Today’s blog post is about why Argentina and Japan are the only interesting countries if you want to know about (under)development in the 20th century.

There was a big reversal of fortune between them. open.substack.com/pub/thepoorr... 1/

“preparing a plan” my ass www.usaid.gov
On Friday, February 7, 2025, at 11:59 pm (EST) all USAID direct hire personnel will be placed on administrative leave globally, with the exception of designated personnel responsible for mission-critical functions, core leadership and specially designated programs. Essential personnel expected to continue working will be informed by Agency leadership by Thursday, February 6, at 3:00pm (EST). For USAID personnel currently posted outside the United States, the Agency, in coordination with missions and the Department of State, is currently preparing a plan, in accordance with all applicable requirements and laws, under which the Agency would arrange and pay for return travel to the United States within 30 days and provide for the termination of PSC and ISC contracts that are not determined to be essential. The Agency will consider case-by-case exceptions and return travel extensions based on personal or family hardship, mobility or safety concerns, or other reasons. For example, the Agency will consider exceptions based on the timing of dependents’ school term, personal or familial medical needs, pregnancy, and other reasons. Further guidance on how to request an exception will be forthcoming. Thank you for your service.

Their close school ties are now under intense scrutiny.

🇦🇷🇪🇺 It's cheaper to buy Argentina's new football jersey in Europe than in Argentina, even with the most generous exchange rate (€1 = $ 1200).
At $ 149k the shirt costs about half the minimum monthly wage in Argentina.
