World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Yeah, going full unregulated capitalist will lead to short term growth, no question about it. Long term consequences are the issue, though.
considering the industrial activity collapsed in may, the recession is still going, the economy minister has no idea what is going on (yesterday he talked about people having to sell dollars to pay taxes (despite campaigning to dollarize the economy and eliminate taxation) (Spanish link), i would say that this is short term collapse, leading to long term collapse
The dead dog?
No, not that conan, the other conan
Argentina is far from unregulated. And oftentimes unregulated capitalism placed in dysfunctional economies leads to significant short term contraction. Long term growth depends on putting the correct regulation back into place.
Milei is shitty but ending currency controls will go a long way toward giving the economy a good base. Getting inflation down to a decent level will make it so people will actually use the peso and not do their damnedest to get a hold of a stable currency like the dollar. And that is very important because countries should not be relying on a foreign currency that does not care about local situations. Milei's idea to dollarize the economy is idiotic in the long run. But I doubt that will actually come into fruition.
That's like telling a starving person that long-term obesity concerns are the real issue.
It's all the real issue. This is why eating in moderation is a good idea, even when starving. You also avoid refeeding syndrome this way.

I don't disagree and it can be hard to swallow... and Argentina's previous government was unquestionably incompetent... but I too am worried that Argentina might austerity themselves into being the next Greece.
Economics is fucking hard dude.
