To Infinity...and Beyond!
Up they go! Taxi prices go up again, today at midnight. The new costs? Up 22.5% to 3.80 pesos to get into a cab and 38 centavos for every 200 meters or minute waiting (the old prices: 3.10 and 31 centavos). When we got here in May 2005 it cost 1.60 pesos to get in, which makes the three year increase, oh, 138%. Luckily, inflation is not a problem (said in the same tone as, "These are not the droids you're looking for.").

ARGENTINA IS BECOMING A SHIT HOLE DAY BY DAY.
If it would only be the price on transportation... How about food, housing, taxes, education, etc.; etc.....? The list goes on forever.
Meanwhile our Lady Cris seems to be living in another planet, deeply concerned about the rally Dakar "criollo", the bullet train, the human rights just at the INTERNATIONAL LEVEL ... and all those big causes. It is a pity that things have got sooo far ....

Inflaction in Argentina is too high....and it's too strange that peso is recoveryng so much against the US$!...It's a non sense!
Just to play devil's advocate here: is anyone considering that fuel prices have rocketed... worldwide, let alone all sorts of comodities. Rice is now expensive! If transport fares don't go up, then they need to be subsidised. It's a catch 22.
