Argentina’s inflation slowed down for a second consecutive month in February, as right-wing President Javier Milei continues to push austerity and deregulation measures in an effort to revive the country’s struggling economy.
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?
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
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.

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.
Every thread about Milei has Argentinian users talking shit on Argentinians.
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.
What the fuck is that supposed to mean?
He’s Argentinan. We may never know.
It means that the only constant in our 100 years of constant crisis is saddly us… we usually say that as a joke anyway
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.
