fraggie. Maduro was elected - with a larger margin the Pinera or Trump. Just a detail.

Interesting information Space Cat. To at46. Yes, I see that. Thank you. I hadn't thought that OZ was "gone" but truly their economy is more connected with China. Yes, I did read Tolstoy. Interesting to continue the parallel. Napoleon attacked Russia unprepared, just as he attacked Egypt unprepared. ...

to at46. Yes it is a massive attack and I agree that it would be better if Mr. P stays on for a time. I'm just trying to get my mind around the totality. Bolsanaro in Brazil, palling up with Blackstone to burn the Amazon. Peru in chaos. Ecuador in a possible revolution to fight off the IMF. Election...

That's pretty good lost gringo. Did you watch Houston-NY last night? All I could find was football.

Yes. It looks very bad. Regarding Correa's loan programs with China.. Well there was a completely manageable payment schedule to payoff by 2024. What Moreno has now is a $4.2 billion loan from IMF which requires a really brutal austerity program plus another $6 billion in loans from various agencies...

I get what's going on in ecuador, colombia, argentina, and brazil, but peru to me is a mystery. There seem to be frequent changes of president and lots of accusations of corruption with few asso...

to 41southpole... I see you still have that burr up yr butt. Prolly mommi wasn't nice to you when you were a little jerk.

You guys are all so depressing in your attack mode "is it or isn't it." Can't we just agree to pick up the garbage? Chill? Be nicer to each other? Clean up your room?

Atlanta - I dropped my US coverage - which was expensive, hard to use and had high deductibles, and got coverage here from BanMedica which is associated with Clinica Santa Maria. The cost was less than 15% of US (no dental but I have never in life had dental coverage) AND I had a pre-existing condit...

to mem OK tell me, what are the unwritten rules???? It all seems very changeable. I used to receive packages every three of four weeks via Fedex with a declared value of less than $30. Mostly books. These packages would clear the aduana no problem. This year, EVERY package, regardless of value, has ...
