    I know it’s because you only post and never, ever comment, so you have no idea what people think of people like your libertarian hero Milei anyway, but it’s adorable that you think this will get us to like him more.

    He does look like Frodo on meth, lol, but still props that his economical plan that was perceived by many as crazy seem to be working so far.

        Well … whatever you call it, the inflation did slow down to 2.7%

        No one before him was able to stop it.

              Went up a few percent to 8pct the month before he was elected, and flew up to 25.5% the month after he was elected.

              Before 2022, it hadn’t been above 6% in nearly a decade.

              This wasn’t a problem only Milei could solve that no one else had; this was a problem caused by Milei that didn’t exist before him.

                Care to tells us what was low about the 211% yearly inflation on 2023 and how we are in a worst situation now with 107% inflation yearly?

                While you are at that, prove that black is white and 2+2 equals fish

                  It is literally still worse than before he started.

                  MoM and Yearly rapidly exploded into insane highs when he took office. The best he has achieved is almost returning to a pre-Milei level.

          You do know that using inflation as a sole metric to determine how well an economy is doing is silly, yes?

      Stopping your finger from bleeding by cutting off the entire arm is not a particularly good plan.

      Sure, inflation is down, but the absolute condition for the average argentinian is not strictly speaking great.

      It’s clear that some form of change to stop the runaway inflation was needed, but this was not the way to go
