    The unemployment rate appears to be at least double judging by the amount of people that are lurking in the streets late at night, and wondering around aimlessly during work hours.

    I'll believe it when it's true.

    And restaurants are closing due to high costs and laying people off...then there are the things you can't buy because they are imports and stores are empty of stock and customers.

    What she fails to tell you is that the agency tells you that you are not in the system forcing you back to the employer so many times until you give up trying to get that amazing sum of 430 pesos a month.

    Now that the Cedin scam didn't work BCRA is so short of cash they're thinking of only paying the armers U$400/ton for SOY rather than the U$500 that the market demands.
    So what will happen next year, no wheat, no corn, no soy, no U$.
    That'll be fun to watch

    She inagurated a restaurant in the pink house, where only the people of the government can eat for 3 $ a whole meal. Lovely, because with 3 $ you cant buy in the rest of real Argentina, one alfajor, one litter of milk, perhaps you can buy a little candy, well perhaps two.
    Thats the way, you can understand how the people of the government earns money, to then go on vacations to exotic places, like this man so corrupt, how is his name, ALperovich, or her daughter to Paris, etc etc.
    Maximo has 20 appartments does he pays impuesto a las gannacias??? DOes he pay sth for 20 appartments??Who has 20 appartments in Arg

    I am waiting for the inevitable announcement from INDEC that unemployment has fallen to - 4% (that's MINUS 4%).

    Won't that be grand and utterly believable too? Well at least as believable as this twaddle.

    19. I think that is all that is left on this board. The very very stupid and nationalistic Rgs who are going to shocked, shocked I tell you, that the great leader has absconded with Billions and left them with nothing, no food, no fuel, no money.
    It is worse than I imagined just a few years ago.

    IMF calls time on madey-up stats from INDEC. Threat of sanctions if not forthcoming.

    The Alpaca look-alike (no disrespect to Alpacas) has threatened all kinds of things that the IMF will do, BUT so far has failed to do.

    WHEN they do something about The Dark Country I will be interested to see what happens next.

    4 pints (2.3) litres of milk in Aldi England is £1, approx 8 pesos. At other supermarkets its 12 pesos. RGland is expensive! RG wine and produce here is decreasing although there is no boycott one could easily be organised.
