Nobody cares about baity articles. There has been an absolute massive drop in standard of living and the government continues to artificially intervene in the exchange market. Real cost of living has gone up by 1/3 for the middle class at the least.
Nobody who lives here will tell you anything has gotten better in this time. I have never in my entire life seen a team of complete dimwits at the helm of this country, regardless of ideology.
(Anectodal) Rent around here in europe literally doubled. Groceries shopping are way higher too. That's the consequence of globally printing our problems away and waging random wars.
The drop in standards was to be expected given the terrible situation Argentina was.
Hopefully it gets better in a few years.
My fear was that Milei would turn out to be another puppet giving hope to people and not doing anything, but it seems he's been doing some proper haircuts, which were long overdue.
Argentina was one of the wealthies countries in the world before decades of drifting into socialism.
> Argentina was one of the wealthies countries in the world before decades of drifting into socialism.
These sort of ridiculous, ignorant statements that have neither a clue of what Argentina used to be like, what it was in recent times, and what socialism actually means are the reason why Milei can lure gullible morons.
Yeah, when a meme economy (i.e. Advanced/Developing/Japan/Argentina) going through huge change, sometimes number stop being useful. Sometimes you just need to see what it's like on the ground, i.e. selling morsels of prepackaged food. People can argue correction neccessary, but this level?
I literally live here. The drop in quality of public services is throughly unjustified.
A madman who believes firefighting services should be privatized and who has not shown the least concern about the fact that these policies are measurably increasing food insecurity among children has no place governing.
