1) POLICE & SECURITY CONCERN
In the years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, until first days of 2023 everything was about police and security persecution and harassment against Nicolas Sourivongxay, including cyberespionage, and harassment by caughing at Nicolas walkside house from the same one or two neighbors in his neighborhood.
It was proved Nicolas never had fans saying "hi" or congratulating him on the streets, there were only police officers persecuting him.
July 8th, 2022 a legislator in Ciudad Autonoma de Buenos Aires created 'Mapa de la Policia' against police abuse: https://twitter.com/OfeFernandez_/status/1546608697857777665?cxt=HHwWgoC9pdOa1PYqAAAA . Her political party only did that in Ciudad Autonoma de Buenos Aires where the opposition party rules, but not in Buenos Aires Province due to her political party ruling by a governor.
And Nicolas fighting at Justice System.
2) QUARANTINE/PANDEMIC/COVID-19
Business damaged
The restrictive quarantine due to Covid-19 starting in March 2020 when Nicolas arrived from his vacation in Mar del Plata. All the consequences it carried, economically and socially. In September 2020, Nicolas left the market with NSComex, his little store, due to lack of clients. The government sent him money by a program called IFE but the money was just useful to pay taxes not to generate enough income from the market.
Many stores were affected by policies about restrictions during the quarantine in the year 2020: 90,000 stores and 41,000 small enterprises closed in the whole country.

Nicolas returned to the market in February 2021 in the middle of police persecution on the streets. In December 2021 he left the market due to the persecution of the police in Mar del Plata during his vacation. Nicolas didn't get rest there. The vacation was paid 50% off with a benefit progrram of the government called Previaje to boost tourism sector consumption.

Abortion
Nicolas wore a mask in green color on the streets without knowing his mask was relevant for a congress decision about abortion in Argentina. That was his first face mask bought at a supermarket in March 2020 and there was not another color. The congress approved it in december 2020 during the quarantine. Later, Nicolas realized of that, so he changed that by using a face mask in white color, and later a client gave him a face mask in light blue color.

Nicolas has been a really fan of the movies 'Resident Evil' so, he follows Milla Jovovich on his personal Instagram Account and Facebook accounts. Milla Jovovich promoted the green handkerchieves/bandana symbol for the cause for the approval of the abortion in The United States of America after the successfull case in Argentina occured in December 2020.

Debt
During the pandemic the deficiencies in infraestructure framework and administrative processes in the governments of the world relied in delay in response of leaders to people needs. The debts of governments increased to spend the money mainly for social security.
Technology advance
The key was technology adaptation to face the economic problems in communication through the distance for business purposes.
Remote work, hybrid work, fintech companies, technology to education with the app star 'Zoom" and 'Classroom from Google', technology to Health system, the use of social medias, Facebook that changed to Meta, Twitter, Instagram, more internet connection, whatsapp, telegram.
Technology applied to government processes.

However, the process of adaptation was not easy, and many were excluded because of lack of knowledge, ideology, etc.
Misinformation and disinformation

Protest for liberation
Protest in several parts for freedom from restrictions.

Racial discrimination
Against people from Asia. This time not only for commercial war.

4) CYBERSECURITY
It's a global problem that the world decided to hide. It affects Argentina as well. Argentinians cyberspy through technology and no matter if they are experts or not.

5) RUSSIA vs UKRAINE
Not influenced so much. The political party of Alberto Fernandez was so linked to Russia but later they remained in silence due to the war.
6) INFLATION
Position 7 worldwide of Food inflation according to World Bank (nominal). One of the ten worst countries in the world.

After that, the government of Joe Biden in the United States of America tried to stop or to control inflation affecting the countries in the world.
7) CLIMATE CHANGE/ENERGY
Increase of renewable energy sector. Less outages for homes. Outages descreased in qty since the middle of 2020 during quarantine for homes. Nowadays there are sporadic outages due to political purposes more than technical purposes.
Companies in private sector make complaints frequently due to outages. For example in 2021: https://lavozdecataratas.com/2021/11/24/empresarios-elevaron-una-nota-al-secretario-de-energia-debido-a-los-constantes-cortes-de-luz/
https://www.infobae.com/economia/2022/04/03/falta-de-gas-y-energia-electrica-las-empresas-ya-se-preparan-para-un-invierno-con-cortes/
Nicolas Sourivongxay released 4 (four) videos about it until December 31st, 2022 related to Latin America & the Caribbean situation including in Argentina concerning outages concluding political purposes mostly than technical problems, and more improvement in renewable energy is necesssary for the region.

8) JOB SEARCHING
During the period of time November 2019 until these days in 2023, Nicolas didn't find a job yet despite of sending a lot of resumes by LinKedin, ZonaJobs, Bumeran, Indeed, Clarin empleos, Computrabajo, and other job search platforms, including direct company website platforms.
Nicolas went to the Ministerio de Trabajo, Empleo, Seguridad Social to make complaints on 10 November 2022 and on 6 December 2022 .
The market remains in silence in Argentina and in the international market but observing, extracting ideas and knowledge secretly. The income of NSComex is still under the mininum salary average.
