Well, for starters, a good landlord usually owns an apartment that you'd want to live in.

Here is the lead paragraph from the article you quoted. Or in English For someone with a basic knowledge of math, this means that tourism numbers were increasing by about 2% monthly over last year, but they plummeted by about 9% in February 2024 right after the Milei election. However, I don't...

I think you found the most important criteria to find out how the new president is doing: cheap Pad Thai and maybe also cheap pumpkin lattes. This is what Argentines really care about.

So, if someone lists 1 kg of rice for 1 million pesos on MercadoLibre, will the price of rice be 1 million pesos per kilo? Coto: 2.2 USD / 1kg of rice (without discount)...

I don't think these SAD lamps are sold here. Probably the closest thing, light-wise, would be a lamp for indoor plant growing. I'm not sure whether it is appropriate for human use at all. But you can search for something like 'lámpara cultivos' or 'lámpara crecimiento'.
