Wow. Maybe voting based on who is popular versus who can get the job done isn't such a good idea. Good luck Argentina!

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Lol, the other option was the minister of economy of the last government. He was many things, but he was definitely not the one who could get the job done.
Totally. His idea of fixing the economy was literally "PRINT MORE MONEY"
Incredibly enough, the first thing Milei disassembled was the hyperinflation risk Massa left us with
Obviously inflation was going to raise. But now it's decreasing
December inflation of 25.5% gave way to January's inflation 20.5% and February's inflation of 13.2%.
March's seems to be lower still.
It's literally the first time in years inflation has been going down 3 months in a row in Argentina.
Can't argue with the results, his economic program is working.
That's what and why the past governments state internal parasites are fighting so hard against the dude
They know if he gets inflation in lower single digits, he's gonna get reelected for life
We had both single digit inflation and 3 months in a row with inflation going down last year, stop lying
Yeah that's the reason why Massa and Alberto won the elections.
Oh wait they didn't.

Thanks for replying like a zealot like y'all do, helps me prove my point.
For the uninformed, "VLLC" means "viva la libertad carajo," which is the 3rd world variation of "MAGA" or "sieg heil" in this case, since the wanna be president yells that 3 times after his speeches.
Not to support this madman but the whole purpose of democracy is that not everybody agrees on how the job should be done.
Apparently Argentinians decided this clown was their best bet. I have serious doubts but good luck to them.
What this actually shows is how much previous governments fucked up and how desperate and angry the Argentine people were that this clown started to look like a good idea. To those with an outside perspective it was always obvious that this would only end badly, but to them it was an "any port in a storm" situation.
This is the correct take. They have had little stability in decades. Watching children eat roasted rat on the street can have an effect on you.
