    Don't be silly..., Shicuréo...
    Try to use the lobe of your brain not destroyed by ya' Shilean Naval Academy's deducation...

    Firstly..., a “De Facto” dollarization was instaured in Argentina during the nineties by “La Bolocco” hubbie..., remember...?
    - Argentina was then one of the ten most expensive countries in the world with over 50% poverty and 60% desocupation..., remember...?
    - Argentina's 10% well off..., privileged citizens invaded your thin, long Country almost every weekend to buy three exemplars of whatever we fancied..., just for the fun of it with our extremly overvalued 1Peso=1Dollar..., remember...?

    Secondly...., Dollarization has proven to be the path for disaster..., hermanito..., just look NORTH...
    NORTH to Ecuador... How is it going for them after 23 years of DollRization..., huhhhhh...?
    NORTH to El Salvador... How is it going for them after 22 years of DollRization..., huhhhhh...?
    NORTH to Panamá... How is it going for them after 120 years of DollRization..., huhhhhh...?

    Capisce...?

    Dear Tænk

    I realize surrendering your national currency is a disaster, but so is the current mess...

    An anti-inflationary plan is needed, but obviously that won't happen until a new government takes over in December.

    What is YOUR solution?

    Hermanito...

    - For starters..., any solution of mine would certainly NOT include bathing at Puchuncavi just because its waters are significantly warmer than those of Viña...

    Dear Tænk

    Let me know what you propose because I see no reasonable solution, unless the Virgin Maria descends from Heaven with a trillion dollars...

    Meanwhile I'm personally concerned about the current weather forecast about the 18th holiday...

    ...looks like rain...

    Of course I have little sympathy for your closed mind mentality about servicing your country's outrageous spending...

    ...even Argentines know that their Peso is nearly worthless - unless your new government radically changes...

    Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is an idiot...

    You say...:
    “Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is an idiot...”

    I say...:
    - Ya're probably right...
    After all she's just a young WOMAN...
    After all she's just a first gen. latino WETBACK...
    After all she'Sjust from the Bronx..., living on her WAITRESS tips..

    - Never mind though that she interned for Ted Kennedy as a teenager..., received a Full Scholarship to Boston University (one of World's Top 100 ) and graduated “Cum Laude” with a “Double Major” in International Relations and Economics ...

    (Geeeeeee..., I luuuuuuuv that “Idiot”..., even if I feel saddened about her falling in line with her party's extreme warmongering position on the Ukrainia- Russia conflict...)

    No one seems to have a valid argument why Argentina should not adopt the US$...

    Unfortunately AOC has adopted the warmonger position of both political parties against the Russian Federation - which is a terrible decision.

    The Ukrainian conflict is a crime to humanity and the Russians are being unfairly treated by the press.

    This morning's breakfast was Belgian waffles with blueberries and sour cream, accompanied with Bailey's coffee.

    ...and I'm very proud to be a “ruralist”...

    “This morning's breakfast was ... accompanied with Bailey's coffee.”

    “My occasional enjoyment of Baileys coffee” ” I’m on my third Baileys coffee this brilliant morning ... brewed coffee with about a quarter of the mug with room temperature Balieys(sic).“

    So in the morning you have according to your own words, consumed three quarters of a mug of brandy.

    “I’m on my third Baileys coffee this brilliant morning ... brewed coffee with about a quarter of the mug with room temperature Baileys” Which means at that time in the morning
    you had consumed 262.5ml at probably 40% vol. alcohol.

    “I've been surprisingly disproved as someone has been drinking way too much eggnog this evening and is behaving like a mean drunk on these joyous days.”

    Go on crawl back into your bottle you pathetic drunk.

    You'll note that Skippy still cannot explain how an deceased RAF Airman who served during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis is residing in Utah, USA...

    A full history of Skippy's YouTube antics are easily assessed...

    Skippy's Mormon religion is clearly evident in his vitriol...

    “Skippy still cannot explain how an deceased RAF Airman who served during the 1962.”

    No proof, no truth.

    What other response would you expect from your muse who has never been here. But then your not all here.
