@NicoAIQ Do you know what province?

Sunflower harvest in north Argentina.

@JakeNomada 1. You forgot the chocolate. 2. Cold is an issue? That's when we went. Incredible. 3. Great hiking in the area also.

🇦🇷 BARILOCHE, ARGENTINA 🇦🇷 One of my favorite spots in the Southern Cone™ → Population: 150K+ → Year-round tourism infrastructure → Swiss-style architecture → Direct access to Patagonian lakes + mountains → 2 hours from Chile border → Solid restaurants and nightlife for the size → Cerro Catedral = largest ski resort in South America → Safe and walkable → Cool climate escape when rest of LatAm is melting Issue? Winter gets COLD. Like actually cold. Not LatAm cold, but real winter So you'd need to either: - Embrace the winter sports lifestyle - Only come during the summer months School me on Bariloche... Who's spent serious time there?

@Nicksdankmemes3 @RandPaul @joerogan Yes please.

@RandPaul @joerogan AWESOME. We know what needs to happen next…

Grateful to @joerogan for having me on the show. I enjoyed the opportunity to sit down with Joe and delve into the issues. Give it a watch or listen and let me know what you think. youtu.be/koSIQ-ASW8k or on Spotify.

@BasilTheGreat I love how the police are running trying to keep up with him. I was just at the Casa Rosada this Thursday, the place looks very different from just two years ago. Milei is cleaning things up. Also crime is down as well.

🚨JAVIER MILEI HALVES POVERTY IN ARGENTINA His approval ratings have skyrocketed to 60% Poverty fell from 30% to 17% Extreme poverty fell from 11% to 5% Capitalism wins again The left are in meltdown

@WeaselArmy @TRobinsonNewEra @janiveer14 Because over 7 million have fled the country for the last 15 years fleeing crippling socialism, and political persecution. This is about 20% of the population.

Venezuelans residing in Chile have taken to the streets of Santiago to protest following the capture of Nicolás Maduro by the United States.

@4Veinteuy @ladymarketok They have nukes.

Cómo vas a defender una dictadura de 27 años la re conch4 de tu hermana!!! ????

@A_Y_Rafindadi 1 Timothy 3:16 "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory."

CHALLENGE: I’ll convert to Christianity this Christmas—IF anyone can answer this girl’s question sincerely. Watch till the very end 🫱🏼‍🫲🏻

@Rainmaker1973 It's a beautiful city. Incredible Gothic Cathedral there.

La Plata, Argentina, is a planned city, urban planning paradigm of the late 19th century, designed in a very strict grid-pattern form, and with many avenues and diagonals. This is a night view from above.

@dogwoodblooms I was born in Franklin and grew up in Nantahala. Thanks for posting this about the Chief Junaluska. Great stuff.

Have you ever heard of Junaluska? Junaluska was a Cherokee warrior from Franklin, North Carolina. He fought alongside Andrew Jackson against the Creek during the War of 1812 at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, and saved the future president’s life. Years later, Junaluska and Jackson met again during the Indian Removal of 1838. Jackson reportedly told the man who had once saved his life: “Sir, your audience is ended. There is nothing I can do for you.” Junaluska was incarcerated with other members of the Cherokee at Fort Montgomery near Robbinsville - he was then forced to walk the Trail of Tears. In 1847, Colonel William Holland Thomas, an adopted Cherokee member, pled for Junaluska’s return. In response, the NC legislature rewarded Junaluska for his service, granting him state citizenship and property in Robbinsville. Junaluska died on November 20, 1858. A memorial was erected by the DAR near his gravesite in 1910 - and Lake Junaluska in Maggie Valley carries his name.

@Bumperpunk @AntiTrumpCanada Add reducing record high inflation to the list.

@AntiTrumpCanada The "circus" that guy is running has been to totally transform the Argentinian economy, leading to record growth, debt reduction, corruption elimination and the resurgence of Argentina as a country where kids can still hope for a bright future full of opportunity.

If I were American, I’d be fucking pissed knowing $40 billion in taxpayer money is going to whatever circus this fucking clown is running.

My maternal grandfather learned upholstery in High Point, and returned to the mountains and worked in furniture the rest of his working life. I began helping him and my mom from 11 years old until I moved off for college. My paternal grandfather was an engineer for Baker's Furniture in Andrews until the plant closed down and moved overseas. Trade agreements like NAFTA have greatly harmed rural economies.

Fun fact: The furniture industry has been a part of North Carolina’s heritage since colonial times. Thomas Day? He was one of the most celebrated furniture makers of all time. He called NC home. Our state was so vital to furniture production that in the 1980s, we were known as the Furniture Capital of the World because we produced 50% of the furniture sold in the USA. 💫 Sadly, that all came to a crashing end in the 1990 as Chinese furniture began invading our markets. By 2016, 73.5% of American furniture was imported. The result has been devastating to our local population and culture. I’m all for making the NC furniture industry great again. 💁🏼‍♀️

Great. Now... 1. Send the CEO packing. This was a big mistake with a lot of money wasted. 2. Get rid of alcohol. 3. Make the food from scratch. 4. Have someone from Chic-fil-a management to retrain management in Cracker Barrel. BTW I love Cracker Barrel. It's one of my families favorite places to eat. I love it so much I have a little stock I'm still holding on to in hopes that it turns around. Stop focusing on expansion, and draw back in your base. Focus on customer service, and food quality. DO NOT give in to woke policies (rainbow rocking chairs). Fringe groups didn't build Cracker Barrel harding working, patriotic, families did. I'm pulling for you Cracker Barrel.

Like any good relationship, sometimes you just need a little tune-up. We’re going back to the things that made us all fall in love in the first place.

@NewReaganCaucus Some deranged murderer did kill Charlie Kirk, but MANY on the left cheered. That is the problem.

No, the "Left" didn't kill Charlie Kirk. Some deranged murderer did. If we don't recognize that, we're no better than our worst political opponents.

Eating out is basically like eating out in the states now. Grocery prices are a little bit lower. Gas is about $3.46 a gallon. Rent is still MUCH better than the states. Clothes are about double. Things like lawnmowers doble or more. Import taxes are high, but the president has lowered them on many things like cars, and tech.

6. European quality in South America: - European-style infrastructure still at emerging market prices - Universal healthcare system included - Incredible food and wine… It used to be a top arbitrage location. It still could be but prices can be on par with the US now it seems.

This is Argentina: - Inflation down from 211% to 47% - First budget surplus in over a decade - New $500K citizenship-by-investment program Previously socialist, it's now THE libertarian experiment in the Americas. Here 8 reasons why Argentina deserves your attention:

Yes rent controls were abolished, but we haven't seen the prices fall. My friend's rent has gone up 62.% just this last year. A building that I am currently renting has gone up 20% so far this year. On the plus side, people can get mortgages which has not been possible until now. A lot of buying and building currently.

5. The Libertarian success: - 2 regulations removed daily (366 articles in first "Megadecree") - Rent controls abolished (supply 3x'd, prices dropped 30%) - 18 ministries slashed to 8, 50,000 government jobs cut One of the most aggressive deregulation experiments of our time.

@AmericaPapaBear Yes, there was a squirrel attack in Mississippi many years ago, and Ray Stevens even wrote a song about it.

Doorbell camera catches man getting attacked by a squirrel. Have you ever seen a squirrel like this?

@TheChiefNerd Tell that to Appalachian people who saw textile and manufacturing jobs go overseas leaving towns and communities with little to nothing.

Scott Galloway Argues Against Bringing Manufacturing Jobs Back to the U.S. 🤔 “We have outsourced low wage jobs overseas such that we can create more profits, more investments and create higher wage jobs”

@LakeShowYo Did he win MVP that night?

OKC fan said he was talking shit to Luka and when Luka responded the ref ejected him for no reason 💀

@mnwickens It is the Red Light Special. Means that stocks are all on sale.
