I love this optimism of yours!
It’s realism. It really can’t get much worse when 2 out of 5 people you ask are unemployed and your money is worth nothing. The country is on the precipice of disaster, and has been since before Milei was elected. They need drastic action because whatever they’ve been doing lately is not working.

Oh look, what we all said about a "libertarian" basically becoming a far-right dictator is, in fact, happening. Engaging in denial of the desaparecidos, which literally everyone who studied argentinian history knows.

Consider this: he just got congratulated by the far far right Spanish party (Vox), far far right Jair Bolsonaro from Brazil, Donald Trump and Elon Musk, among others.
We're fucked.

Funny you say both of those things. Musk supported Milei. Did you know Argentina has one of the biggest lithium sources in the world? A simple math will tell you a cheap regional economy + cheap labour + lots of resources = good business for scum like Musk.
Yea... Musk is such scum :wacko:

Why are you so obsessed talking about a country from which you know nothing about? And trying to teach me about it? It's like an obsession you yankees have with meddling in other countries' issues and thinking you have the right take. Of course it's mostly the Musk/Trump fanboys.

Musk is scum indeed. Yep.
I wasn't gonna open that link but I was curious. NO FUCKING WAY YOU SEARCHED "ELON MUSK HELP POVERTY" AND PASTED THE FIRST 2020 BLOG POST YOU FOUND LMAOOO

ah well, libertarians gonna libertaire
Uhh… Yeah. The year started with a strong rally, putting the peso as the no.1 performing currency in the world.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...arks-wild-rally-that-makes-peso-no-1-in-world

The rally slowed because Milei is facing some pushback in implementing his policies, plus there’s a planned drop in interest rates.

https://www.reuters.com/markets/cur...ts-record-low-milei-rally-falters-2024-05-22/

The gap you’re describing had *narrowed* from 200% to 18% since Milei took office, and recently rose back up to 44% due to uncertainty. The graph looks this way because the currency was intentionally devalued as part of the initial economic package.

So yeah, trust the plan, actually. The graph looks as expected. Let’s zoom out. You can see a significant increase in confidence between January and April. Had the rally continued, you’d be seeing December, if not October numbers instead, but there are some roadblocks in the way.

Blue dollar?

Yeah since we don't have free access to get USD there's a parallel (illegal) market. That parallel price was frozen for the first few months (started going up recently), that's why it looked like the peso was going strong.
See how "Parallel peso" is the one going positive but the official one is in the negative. It's so stupid I can't believe we're even discussing this.

Ohhh thank you for the explanation. It's good that you're providing the local perspective.

Yeah, the actual news is just written so people take it at face value but won't look into it. We're still getting fucked and industry and activity is falling more and more. Things are not looking good.
