But the socialists will tell you they are not socialist. I am yet to hear the socialists tell us who is socialist though. They define it so narrowly that there has never been a socialist country in the history of the world.

Today, approximately 180,500 Jews live in Argentina, down from 310,000 in the early 1960s. (And is being reduced yearly by an ethnicity that knows it is no longer welcome.) Argentina’s Jewish population is the largest in Latin America, and the third-largest in the Americas (after that of the United States and Canada).

Argentinian media said that this increase could partly be due to a sharp hike in the price of meat

Only government can create inflation.

Without government-created inflation, meat prices might well rise because of low supply, but other prices would have to fall.

ARGENTINA has already cleaned out all private pension accounts/saving accounts/,money market accounts-——

2 TIMES in the past.

People went to bed Fri night with $$$ in their accounts. MONDAY MORNING—accounts were ZERO

OBAMA & PELOSI threatened to do the same in the USA-—”TO PAY THE NATIONAL DEBT”.

Now— it appears Argentina is about to do it AGAIN.

Bariloche is on my bucket list, as well as Patagonia.

Bariloche is on my bucket list, as well. I'd like to do a month down there spending time in BA, Cordoba and Bariloche. I think I'm past my prime for hiking and wish I would have done it when I was younger as I love the outdoors. The above is my “old lady trip” that I'd be very happy with. The blue dollar rate right now is insane and realistically, would cause many trips to the “cambia” or Western Union simply due to the stack of pesos to transport. I understand they're rolling out a blue rate for credit cards but it won't be the same as WU or the Cambia hawkers.
