BWA HA HA...!!!
I am not sure they have the U$ to buy what they need but with businesses grinding to a halt and if the winter is mild they may not have a problem heating homes.

And how much is De Vido skimming off the top of these “projects”???

May 27th, 2014 - 12:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0BTW I think the standard “management fee” is 15% of the gross.
Isn't this the year when there are supposed to be a number of gas imports via tankers? Be a shame if they were “held up”. Perhaps, if the Paris Club doesn't get full payment, it will take the gas instead and sell it elsewhere! How should it work? “Your gas”? “Whose money did you use to buy it”? “Our gas then”.
May 27th, 2014 - 05:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0DeVito may want to let the kids at waiting for surgery in La Plata that there's no problem with gas supplies.
May 27th, 2014 - 06:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They had to cancel all surgeries until further notice since they have no heat and are worried about hypothermia for their very ill patients.
Socialism at its best
“while Energy Secretary Daniel Cameron described the “situation as the best in the last four years”.”
May 27th, 2014 - 10:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0OMG, from an atheist :o) the poor bastards of got a Cameron as well!
Now they are really fucked.
But back to reality: when are they going to tell people the real truth which is going to be self evident very soon indeed – there’s no money for anything (except for TMBOA and her viperous brood)?

Please don't tell me everyone in the US has healthacare, millions don't and millions more do not get the care needed because they have to pay, since they cannot, they get priced out.
Makes no difference what the means are, the end is the same.

Hmm, Canada is a Capitalist country,
-large land mass
- long coastlines for shipping and fishing
- vast agricultural area
- large oil and gas reserves
- 35m population
- small military
- Gov't subsidised University
- Gov't health insurance
- Democracratic, Constitutional Monarchy
- FTA Agreements with the US, UK, and EU
- wants to annex some small Islands, T&Caicos, a BOT, only if the residents self-determine that is what they want, though.
- it seems that everyone has medical coverage, in Canada... oh, and homes, hospitals and businesses heated.
How does that work???
Hint:
Can anyone pick out the items on the list that differ from Argentina??
All of them...

May 28th, 2014 - 11:44 am - Link - Report abuse 0Someday you should travel to see what a civilized country looks like. I think like most South American 3rd Worlders your jaw will hit the ground and you'll be desperate to stay at any cost.
Just look to the 100s of thousands of illegal Rgs we have to know that is true.
BTW the gov't is warning business that there will be restricted nat gas next week. I am sure it will be a good time to layoff a few 100 thousand more people.
I hope you have a good month of freezing temps in BA. That should get the ball rolling quite nicely.
Bad Times in Buenos Aires.

People from the center-north of Argentina (including Bs As) will not suffer that much. Winters there are quite mild. In Patagonia and in the Andes things will be far worse since its really cold there.
