There's a lot of truth to what you say but some people choose to be here because of family ties or for other non-economic reasons, and still feel the need to start businesses, even though they know they know it could be much easier elsewhere.

Economically Argentina is very tough, but culturally it's a wonderful place, and my personal attachment to it - despite my many complaints - transcends money and perhaps even logic.

Chile is a wonderful country with many things going for it, but it's not like it's paradise, and not everybody wants to live there.

I'm in that situation, my life will be probably easier in another country but I'll keep on struggling here.

Sadly, If I were from another country, I wouldn't even consider coming here for business.
