So inflation doesn't matter? As in would another admin have achieved this level of reduction?

I mean he is definitely crazy, but it seems like this was absolutely necessary as the alternative would have been a Zimbabwe situation.

Do you even live here or something? Our salaries are worth a tenth of what they were last october. What little public infrastructure we have, including public health and education, is getting absolutely decimated thanks to the good old neolib playbook. Whatever inflation data you've seen does not correlate with our day-to-day reality. Idk what else to tell you dude.
