3600/3650 degrees.

    The tube glass start to soften and is stretching by gravity by it own weight, when the stretching tube meets certain diameter is cut and then a calibrator is used the type of pass nor pass of steel to force the tube to be into standard tolerance +-0.1mm 0.05mm, etc.

    There you have your fiber optic idiot only a big mouth idiot like you was forced to sign a confidentiality agreement to buy fiber optic. Ha ha I just wonder why?

    Ah! I forgot you came from Ukistan may be that sure was the reason.

    2- About your stupid comment what can I say?

    You have to ask how shit the Agazzi products are to the Americans that buy products from him. You can start with Dr. Voois president of ClariPhy Communications Inc USA who is his best client and also his partner.

    After all you are the only person claiming to be Engineer in communication that buys Unix computers may be you know something that the rest don’t know. How knows?

    Argentina was the United States' 53rd largest supplier of goods imports in 2012.

    U.S. goods imports from Argentina totaled $4.4 billion in 2012, a 3.3% decrease ($149 million) from 2011, but up 37% from 2002.

    The five largest import categories in 2012 were: Mineral Fuel and Oil ($1.1 billion), Iron/Steel Products ($411 million), Beverages (wine) ($407 million), Preserved Food (grape juice, apple juice) ($320 million), and Aluminum ($196 million).

    U.S. imports of agricultural products from Argentina totaled $1.7 billion in 2012, the 18th largest supplier of Ag imports. Leading categories include: wine and beer ($403 million), fruit and vegetable juices ($226 million), vegetable oils ($107 million), and fresh fruit ($98 million).

    Oh dear!

    Guess what “signed a confidentiality agreement means”? So NO I cannot.

    We are not talking some half-arsed system “invented” by some hairy arsed argie professor who then has to invent something else to correct a fault in the “new” fibre that the Japanese fibre optic never suffered from.

    So run away and try to get up to speed with what the real world is doing with REAL fibre optic.

    Yeah that happens with a lot of the Rg posters. I think they read the tag lines or the headlines of articles but don't really understand the content and my biggest pet peeve is they use specific legal terms but have absolutely no idea what or how they are supposed to be used and referred to. They think because it sounds like something they assume it means that.

    @ChrisR

    Oh! please explain to us what part I have to learn...

    The true thing is that you have know idea of what a NC is, what a Cmos is a FET is and you always talk from your ass and never provide any evidence of what you assume to know.

    You are going from ignorant to super ignorant...

    Al fiber optics have dispersion and the consequence of that phenomenon is the production of pulse spreading.

    That is what you need boosts idiot that you have already mentioned above. What else a booster is useful for?

    So what Agazzi and his team have invented is a nano chip capable of transmit 40 gigabits per second and 60 gb per second. and also devices to attenuate and correct the dispersion suffered by Fiber optic in really Long distances. So we are talking about thousands of kilometres of distance like in transoceanic communications.

    Oh! I know you are going to start again to talk about your telephony experience in Karachi connecting switchers and all that kind of stuff.

    Come on do it, its is your last change to talk about it.

    BTW you have not provide any evidence about your revolutionary method to produce fiber optic.

    I Just wonder why?

    Oops!

    I found the same video I have posted before but this time with English accent just in case you didn’t understand the previous as the voice in off was an American.

    “He doesn't get any better or understand anymore, no matter what you tell him, does he?”

    The problem with you is that you never say anything. You just like to put in doubt other people post without any logical argument good for a lawyer to create a “reasonable” doubt in count or charlatan politicians.
    But we are not in a court or in a political campaign looking for votes. Do we?

    There is something in science called “counterexample” generally is used to refute, disproves, etc. hypothesis, conjectures, theorems, etc.

    In simple terms, let’s say anything that can be used as argument to refute the conjecture, etc.

    So now again you say that fiber optics are not made the way I said and that I have to learn.

    Well I’m always open to learn show us please the method you know to make fiber optic that its not from a raw tube turned into a pre-form and stretching by gravity.

    Will you please?

    @Captain Poppy

    The same for you mate, I can be a dog hit by a car and paralysed as you say. But you like your Bobos partners never can provide any evidence of what you say.

    You should develop a career as politicians because you boys are good to tell lies and get away without any consequences.

    Think about it. Will you?

    @ChrisRambo,

    Don’t worry I perfectly know what a confidential agreement is and none is asking you to compromise your self in any violation of that agreement even if your “signed agreement” should not be valid anymore.

    I only need the name of the Japanese company that produces that fiber optic so I can email my friend in Germany who is engineer and is specialist in that field and works for Deutsche Telekom I hope you know who they are. Just in case you don’t know, these funny guys that are able to transfer data over a single optical wavelength channel from Berlin to Hanover at speeds up to 512Gbps.

    So he knows about any fiber optic produced in the world and also inspects factories in situ to check quality standard productions, etc.

    So only I need just the name of the company, you will not violate any “confidential agreement” by doing so as company names are in public domain.

    I will be waiting for you reply.

    Thank You in advance.

    The agreement I signed was an 'all enveloping' one and because of that prohibited me from disclosing ANYTHING.

    I realise being an argie by nature, even though you claim to be a kraut, means you believe that signing such an agreement ends when the project is concluded for my part and I am free to say anything I like; you are wrong.

    Anyway, if your professor is any good he will know what SDH means: ask him how many channels he can run down ONE fibre synchronously.

    And if your ‘friend’ is any good he will know who the Japanese company is so just ask him.

    You are a lying Mr. Rambo as always “confidential agreements” are signed with the scope to protect certain data like scientific research results and data, chemical compositions, formulas, software-development information, recipes, laboratory methodology, manufacturing-techniques trade secrets, etc.

    What is the scope to protect the name of the manufacture? Are you idiot or what?

    “Anyway, if your professor is any good he will know what SDH means”

    I don’t need to ask anyone that because I already know that SDH means “Synchronous Digital Hierarchy” and just in case I also know what PDH means “Plesiochronous digital hierarchy” I hope you have any idea of what is “PlesioChronous”. And also SONET “Synchronous Optical Networking” and also PPP, PEAD, PE, PET, PBT, TUTU and COOCOO. Idiot. Ha ha

    Give the name, give the name...

    Ha ha

    BTW as you like Acronyms do you know what means S.U.B.M?

    Someone told me “Sos Un Bobo Mentiroso” should I trust him?

    You are too late with those videos your fellow comrades from British team already posted them since long time ago.

    But you couldn’t find any Turban, Pyjama or kebab shop on Argentine streets.

    I can imagine your fingers are still bleeding trying to fine only, jut only one miserable picture, video, etc. but you miserably failed.

    Don’t worry I can understand you because the same is happening to me while looking for a video or a miserable picture with more than 2 Britons on it.

    Got it I guess I saw 2 in this video, wasn’t so bad after all.

    So Germany and Argentina have no Muslims, or are you in self denial. Post as much as you want about Muslims in the UK -no problem for me.

    The intelligentsia has spoken ! Let me see, kebabs, pyjamas, Mexican born president of the USA, the UK doomed - fill in spurious reasons - preferably racial. Dodge the issue about German and Argentine Muslims. Must think about more immigrants, Polish, Rumanian, South African, Spanish.
    Must troll youtube for more obscure racist videos.
    Argentina -best scientists and inventors in the world way ahead of the UK, will destroy UK with its invisible nuclear arsenal, best loved country in the world, the whole world agrees with everything we say, shining example of western democracy -does Nos agree - talk to him later and apologise. Must remember to use some more ha ha ha - very adult and effective.
    No need to provide actual proof of anything, I am D.B. and the whole world knows that I am right.

    I don't get angry or upset with you - faintly amused and wondering what crap you will peddle next. How can anyone get upset with the entertainment you provide, so, let's hear it for Dany.

    Latest news!

    According with a recent report of the ARG Secret Service there is no need to bomb you with nuclear arsenal anymore.

    They arrived to the conclusion that you only need to be allowed to keep voting and embrace “diversity” for just another 20 years more.

    OK Dany, I will embrace your theory that the UK will be overwhelmed by Muslims. That will include sharia law.
    Very unsympathetic towards unbelievers.
    I will assume that your country will still be wittering on about the Falklands and you will still be making your racist slurs against Muslims,
    Suddenly you will be faced with an UK government who will declare Argentina as the Great Satan and take action against it.
    Suicide bombers in B.A. and other Argentine cities. Your now expanded Muslim population will embrace their UK brothers and start a hijad against the “Christians”
    Makes as much sense as your ideas !
