Argentina?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's all relative. I speak to my Greek friends and family, mostly outside of tech, and the sentiment isn't yet as positive as the macro numbers in articles like this indicate. As a diaspora Greek, it's positive news, but it seems this all hasn't "trickled down" to citizens' day to day lives as much. It does give some hope for those who left for economic reasons, and there are even groups out there to encourage a retu…
> It's all relative. Exactly. Like, what was the outlook ten years ago? Possible exit from EU and euro, state bankruptcy, economic and political collapse. The stability and slow economic improvement might be a bad result for many countries, but for Greece it's IMHO a good result (for me, better than expected).
If you're still on X, or subscribe to newsletters, I can recommend The Greek Analyst[0]. He follows a lot of macro trends for Greece and makes an active effort to be a positive voice in the sea of Greek pessimism, including results like these "great result in relative context" pieces.
I'm half Greek, so obviously a little bias. But would love to see a more thriving tech scene in Athens. It's a cool city, with great night-life, great restaurants, and stunning places nearby, not yet super gentrified and obviously also has some archaeological sites. But it's not just 2000 years old history (yes, it's partly also pretty run-down, bureaucracy is a night-mare, etc.) Generally speaking, it's usually sunn…
And better remote working conditions could be a way to diversify the islands economy beyond Summers.

Argentina?
After all, Argentina has sold a lot of state-owned enterprises this year. Having so much one-time income will definitely make the economy look better. As for the future, who cares? https://www.worldoil.com/news/2024/2/8/argentina-plans-sweep...
Most of the information on this is in German but people should be aware of this before considering Germany as a place to start a company. You can read more here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wegzugsbesteuerung or here (English): https://www.winheller.com/en/tax-law-tax-advisory/internatio...

There are some meetups and groups here and there to my knowledge, just not always well known unless you go out of your way to find them.
Argentina?
Some neoconservative politician roleplaying as an anarchist reached the country's top office. He's privatising everything on a speedrun, weakening all labour regulations, waging an economic war against China, the country's top economic partner, and promised he would forfeit the country's currency to the Americans by switching to dollars. So ig for foreign investors its now or never to plunder what's left of Argentina…
I don't know, maybe what a country with great demographics and decent territory needs in this situation is a healthy dose of western/american capitalism.
I would also much rather be allied to US agendas than to Chinese agendas ANY DAY.
