Damián y el precio del detergente

Nos venimos a enterar por los buenazos del New York Times que el compañero (?) Damián Vázquez (nunca un nombre y apellido complicado que se pueda googlear, otra que el Cacho de Mauricio) sufre el tener que aumentar los productos de su casa de artículos de limpieza "Cuando los precios se estabilizan un poco, no tardo en volver a remarcar" nos dicen que dice. Acá la nota.

Si no tiene ganas de traducir compañero, espere un poco que seguro en un rato Clarín ya la replica, hasta con su propia interpretación del inglés y todo, mire.

Acá uno de los párrafos más jugosos, donde hasta pareciera que el artículo lo escribe alguien del monopolio local (bueno, con el apellido del quía...):


Inflation has reared its head elsewhere in Latin America as well. Brazil, which was ravaged by hyperinflation of more than 2,000 percent as recently as 1994, has become increasingly concerned that inflation will exceed 5.5 percent this year. In Venezuela, inflation is 27.2 percent, according to Venezuela’s Central Bank, the highest in Latin America, and President Hugo Chávez has blamed “speculators” for raising prices there.


In Argentina, it has become a heated political issue. Mrs. Kirchner insists inflation is not a problem, even in the face of substantial evidence presented by private economists and local officials that the government’s national statistics agency has been grossly underreporting inflation and poverty for four years.


The government’s official 10.9 percent inflation rate is less than half the estimate of private economists and firms like Ecolatina, which put inflation at 26.6 percent in a report last month. The official 12 percent number for poverty is also well below independent estimates of about 30 percent.


Chisme barato, quien escribe el artículo este en el NYT está acusado de plagio por un colega suyo, un tal Jack Shafer.
