I’m in Buenos Aires for a talk tomorrow at a gathering sponsored by Clarin, the biggest media outfit in the region. The company just made big changes to its website, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary. (Note: The company has paid for my trip.)
Enjoyed a very long lunch today with some folks from the news operation plus several other speakers. We ate steak, needless to say here, and I learned that one of the big current stories is that Argentina has suspended beef exports. Apparently lots of land that had been used for cattle is now going for soybean production, I was told, and beef prices are soaring.
I don’t eat a lot of red meat, but I’ll continue to make an exception on this brief visit.
