I agree its stupid. But its even more stupit to try and ban it.

This has already happened with things like Tsunami in Catalonia. A totally decentralised movement that the police is still trying to understand 6y later and trying to find a nonexistant leadership. Incredible fun to watch them trying to understand how it worked

It will surely be more attempts, but this is huge and means you'll always have the hability to have an encrypted service like signal which was the big danger here

But they are pretty clear about that. Also, how is that worse than Google or bing? It's not a dream sure, but its a lot better than your money going to Google

Considering the war in ukr rn exists bc nobody helped ukr the first time, I think we should give the right message to Putin so that it doesn't start another war

Sure, bc its the easiest path. But some gas for peak hours is totally fine. The problem is in countries like the US or Germany where over 50% of the electricity comes from fossil fuels. At least that should be the goal on the short term

Sounds like an idea in a film that doesnt end very well

Ok, you cant print it indefenetly (saying the opposite is just ignorant). Also, it can be better for neocolonialism and for the country, its not mutually exclusive.

And, can I as you how do you expect a country to buy oil, chips, planes, etc? A genuine question. If you dont export anything how do you convince other countries to guive you stuff?

When I say globally competitive I mean having something that other countries pay you to make, thats it. And why? So that you can then pay them to guive you stuff.

Bc it isnt that. It usually is: stop giving money to people if you're in debt, and keep your word to guive stability to you economy to attract investors. Obviously sometimes they give bad advice but its usually a good idea to listen to the IMF

Sure, but the fact that no one knows what socialism is doesn't mean that the definition of socialism changes. Argentina is an example of socialdemocracy with too much interventionist, nothing to do with socialism.

But again, even if the new guy has good ideas nobody should support him insulting to make a campaign, this just makes discussion counterproductive, and its the base of a democratic society

Yes in normal countries. But Argentina has an official fixed rates that is unrelated to reality. This means there are two exchange rates, the official one and the real one. Thie measure just puts the official one closer to the real one. And as Argentina uses gov money to pay the official rate thus this reduces the gov expenses and in the long term it stabilises the currency. Yes, in the short term its a shock to the economy making some thins more expensive (for those that had access to the gov rate) but its just bc before the gov subsidised those things indirectly.

Most of the ideas of this president are actually good. Its just a shame that he has to insult and act to apply them. He's just doing what the IMF has proposed for years and telling everyone it's a revolution.
