I actually spent about half an hour in Buenos Aires. My flight into the international airport was late, so about 20 of us missed our connection to Monte Video and got taken across the city to the national airport for the next flight over the river.
Oh yeah, they also pay $6/gallon for gas in Uruguay. Over half of that is government taxes. So they all drive these shitty little hatches. I saw one 1.8T Jetta and it seriously stuck out like a big pimp car, kind of like if we were to see a Maybach cruising around Buffalo.
It’s not even that they don’t work hard there, there do. (I’ve been places that are third world because the people don’t want to work.) They just have nowhere to go. God bless this country and its spoiled citizens and its structure that makes it possible for anyone to be successful. You know why we have an obesity problem? Because we can!
