    Are you honestly suggesting that Milei’s solution to that is the only possible solution? Libertarian austerity or nothing?

      You honestly believe high inflation is better for poor people?

        I honestly believe poverty has risen from just above 40% to around 60% since Milei started his austerity measures.

        People are dying.

          53% is not “around 60”. Moreover,

          today Milei has a stable approval rating of 50 percent.

          Apparently even some of those in poverty agree with his reforms.

          I think people who only started paying attention to Argentina since he got elected should review the past few decades of history.

          Im also not saying he’s great but he is at least making some needed reform. We’ll see if it continues. He definitely has an attitude and zeal that could push it too far but at this point it has helped.

          Repeated your unsourced claim that people are dying does not make it true, and nice dodging the question.

              I will, right after you answer how uncontrolled inflation helps poor people.

                Why are the only two options uncontrolled inflation and libertarian austerity?

                  Nice straw man. I never made that claim. I simply asked you to explain why you think inflation is better for the poor than the current situation, which you have clearly expressed you do.

                    Because in the current situation, people are getting poorer and children are dying more.

                    So clearly it was better before Milei started his libertarian shit.

                    Less dead children equals better. I’m not sure why you’re suggesting otherwise.

                    Milei’s libertarianism, which is what I have been criticizing this whole time, is killing people.

                    I showed you evidence of that and you’re just pretending I never did now, which is quite dishonest. Especially after you criticized me for not providing any.

                    Are you going to start discussing in good faith or should we just end this? You could start by acknowledging what I said about more children dying now than before when inflation was higher. Then you can justify that.

      I mean, that is how the libertarians argue since time immemorial, isn’t it? “Cut the welfare state or the EcOnOMy never improves”
