Collaborating with @posterghost_ has been such a treat. Over the past few years I’ve been helping with his upcoming EP by tracking guitars and developing his creative vision. I’m grateful to be living in a time where I am able to make music with a friend who lives on the opposite side of the country. This is “Escape Rat” 🐀

Argentina is one of the few countries where someone can tell you, with absolute conviction, that the nation is doomed, then spend the next 40 minutes explaining why it’s the greatest place on Earth. 🇦🇷

That contradiction isn’t hypocrisy. It’s history.

In the early 1900s, Argentina was among the world’s more prosperous countries. Buenos Aires built itself like a European capital. Argentina potencia became part of the national imagination. Then came generations of political upheaval, inflation, devaluations and broken promises.

Something remarkable happened to the national character.

People learned to improvise. To read the dollar like a weather forecast. To distrust institutions but trust a cousin who knows a guy. To turn a bureaucratic nightmare into a personal challenge.

They also developed a particular kind of intimacy.

An argument can be affection. A three-hour sobremesa can be therapy. A mate passed around a circle says more about belonging than a hundred introductions. And in Buenos Aires, a conversation about your ex can turn into a full psychological assessment before the coffee arrives.

There is a cost to all this adaptability. When everyone gets brilliant at navigating a broken system, fixing the system can become less urgent.

And still, the people who leave often spend years trying to recreate the feeling of home somewhere else.

That’s the Argentine paradox: you can lose faith in the country’s institutions without losing your love for the country itself.

These are cultural patterns, not rules. Córdoba, Salta, Mendoza and Buenos Aires have their own personalities.

AG helps foreigners navigate Argentine residency and citizenship by option.

‼️ MAJOR BREAKING: “Elbows up” just ran into Elon Musk.

Carney in September: “Starlink, we will diversify away from, no question.”

Today: the federal contract with Starlink has grown more than TENFOLD & could run until 2029 (source: IJF)

And the “Canadian alternative” Telesat, ran by Carney’s good friend, that’s backed by $2.54 BILLION in government loans & a $2.3 BILLION defence contract…

Want to know how Telesat gets it’s satellites to space?

14 SpaceX Falcon 9 launches.

There’s NO diversifying or getting away from Musk, who I might remind you, is a Canadian citizen.

THE LIBERALS BOOED ELON IN PUBLIC BUT THEY KEPT PAYING HIM IN PRIVATE.

Elbows up was always a sham.
