My questions regarding Argentina right now are: will he be actually able to reign in spending and reduce the debt to a point where it isn’t such a burden in public finances? Will the economy bottom out before the end of his term and start sustainable growth? Will the people actually tolerate all of this?

Will Enrique Iglesias actually be your hero?

Will you look at this photograph?

All the answers are no, and it's not because of Milei, just as it wasn't because of Macri or the Kirchners, the problem of Argentina is that it is full of Argentinians

Lol, as an Argentinian you're not exactly wrong. There has to be a cultural shift along with the policy changes that come with it.

Every thread about Milei has Argentinian users talking shit on Argentinians.

That’s just how you say hello in Buenos Aires.

What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

It means that the only constant in our 100 years of constant crisis is saddly us.. we usually say that as a joke anyway

He's Argentinan. We may never know.

As much as it pains me, I am convinced you're right. It's mostly an education / cultural problem. You can find similar situation in other countries of course but I've never it that extensive.

The result is having some of the worst politicians ever being elected, with no credible alternative.

I lived in Argentina for 5 years. This is spot on.

The people really didn’t ever understand how well they have it. People in the US would go nuts to have a the rights they do.
