    It’s gone from less than half of the population being in poverty to over 60% being in poverty since Milei has started implementing his austerity measures.

    So it sounds like exactly the opposite of what you’re claiming is happening.

    But it’s fine. People are starving but it’s okay because austerity somehow is always a good thing and fuck those people, they were going to starve anyway. Probably.

      Lowering inflation when it’s too high is always a question of short term pain for some people to get long term benefits for most people.

        Most people are in poverty. 60%. “You’ll do better in the long term” is not very accurate when people are starving to death.

        This is the most ridiculous attempt to defend something that is causing suffering on a scale of millions that I have seen in a long time.
