      The former media ‘shock jock’ commentator has made a series of attacks on the pope, calling him an “imbecile who defends social justice”, a “son of a bitch preaching communism” https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/argentine-priests-defend-pope-francis-over-shameful-milei-attacks-2023-09-05/

      According to Luke 16:13 Jesus is supposed to have said “You cannot serve both God and money.”

      Luke 6:29-30 “If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back.”

      Mark 10:21 “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

      Wow thats a lot of propaganda you are spreading. Massa had 16 years and only made the country worse. The people need a change. Mille may be a mistake but Massa plain does not care. He stole as much money and is leaving. Massa just quit being president even though Mille is not taking over until mid december. Massa is leaving the country tomorrow.

        I agree with you on Massa, and on needing a change. But I also think Milei is likely gonna continue to drag the country down plus whatever brand of crazy he wants to stick to once he gets into office.

        The truth is you were gonna be screwed (economically) either way. Massa did not give a shit about the country and his greed plus his incompetence (if not his disregard for the good of the people) led to the 140% inflation Argentina is currently experiencing. Milei on the other hand is legitimately crazy (I’m not talking about the conservatism) and also economically incompetent. I understand why he won, and I agree that Massa led the country to the disaster it is in now.

        The options you could have voted for were both essentially promising to drag the country down. The only difference was that Milei hasn’t had a chance to prove it yet, and that makes him seem more promising than Massa who has proven to be who he is. Short of a miracle or a revolution, you were always gonna get the short end of the stick, economically speaking (which is what most voters obviously care about). I wish you the best and still hope it might turn out better than it seems right now.

          And thats why Milei probably looks attractive. Accelerationists probably think he is the perfect person to put in power to lead the state to an eventual revolution.

    Whelp, get ready for literally everything to get sold off to pay the IMF. They’ll be stripping the wiring from the walls soon.

      Bitcoin does present a possible solution to the monetary woes of Argentina.

      Mileis election signals a growing awareness that central bankers are just scammers and getting off the gold standard was one of the biggest mistakes humanity ever made.

        Ahahah. No. Cryptocurrency is for rubes to get rubed, and tying a State’s sovereign fiat money to a commodity belongs in the dustbin of history.

            The value of a State’s fiat money comes from them requiring that taxes be paid in that same money. Yes they can print as much money as they want, but they don’t, and they can regulate its value by destroying some of it through taxation.

                If they can print as much money as they like then they obviously they can always make any interest payment, as former Fed. Chair Alan Greenspan himself has plainly stated.

                Furthermore, the government doesn’t need to borrow money in the first place, because again, it can print as much as it wants.
                So you might ask, why does our government create these treasury securities in the first place? I think the answer is largely twofold. Firstly as another tool for managing inflation. By giving the wealthy a safe place to profitably park their money, that money is temporarily removed from the real economy. Secondly because those same wealthy capitalists are the ones calling the shots in the first place, and they want a safe place to profitably park their money.
