Parts of SA like Uruguay and Argentina are supposedly pretty white and not tthat bad. Probably less woke too.

Uruguayans and Argies would not pass any kind of historical whiteness standards in the US for the most part. I can tell you that based on the genetic data. Especially Argies. A good number of Uruguayan whites probably are genuinely white though. Argies too if they are of recent immigrant stock from Europe. Which some are.

Good question. Probably not South Americans for one.

Though I dunno. I'm probably wrong there.

Cheap Third World places seem to be popular with rich or retired expats, digital nomads, or in the case of South America: fleeing National Socialists. I know Costa Rica is popular with Americans to live.

What's your point?

1 AUD = 27.139 UYU
1 DEM = 23.4713 UYU

Their cost of living is comparable to their wages relative to the wester infaltion. Uruguay is experiencing the same hyperinflation and devaluing of current and realtime wage growth, with the same extreme living pressures we are experiencing here. Except, they don't have national purchasing power to import into the country most goods they can't produce themselves.

If anything its worse there than in Melbourne or Berlin, because Uruguayan rent is 1/3 cheaper than our rent but the exchange change rate is 30x worse.

UYU 23,604 / 4.3 weeks (average weeks in a month)
The median weekly employee earnings in Melbourne was $1,396 = 37,484.204 Uruguayan Pesos

Therefor their wage is 62% of a median salary in Melbourne, their rent is reflected by approximately a decrease in rent by 30%. They are experiencing the exact same living pressures.

Are you going to Sundance kid to Río de la Plata?

My point relates to discussion on this thread:

https://www.upgoat.net/viewpost?postid=6810ba3e35119

Basically as I noted there if you're an expat retiree or similar it pays to live there. In so many words you confirmed that. As the Numbeo links note the purchasing power sucks.

Uruguay is White, that's about it. It is an economic disaster without an export market, and most people can't afford decent quality food or have the option of full-time employment.

The grass is always greener I guess.

economic disaster

Tbf that's where Australia is headed when (if/probably) Albo gets in. Or the bald potato.

I've come across discussions on X about Aussies planning to move to Thailand, Vietnam etc. Never thought about Uruguay. Might be nicer than Thailand or Vietnam.

I have relos there, its fucked. Better to arm up and guillotine WEF faggots here. IO'd do it today if we had covid marches in the 1M range where I knew the simps would cripple me financially.
