Quite long and interesting piece, unsurprisingly he comes off as an unhinged asshole.
To meet with Milei, you have to go through the person he calls El Jefe, the boss: his sister. On the day of our interview, Karina Milei, sporting silver sequined flip-flops, guarded the door to the President’s office before allowing me in. Karina, 52, is a former tarot reader who until a few years ago was selling cakes on Instagram.
One of Milei’s first acts as President was to change a decree barring relatives from Cabinet positions in order to appoint her General Secretary of the Presidency.
What is wrong with selling cakes on Instagram? Her success leading the campaign that made her brother the current president in Argentina is more important imo
Also this:

Completely within legal means. A decree is not a law. It’s within presidential executive mandate to do or undo.
There is nothing wrong with selling cakes obviously. Tarot car readers are grifters.
And? Barring any opinion on it, it’s not illegal, and people have the rights to exercise their beliefs in ways that don’t impact third parties negatively, as weird at it might sound.
Focusing on that again, instead of the achievement of pulling a win with almost no resources against a fully, decades deeply state entrenched political party through a, by any normal politics, very unpopular message of reigning spend, while being lambasted in the dirtiest campaign ever seen in Argentina, is miopic and a bit misogynistic too imo, given that she is being minimized from the beginning just by her occupation as if she cannot provide value?
So he sounds insane, but the piece is well written. Why is everybody downvoting it?
Lemmy hates what Lemmy hates, facts don’t matter.
He is actually lowering inflation in Argentina. That is clearly something that shows success, and clearly whoever is on the other side, ideologically, won’t like it
Freedom man bad
Man I had forgotten about when people memed with trump saying orange man bad and now you made me remember hahaha
