    That makes sense! Austerity is such a roaring success everywhere else. There’s no reason it won’t work for Argentina.

    Keep starving public services of funding and fucking over the poor in order to funnel more money into the pockets of the ultra-rich. That will definitely help the country develop.

    …so sick of all this right-wing bullshit. Fucking assholes.

    Milei — who has four dogs named Milton, Murray, Robert and Lucas, after US economists — argued that “market failures do not exist” and ruled out state subsidies to stimulate nascent industries such as green energy. He also advocates for all infrastructure to be built by private companies. Gustavo Weiss, president of Argentina’s construction business association, said “only 15 to 20 per cent” of projects can be delivered solely by the private sector

    Oh man. Even most libertarians concede that roads should be govt funded.
