Making Argentina great again: “I’m retired. I earn 106,000 pesos [about $84 a month]. I’m starving to death. Milei [you’re a] son of a bitch.” (sh.itjust.works)

Wow, i like the guardian but Milei is NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR 20 YEARS OF NARCO COMMUNISM THAT DESTROYED THE COUNTRY AND SOLD THE PARTS TO CHINA.

This may come as a surprise to you but chopping off your leg because you stubbed your toe is not generally regarded to be good medical practice.

He didn't do that. He MADE THE OFFICIAL EXCHANGE RATE MORE SIMILAR TO THE STREET RATE.

So it looks like it HALVED in USD.

BUT IT STAYED THE SAMEEEEEEEEEE

And the answer to that is privatization and gutting the only thing keeping the country stable (the government)? This experiment has been tried, and all the anglosphere nations that did it are still paying for it.

Not true. You are NOT aware of the current and recent situation in Argentina!

INFLATION HAS BEEN OVER 100% PER YEAR FOR MANY YEARS.

nuff said. Fck off tankies. Come live here and THEN comment..

Privatizing your nation is just selling your government to the highest bidder. You think letting China buy up so much of your country was bad before? Wait until privatized government organizations start extracting every possible bit of money from Argentinians.

You already have so little, why give the rest of it away? You're trading your future for a sandwich.

Liar. Fck tankies.

He's NOT PRIVATIZING.

He's getting rid of COSTLY PROGRAMS THAT BANKRUPTED THE COUNTRY AND OPENING UP THEIR CLOSED BORDERS AND SUCH.

Neoliberals always privatize everything they can. It's part of their belief system, and this is the kind of thing waiting for you on the other side:

You have NOT BEEN IN ARGENTINA WHILE TEN YEARS OF NARCO COMMUNISM MADE INFLATION EACH YEAR OVER ONE HUNDRED PERCENT. FU

I just don't like his sideburns.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

I don't like his religious foolery and anti abortion shit.

But that doesn't mean he's responsible for this.

Someone has to bring them back. Yeah you heard me right

I didn't downvote that, but I don't agree either.
