    I know a few Argentinians and since I live in Chile I know a lot about what’s going on there. They have a lot of useless ministers for almost everything, at this point the previous government could have easily added the ‘ministry of non-important matters’ Their state manages the education really bad, many Argentinians complain about that, all those things managed by the state work really bad and are fueled by taxes. I agree that Milei’s ideas are crazy, but seeing the options in Argentina, he was the less bad option there.

    Imagine a state sucking almost every currency from every citizen just to fuel useless state institutions. I hope Argentina will recover with this change.

        As an Argentinian living abroad and having left the country for how unbearable it was, I can tell you it’s true. I’m not saying some of those things aren’t important, but Argentina’s Government is like a crackhead. You give it some money and expenditure capabilities, and the next thing you know is at the shadiest dealer, buying as much of the worst stuff.

        You need to cut the vicious cycle somewhere. Unfortunately for Argentina, that place is Welfare State.

          Right, because that worked great for Brazil, right? No, wait, the 6 years of rightwing “cuts” actually devalued the Real by 50%.

            You’ve got to understand that politics are never so straightforward. Bolsonaro’s premise might have been one, but the execution might have been another.

            So has come to pass with many presidents in Argentina, promising to solve the issues, and making them worse.

            Not everyone might like Milei, but the truth is that he was the lesser evil, and by a long margin.

              Rightwingers aren’t human.

                  There’s no discussion on the subject. Rightwingers should feel lucky to be alive.

          When has a far right guy like this ever been successful?
