Having had quite a bit of experience with so called "third world" communities I enjoy the fact that they are not potentially (and often practically) less wedded to a particular system and opposed to change. Certainly not the case in the Western Europe or America where capitalism seems to have won.Andrew Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10698039469832568472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145337593058073592.post-72759130973190352202008-07-25T17:06:00.000-03:002008-07-25T17:06:00.000-03:00I have to agree with "restless retiree"...The goal...I have to agree with "restless retiree"...The goal of the party in power is to line their pockets. I think the next crisis will probably hit us by 2009. <BR/><BR/>I am an American from CA living in BA since 1989. I am here by choice and very happily enjoying all the positive aspects of the country. <BR/><BR/>For Argentinians the crisis will be another bleep in history. For expats hopefully just another lesson in third world politics. <BR/><BR/>A mini vacation of 6 months just may change your opinion on what you wrote today. Learn to speak Spanish and attempt to socialize with locals. This will be an education in itself. And isn't it what living abroad at your age is all about???<BR/><BR/>Good luckallegrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401808419246404664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145337593058073592.post-86252386765544584872008-07-24T20:22:00.000-03:002008-07-24T20:22:00.000-03:00When I read this I had to double check that you we...When I read this I had to double check that you were actually referring to Argentina. Your take on the situation here is about 180 degrees from reality in my opinion.<BR/>About the only thing that is being built here is a second economic collapse along the lines of 2001.<BR/><BR/>You hope her planned reforms can still be carried out. What reforms are these? This will be news to everyone here. <BR/><BR/>How does nationalizing an airline with public monies make sense in a country with limited resources and poverty rate of 30% and rising? How much more money will it take to keep this afloat in the future? <BR/><BR/>With a little bit of luck the collapse will occur while you are here. I will love to see you take when that occurs.Restless Retireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07154558074681019524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145337593058073592.post-74602297758906002492008-07-24T11:10:00.000-03:002008-07-24T11:10:00.000-03:00Good luck with you trip.
