Goodbye any environmental regulations, Argentina is about to top China on air, water, and ground pollution.

But won’t anyone think of the shareholders? If those pesky regulations stayed in place they wouldn’t be able to afford a second yatch.

As shitty as this will be for the people of Argentina, it will be intriguing to see what a true right-wing fanatic is able to fuck up when given the authority to do so.

The thing is, we already know how this goes, because Argentina has had right-wing fanatics in charge before.

The economy is done. That’s how it goes. Everyone except the super rich will be reintroduced to extreme poverty, and anyone who leans even slightly left-wing will have to fear for their lives.

One day it’ll be in textbooks as a warning. But people are condemned to ignore it. They’ll say: “but our right wing guy isn’t that kind of fuckup”. And the cycle continues.

I know this was probably meant to be tongue-in-cheek, but it looks like you’re advocating genocide. Are you sure you meant to post it as above?

There is nothing else to fuck up in Argentina. Inflation is a death certificate.

Cool, cool. Handing oligarchs all of the state’s assets while removing all oversight is an outstanding plan. It worked out great for Russia; they’ll never forget how wonderful things were in the 90s.

Milei voters have condemned us all. Those of us who didn’t support him did everything in our power (legally) to stop him from sitting in the Pink House. Now, let’s hope the Congress behaves in accordance with the Constitution. The new DNU (Emergency Bill) is mostly unconstitutional. And if the Congress does the duty they’re supposed to do, it won’t be put in motion. Fascists voted for fascism and made everyone around think that fascism was acceptable.

I’ve been watching in horror as he has followed the fascist playbook. I wish you the best of luck and all the safety in the world.

Thank you for your concern. I hope everything works out in the end and he gets either replaced or carried away via helicopter. I really can’t see myself living peacefully and safely on a fascist state. Much less when he believes socialists like me are “human garbage” basically. Fun because it is not that dificult to be a better person that this moronic rockstar pretender.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The right-wing libertarian announced the moves for South America’s second biggest economy just hours after thousands of Argentines took to the streets of the capital to protest against austerity and deregulation actions taken last week by Milei.

Marchers set out toward Buenos Aires’ iconic Plaza de Mayo, the scene of protests dating back to the country’s 1970s dictatorship.

Today’s was Milei’s first test of how his administration would respond to demonstrations against economic shock measures, which he says are needed to address Argentina’s severe crisis.

The document says the security protocol is “incompatible with the rights to free assembly and association, freedom of expression and social protest” recognized by Argentina’s constitution.

A recent poll by the University of Buenos Aires’ Observatory of Applied Social Psychology said 65% of those surveyed agree with banning street blockages.

Milei, a 53-year-old economist who rose to fame on television with profanity-laden tirades against what he called the political caste, became president with the support of Argentines disillusioned with the economic crisis.


The original article contains 721 words, the summary contains 167 words. Saved 77%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
