It's not 'unfortunate'. It's what latam is worth. Virtually nothing!

Dec 05th, 2014 - 03:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina has shown it can systematically shut down all trade with the EU, USA, and even with Mercosur... and life goes on.
The “foreign” products we were told we would so desperately need seem to be completely unneeded after all. More proof that Europeans build absolutely nothing worthy of note, and the USA produces completely third rate, and superfluous products with no use in actual productive life.

Smells like envy in your post. Argentina has cut trade in the billions with other countries, and the disaster everyone had predicted from not having those ”godly' Products never came. People adjust, that's the variable you tossers forgot.

Dec 05th, 2014 - 04:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Sure, “and life goes on”....getting worse and worse. Or maybe you are still too young to have seen Argentina in its better days, which would explain why you find 'being in the shit', quite normal.
Because it has an inflation of failed-states:

@5. How are you doing with your 40% inflation? Your falling output? Your lack of dollars? No loans except from the commies who plan on owning you?

Dec 05th, 2014 - 07:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I wonder how the bond swop is getting on, I hear that the bondholders ( bonds maturing in 2015 ) have been asked if they want to cash in now and accept 98% of their worth now or wait until maturity or swop their bonds now for bonds maturing in 2024. Christ good luck with that, it's like “ kicking the can down the road ” so the the next government will have to pay. They are completely fucked up.
no. 7 COLOMBIA? A failed state? I really don't think you can claim that!

You are right...but you obviously don't think like the useless masses, who will do anything - except work - to get something for nothing. That's how, through empty promises, these unscrupulous politicians get into power...and once there, the masses keep on applauding them.... big contradiction, only explained by enormous ignorance, like that of the 'brasileiro' above.
