“ready for sea trials” We have heard that echoed time and time again for what, the past four years? And this country thinks it's deserving of a rain of dollars?

Sounds like Argentina is starting to get their shit together, after 10 years of CFK's corruption.

I agree Kanye, it just cannot happen over night. Just as if the USA and Trump makes a full term, it will take quite some time to repair the damage he has and will continue to make. The path of Trump's destruction will be widespread. Just the corporate crime alone they his administration recently opened and will allow to happen is mind boggling. Well Fargo is AOK in Trumps world.
Yes, Argentina is moving forward and in the right direction, as the USA reverses course......the irony.

Capt. Poppy,

Ironic indeed that Argentina moves forward by making reforms to worker productivity and efficiency, and lessening systemic corruption whilst US “reforms” favouring corporations will shoot them in the foot.
