      That’s like saying gasoline is necessary for a house on fire because that house desperately needs liquids. There were other candidates in the election that had much better plans, while I agree that electing the same dipshits that set the house on fire to begin with was out of the question, we had options but the majority choose a clown who will make things worse. It’s almost the definition of cutting the nose to spite the face.

        Argentina’s core problem is their previous Peronist government’s unsustainable spending and command over the economy. They have spent themselves into a crisis several times due to their high Debt:GDP ratio

          Sure I hate Peronists as much as the next guy, however you can’t possibly be arguing in favour of austerity when rampant poverty is killing off your populace. Milei is a piece of shit that perpetuates impoverishment by also taking debt with IMF while cutting national industry via privatisation (none of it is bought by Argentine interests, all of them foreign).
