Austerity never works. I guess Milei went to the IMF school of running a country into ruin.

This has to be an elaborate BDSM thing, right? Like he's being a bratty dom and taunting the fuck out of everybody because he secretly can't wait until they drag him from his house in the middle of the night and pulverize him with two by fours.

Nah, BDSM is all about consent. I don't think he requested that consent before inflicting that amount of widespread pain.

In spirit of your metaphor, i think he would rather be closer to Josef Fritzl.

Whether you like him or not, the real world reality is that the Argentinian Goverment was bloated. English media really wants to hate on this guy. Not everyone likes him, but the country broke. He said he was going to push for austerities and he is doing that.

Also not a fan that he wants to sell exploration rights. But unless someone wants to give Argentina Ukrainian-type cash Aid packages, they are going to have through go some taught times. They should have gone through this over a decade ago bit the previous goverment took out loans after loans, exploding the debt.

Still odd to me that he won. Also, he is putting his sister as an Goverment Official, so nepotism seems to be alive and well in Argentina.
