The though of a shithead that "talks to his deceased dog thru a medium", has a "council of dogs" as counselors, that wants to legalize selling babies and organs and wants to destroy everything public being so close to winning is nightmare fuel.
The problem is that you need competence in government to get people to accept it as a solution. If everyone in government is an idiot, you aren't going to get people to trust in government solutions as an answer.
It's always the same problem: if there are no controls everything goes bad. Doesn't matter if it's something public, private or in-between.
The answer is putting controls so the very moment it starts to go bad it can be corrected.
That is a super fascist rehtoric. And in the case of Argentina highly supportive of corruption.
Control must come from justice, not from political expending.
And who said "from political expending"? I say controls. Like internal affairs is to the police. I think we can all agree every politician has to be accountable for his/her decisions, don't we?
Yes absurd. We need a council of cats
Or mice😜
The guy he lost to is the current Minister of Economy...
In the past 4 years Argentina devalued its currency by 750%. Poverty climbed 15% to almost 50%. Inflation is about 140% annually. Minimum wage is $115 USD and going down. All while middle manager politicians travel on holidays in private jets, spending 20k USD on a single day. With declared incomes of 1000-1500 USD per month. Over the last 10 years.
Now think about it: they think Milei is even worse than that.
