  • Summary

  • The Velvet Hammer Episode 14: This week begins with an anecdote about college parties in a US private university that morphed into talking about drinking and driving law. In some states you could drive with a beer in hand? While on travel, we shared a little of what we know about the Argentine train system, bringing in news from our friend who works there. Transitioning to politics, we wonder what’s in store for the people in poverty here as winter comes, although Milei’s austerity measures are popular with the rich – many can’t afford warm clothing, or heating for their homes. Meanwhile, JP Morgan Argentina says the country will have access to capital markets soon, maybe that changes something? And as California increases minimum wage, does that mean fast food chains are finally going to go full robotic? Just before predictions, we marvel at Taiwan’s buildings still standing at terrifying angles after an earthquake tragically stuck the country.


    Coming every Thursday, this is The Velvet Hammer with your hosts, Jonny, Tom, & Tadeo, three American expats recording from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Brought to you by One Eleven Entertainment.
