    Well that's a nothing post.
    Pleased you got it off your chest?

    Incase you haven't noticed, your post has less substance than 9fingers.

    If NZF is the handbrake on the Nat/ACT clown car - is Winston the knob on the end?

    Argentina is a great place to invest currently though, privitisations and neoliberalism = a feeding frenzy for us foreign investors.
    Argentina is NOT a great place to invest. Ive had business involvement there for 16 years and believe you me, its difficult.
    When I started there in 2007, USD1 = 3 pesos. Today it is somewhere around 1000 pesos.
    Current inflation is somewhere around 130% but noone really knows.

    The number if people in poverty is rising exponentially. Very sad.

    You literally get nothing done, without paying bribes. A sad fact of life.

    Argentina has now voted a bit of a crazy bugger as President. But it is a direct result of the last couple of nearly uninterrupted decades of left wing militant and totally corrupt Government. Sadly I think they will vote for them again in 4 or 8 years time and the economy never gets fixed.

    Sounds about on the money .. Chile isn't much better next door either

    The long lingering Argentine wishlist of the Falklands still lingers on some 40 or so years
    later too, after delivery of a robust warning from Britain and then further reminders

    Who knows but for 1982, Argentina may have seen completely different economic fortunes.


    Off topic we are, but Argentina's economic fortunes seem to follow some of same lines
    of economic stupidity as Labour's here over a mere 6 years .. perhaps a few borrowed
    pages by Robbo & the RB along the way on how to send things down the longdrop in
    record quick time, forget thought of tomorrow - the mess landing in someone elses lap

    A new government from next week and it’s excellent that the three parties have taken their time to negotiate a workable coalition which will last for the next 9 years at least.

    The monumental messes left behind by the completely clueless but arrogant & divisive Ardern, Hipkins and the Labour government are going to take years to sort out.

    Here’s the latest on just how addicted to WASTEFUL spending Labour was :

    https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/te-wha...AL3ANKJUIXCDU/
    Paywalled

    “Te Whatu Ora - Health New Zealand spent more than $100 million on consultants in the past year despite a commitment to crack down on external staff.”

    “Of that total, $70m went to the “big four” firms. Deloitte were by far the biggest beneficiaries, paid $43.6m by Te Whatu Ora in the past year alone, up from $34m the previous year and $19m the year before.”

    Dreams are free. How workable remains to be seen.

    Thanks for reminding us for as we all know :

    Ardern’s dreams were not only just cloud cuckoo land dreams but they were horrendously expensive - NZers had to pay dearly and will be paying for generations to come.

    Ardern reaped the benefit while NZers pay. Clever huh?

    Be kind!

    One source of truth!

    Most transparent government ever!

    100,000 Kiwibuild homes!

    Criminals are victims of crime too!
