To be fair, Milei was handed an absolute shit show

(correct me if wrong, but it seems pretty bad)

"Pesada herencia" strikes again. Literally every government has claimed that.

Indeed. and they always say "vote for me" and a thousand other things. This has been well established, no need to repeat universal political slogans any further.

So is it your claim that Argentina was in decent shape before Milei took office? It wasn't a shit show? It wasn't pretty bad? What shape do you think it was in? Decent?

[–] potustheplant@feddit.nl 1 points 35 minutes ago* (last edited 32 minutes ago)

Nope, it wasn't. My claim is that all recent governments received the country in "bad shape". In this case, while some metrics improved, he did a lot of harm as well. All in all, I think the balance is negative.

My other claim is that this donkey meat story is bullshit. Find me a butcher shop that's actually selling this, I'll wait. I've literally never seen or heard of this type of meat being sold in Argentina.

Libertarianism fails faster than communism. It has been well documented and people still think it's a better system of government

The core purpose of libertarianism is to enhance trickle-up economics. The wealthy 1% benefit and make off like gangbusters, everyone else loses.

Donkey meat is delicious tho

Last Fall when our own citizens were going hungry in a government shutdown, Trump sent Argentina $40 billion, and instead of buying meat, they bought donkeys they could fatten up to eat later?

No wonder Argentina's economy crashes every 2 years.
