About 10% of Argentina's electricity comes from nuclear power plants. But libertarian President Javier Milei wants to privatize the state-owned nuclear energy company.

So Milei appointed a 23-year-old internet libertarian activist, Ezequiel Acuña, to run the state nuclear company.

Acuña has ZERO experience in nuclear energy. He graduated high school in 2020 and started studying political science in college, but dropped out of the program. He never formally studied science, or even management.

Acuña is also being paid a starting salary that is 10 times larger than the average salary in the private sector, which he and Milei worship, as libertarians.

Acuña has never worked in nuclear energy or anything related. His only "qualification" is that he tweets libertarian propaganda in support of Milei. And the Milei regime thinks that is enough.

This is actually existing libertarianism.

I wouldn't say friends, they're just a bunch of ass kissers.

Yeah the ultra-zionist libertarian nutjob. "Running" is not quite the correct word. Ruining would be more accurate.

They are currently $320 billion in debt, more than 50% of the population is in poverty, manufacturing and construction are collapsing amid rapid deindustrialization, social safety nets demolished, meanwhile their president is promoting crypto scams and going on trips to Washington and Tel Aviv to bow down and lick the boots of Trump and Zionist Hitler.

He heard the saying; "If you owe the bank $100 that's your problem. If you owe the bank $100 million, that's the bank's problem."

Then decided that would be the basis for national fiscal policy.
