I'm sure our resident libertarians are shocked and appalled at this.

If he starts messing with Boca, someone is going to assassinate him ..

 

Boca (a popular soccer club) fans in Argentina boo new President Javier Milei over plans to privatize soccer clubs and austerity measures. Former President and Milei ally Mauricio Macri has been interfering through the courts and delaying elections to choose Boca’s new president. https://t.co/V0GrSGEoeb

Boca fans don't fuck around.  Shit, drunk Boca fans might be the 3rd strongest military in South America.

Was down there one year when Boca Jrs won the title.  We went down to the obelisk to observe/join in the celebration.  Ended up drinking a lot of win from botas and singing along to newly learned Boca songs with the crowd, because the fuck not?  They were all in a happy mood, so no violence....that said, we made sure to always have a street escape route in sight.

How’s that protest ban going ?

Llega más gente al Congreso para rechazar los 30 puntos del libertario Milei para cambiar la economía #ArgentinaHoy Milei mostró que preferirá gobernar bajo decreto, antricherado en la Casa Rosada con sus ministros, y decidiendo en la noche y a escondidas, como los autócratas. https://t.co/m2dASR1dE8

Compare that to Jan 6 and Jan 7 in Brasilia, one side is insurrectionist, looting, and seizing the capitol building, the other just protests outside peacefully.

Who could have ever predicted this... in Argentina of all places!?

Never not seen protests in BsAs

Marshall law is just around the corner. Milei’s vp is very very dangerous 

 

Newly elected President of Argentina, Milei promised to crack down on protests.Demonstrators of leftist movement wanted to close the street and refused to listen to the police, so they were showered with pepper spray and clubbed off the road.
#267

They can't avoid martial law but they are trying extremely stupid ways to get around it, like fining organizations for police billable hours, aka you protest we fine you. Also if you protest we won't give you social benefits.

Lets see how this clown fascism ends.

The massive protest in front of Argentina’s Congress against Javier Milei’s new austerity measures. They threatened to strip people’s social benefits if they participated in any protest that blocked a street but people turned out anyways 🇦🇷

Argentinian bankers have come out en masse to protest Javier Milei’s deregulation reforms.

Militarized police forces in Argentina violently repressed people protesting Javier Milei’s anti-austerity measures in the province of Cordoba.

BREAKING NEWS: #JavierMilei takes the police to the streets to avoid closures and pickets on the roads and guarantee security throughout #Argentina. 🇦🇷 Do you support this Milei measure?

 

The new Argentine President Javier Milei has announced a massive deregulation program.He is truly conducting a massive experiment in Argentina. People from across South America and beyond are watching with great interest.English subtitles included https://t.co/DeHsQsUKyv

I thought this was a joke ….

Do you like earning your wages in actual money? Deregulatory measures in Argentina will allow companies to pay workers in milk or meat instead of currency. A little over a week and Milei’s government is regressing Argentina into a medieval style economy.https://t.co/4MNfWC9J4m

Laughing at this is a bit of a sign of our American privilege. When inflation is as high as they have you might want to have your pay set in a certain amount of goods. Their “actual money” is running at an inflation rate of 160% so stanning for the Argentine peso is weird.  And that’s the “official” rate. 
 

Here from an article I saw a while back. 

"Last week I bought two kilos of potatoes for 800 pesos and this week it cost almost 1,200 pesos. I don't know if next week we'll be able to afford to buy the same groceries."

We have no frame of reference for this state of day to day life.

This is why you try to avoid such a terrible economic situation/inflation. People will accept anything as an alternative. Hello, Weimar

 

edit- lol the author of that tweet is an Argentine immigrant that moved to Miami. He’s talking shit from a distance after he bolted.

Extremely ridiculous

A) Reinvent the wheel paying people with something they may not want (what about vegans?)

B) Sell milk bags at place of convenience? So they can inmediately spend their money?

The problem in Argentina is that their solution to hyperinflation is to hurt the worker, turn off the printing press and don't pay anyone.

Then the poor will go after them (and him).  I’d imagine things are far worse if we are hearing such crazy stuff come out.

Train workers in Argentina protest the privatization of state-owned trains by Javier Milei’s government. When this wide-scale privatization was tried in the 90s, it ended with mass layoffs. The state-owned airline Aerolíneas Argentinas was privatized and ran into the ground. https://t.co/utnl36XLP3

Apropos of nothing, or something, over the holiday, my old man brought over a bunch of photos and a collection of other odds and ends from our family history over the years. Including this gem from their time living in Buenos Aires:

Argentina: where you print out shit celebrating “10 years of stability!”
BTW, the shit hit the fan in Argentina shortly thereafter.

Milei is hammering the poor and working class. His vp has the road map read for a full blown authoritarian govt ….

 

This is what the new right wing government in Argentina is offering the public. Austerity measures so harsh they are literally telling people to eat one meal per day to make ends meet. https://t.co/jxVk6XPmgx

Ditching rent control and raising the rates on public transportation = hitting the poor snd working class

Let’s continue to hit the poor and working class …

Huge lines for gas in Argentina after sharp increase of prices following deregulatory measures implemented by Milei’s government.

How do the poor and working class like >100% official inflation?

Should price controls remain in place? They’re well established to be poor policy choices. 
 

Reversing the policies that led to Argentina’s disastrous condition was always going to lead to short term pain.

You seem awfully invested in what is maybe the most consistently shitty government and their policies remaining in power. All while sharing tweets from an aggrieved Argentine expat living in Miami.  
 

It will be an interesting experiment to witness, but no more than their almost a century of consistent decline.

My co-worker announced last week that she's taking her big vacation this year to Argentina.  I'm guessing she doesn't pay much attention to the news.
