    Wow. Maybe voting based on who is popular versus who can get the job done isn’t such a good idea. Good luck Argentina!

      Not to support this madman but the whole purpose of democracy is that not everybody agrees on how the job should be done.

      Apparently Argentinians decided this clown was their best bet. I have serious doubts but good luck to them.

        What this actually shows is how much previous governments fucked up and how desperate and angry the Argentine people were that this clown started to look like a good idea. To those with an outside perspective it was always obvious that this would only end badly, but to them it was an “any port in a storm” situation.

          This is the correct take. They have had little stability in decades. Watching children eat roasted rat on the street can have an effect on you.

      Lol, the other option was the minister of economy of the last government. He was many things, but he was definitely not the one who could get the job done.

        Totally. His idea of fixing the economy was literally “PRINT MORE MONEY”

        Incredibly enough, the first thing Milei disassembled was the hyperinflation risk Massa left us with

        Obviously inflation was going to raise. But now it’s decreasing

        December inflation of 25.5% gave way to January’s inflation 20.5% and February’s inflation of 13.2%.

        March’s seems to be lower still.

        It’s literally the first time in years inflation has been going down 3 months in a row in Argentina.

        Can’t argue with the results, his economic program is working.

        That’s what and why the past governments state internal parasites are fighting so hard against the dude

        They know if he gets inflation in lower single digits, he’s gonna get reelected for life
