My questions regarding Argentina right now are: will he be actually able to reign in spending and reduce the debt to a point where it isn’t such a burden in public finances? Will the economy bottom out before the end of his term and start sustainable growth? Will the people actually tolerate all of this?

Will Enrique Iglesias actually be your hero?

Will you look at this photograph?

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world -1 points 8 months ago

All the answers are no, and it's not because of Milei, just as it wasn't because of Macri or the Kirchners, the problem of Argentina is that it is full of Argentinians

[-] MataVatnik@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago

Lol, as an Argentinian you're not exactly wrong. There has to be a cultural shift along with the policy changes that come with it.

[-] PsychedSy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 8 months ago

Every thread about Milei has Argentinian users talking shit on Argentinians.

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

We say talking shit about us and complaining are our national sports

A proud tradition.

That’s just how you say hello in Buenos Aires.

[-] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 9 points 8 months ago

What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

It means that the only constant in our 100 years of constant crisis is saddly us.. we usually say that as a joke anyway

[-] taanegl@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

He's Argentinan. We may never know.

As much as it pains me, I am convinced you're right. It's mostly an education / cultural problem. You can find similar situation in other countries of course but I've never it that extensive.

The result is having some of the worst politicians ever being elected, with no credible alternative.

[-] stoly@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

I lived in Argentina for 5 years. This is spot on.

The people really didn’t ever understand how well they have it. People in the US would go nuts to have a the rights they do.
