There’s no evidence this was Israel. Iran has plenty of enemies in the Middle East.
There’s going to come a point where Mexico, and increasingly other parts of Latin and Central America, follow in El Salvador’s footsteps in terms of how they deal with the Narcos and gangs.
Wouldn’t solve anything.
You should probably read at least a little about Argentina’s recent history before commenting then…
Yeah it’s a nasty choice. I legit think it was: guy who already screwed the economy (100% chance of things getting worse), guy who’s madder than a box of badgers but wants to try something different (99.9% chance of things getting worse), so let’s hope for that 0.01%.
which currently lives
Massive eye roll.
Yes, clearly they would be referring to Hong Kong post-97 unification.
Really? Come on dude. Drop the snark, you need better quality contributions if you’re going to take that tone with other users here.
Anything to add beside a snide comment?
It’s been a while since I even bothered arguing with libertarians, but wouldn’t they just point to Hong Kong and South Korea?
Here’s one bit of context. Under the other candidate, the one this guy Milei ran against, who was the economic minister of the previous government, in September inflation reached 124%.
In case you were wondering why Milei won.
You also need to know the bigger history of Argentina’s last century of economic decline.
Argentina is taught as a case study in undergraduate economics courses in ‘how not to manage an economy’.
The Economist have a good video on the current crisis (Why is Argentina’s economy such a mess? ) and this one about the broader trend since the 1900s/10s.
I’m not a libertarian, I’m a social democrat.
The last century has been a total and unmitigated disaster for Argentina. The two options Argentinians had in this election were:
Unsurprisingly, they went for the latter. I don’t think anti-libertarians get to gloat in this context, given it’s the Argentinian establishment which has overseen one of the most remarkable examples of total state-collapse and economic failure in modern history.
One problem I have is that the core design problem of Reddit is the use of user upvotes/downvotes to sort (and either highlight or hide) based on the number. But not only does an opinion unpopular not mean that it’s wrong, it’s vitally important for any democratic society that we are regularly exposed to viewpoints that differ from our own.
Lemmy doesn’t challenge that, and I wish it did.
Tbh I suppose I just want old-school vBulletin forum boards back, but I don’t know any general-purpose ones…
