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)

I cannot argue with that. My issue is really how these posts are trying to paint a [before good, now bad] picture. But fail to mention that the "before" party had been on power for +20 years... I'm not making this up (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirchnerism). We would be really naive to believe that in only one month of power this man has flipped the switch to shitty mode.

Argentina has been on downfall for YEARS, the only difference is now there is no intention to cover it up. You can argue this guy is crazy and takes extreme measures, but ultimately if going in one direction has brought the country to this state, you can't blame the guy for trying to steer 180.
