A week ago, 20 kilograms (44 pounds) of pasta was enough to feed the dozens of families who visit the Sal de la Tierra soup kitchen in Villa Fiorito, a poor Buenos Aires suburb beset by the economic crisis ravaging Argentina. But with monthly inflation topping 20%, the number of hungry residents has soared. This week, the soup kitchen, which relies on private contributions and volunteer work, had to prepare 30 kg of pasta.

Hungry people are angry people and angry people do bad things. I'm not so sure Milei is going to be president, or possibly alive, by the time inflation starts coming down.

If Argentinians really wanted a better solution, they would have come up with one on the last 30 years.

But they didin't.

Thus Milei was elected as the "emergency plan" to fight back against the inflation and now they're living the consequences of it.

Not the consequences of electing Milei, but rather taking so long to realize that their country's economy was totally out of balance.

It's definitely both. Milieu has done everything possible to make the situation worse.

Did you just assess an assessment without providing your own assessment?!
