Thousands protest as hunger grows amid Argentine austerity

- Translation: we must kill the poor so that we can be rich.
  No one is talking about how these extreme austerity measures will affect the most vulnerable people
  
  Children lose very measurable nueral brain growth you don't get back if malnourished in the beginning. We're literally making a new class of measurably different human...
- No. Plenty of evidence of it crashing systems and worsening recessions from the Great Depression though, compared to spending programs like the New Deal.
  That said, there isn't a Great Depression, at the moment. Selling off public assets to foreign neocolonialists will produce short term benefits...
  For their new oligarchy, since ancaps sure as fuck aren't reinvesting those funds into public education and infrastructure.
- Um, i suppose you could apply the effect of the black plague on middle ages europe.
  Estimated to have killed 1/3 of all people. There was a subsequent rise in wages/worker bargaining power attributed to the lack of labour supply.
  I suppose thats an example of rock bottom and coming back with some benefit.
  I wouldn't call it 'bouncing' back though, more like struggling on with a sliver of silver on those grey clouds. Not an adviseable course for a country to take.
  
  I see it like sand in a sand timer that's been tipped. We get little crests and collapses cycles as the whole structure shifts and grows.

- Let's see if his escape helicopter bounce back
- Somalia?
  
  Ah yes, the economic miracle of...Somalia??
- You have to thank the Mashall Plan for that

"When we hit rock bottom, we will bounce back," he said.
Or maybe you'll just go splat.
- Why so negative?
  
  Because shock therapy has been done before, and the west is effectively at war with the result right now. Argentina might not be as bad but it's easy to assume when looking at the history of the policy that it makes everything worse except for foreign and local elites.

We should normalize hating anyone of thing with hundreds of millions in wealth. The disparity must be called bs everywhere.
- So the communist leaders of the last twenty years MADE THEIR MONEY IN POLITICS are much more to blame as a SOCCER MILLIONAIRE.. Right ? ⚽👍👍👍
  
  Whatabout! whatabout! Whatabout!
  
  There are no communist leaders. Communism is an economic model not a governmental methodology. The term has been abused. To claim otherwise is to claim North Korea is a Democratic Republic.

Argentina is where a surprising amount of zero day exploits are written.
- Qualified tech workers combined with non-existent earnings prospects make for a perfect recipe for an exploits industry. Those things allegedly pay pretty well if you can find them.
  It's also a great recipe for brain drain, with aforementioned qualified tech workers moving out of the country.

Can you ppl just block the milei cult members? Stop trying to argue with these kids

Wow, so poverty percentages were 0 before this government?
No, wait, they had 49% poverty by November 2023.
And you tell me that after all these changes to reduce spend, it went up by 8%? I would have expected it to reach 90% to be honest.

Milei, o mais grande do mundo.
- Wait one minute and 15 zurdosdeemmmmmm will come Downvote you...
  
  Maybe, just maybe, people are downvoting you for being an idiot?

- No, it's because you seem angry and unreasonable
  
  Where? It's literally people saying my name like I am known amongst the ZURDOSDEMM
- You write like a maniac. Like someone standing on a street corner, screaming about conspiracies at anyone unfortunate enough to pass by.
  Nobody is going to pay attention when you're blasting messages with all caps, minimal punctuation, and long strings of emoji. Most will simply ignore you and move on. Many will downvote on their way past.
  
  I don't even know what "ZURDOSDEEM" means.
- Paid shills? On lemmy? Do you even know what that means?

- Fascists and their supporters do tend to play down the atrocities in the beginning, this tracks from 2c who is a known psychophant.
  I'm going to pretend i didnt flub sycophant and came up with a fun portmanteau instead
  
  Sycophant
  
  This is a logical fallacy, attacking the person and not the actual point made. Since my point isnt even a point. It's just supporting the guy who won and is trying to get rid of LEFT WING POLITICS THAT BANKRUPTED THE COUNTRY AND SOLD IT TO CHINA.
  argentina owns not even it's own ports and should give free money to non working people? Let the UN handle that.
- And if a few million starve, that's a sacrifice, he's wiling to make, right?
  
  Why do they starve? Were they made dependent on the state by THIEVES SKIMMING OFF THE TOP?
