Maybe it's crazy idea but... China?

I don't live in USA. I would be voting for Konfederacja in Poland which has similar, libertarian ideas as Milei. They are always dismissed as idiots (and I tend to agree) but if Milei fixes Argentina I'm ready to eat crow and give them a chance.
I think so. I read about a guy who stayed dead for couple of years for tax reasons.

You finished watching GOT just now?
In civilised counties it means indefinite, 20 years minimum and after that reviewed every couple of years. In some countries 25 years is the maximum mandatory sentence you can get, the next level is life.
The thing is, in weak democracies there's rarely "someone else" that will fix things. Ukraine got super lucky with Zelensky but even he looked like a total crook when elected. Pretty much only populists can win elections in countries like that and it's impossible to tell if the populist is saying populist things to get rich or to actually try fixing things. Most of the time they just want power and money and people that take the risk and vote for them have big chance of getting if more fucked.
If there’s a quick look into the abyss people might wake up and get into action.
And vote for the politicians that gave them slow decline again...
And when they do pass them everyone gets pissed because "mommy state" and corporate interests find a way to get rid of it anyway: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugary_drinks_portion_cap_rule
It's not just politicians. The entire system is broken.
I would agree if Argentina wasn't so fucked right now. The goal is not to make Argentina great but to get out of crisis. I think what can happen is that all this drastic cuts and price hikes will lower inflation and stabilize the economy. With inflation under control and normal interest rates people will be able to start saving money again, take out mortgages and import goods. This could improve their situation if public services survive but my guess is they will end up fully owned by foreign capital at the end.
What historical record? Can you point to another country taking such a extreme turn to the right while being in similar situation? And not being met with sanctions like in Afghanistan for example. I'm genuinely curious.
I mean it's pretty common knowledge that China is the biggest rare earth metals producer in the world. It's also well known that the batteries they produces are pretty bad for environment. And it's also known that Chinese EVs are still better for climate change than oil. It's all been covered many many times. Are you following any news?
