    To paraphrase an Argentinian I spoke with on another thread: the poor people were already suffering so they voted for the current president so the rich would have to struggle too. The poor were gonna get it in the neck anyway so they may as well take the rich down with them.

      Too bad the rich are laughing now, and the poor are suffering even worse.

        Yeah. There’s an English saying “biting your nose off to spite your own face” which seems appropriate. To me the biggest problem is that the world is flooded with politicians and sadly lacking statesmen (statespeople?)
