I heard a similar argument recently, paraphrasing: "One should not travel to Argentina right now just because it's cheaper, it's exploitation".

- kragen 7y agoI think the argument is not merely that it's cheaper, but that the agreement amounts to an unfair sale of future tax revenues (presumably to win support for the current president, who is on his way to losing the runoffs and being replaced in two months). That is, not only are the tax concessions a bad deal for Argentina, but the people who get stuck with that bad deal aren't even the ones making it. That's not the case if you come buy some empanadas and ice cream and have your cellphone stolen (the standard Argentine vacation).
