Thousands protest as hunger grows amid Argentine austerity
Thousands protested across Argentina on Friday to demand food aid for the poor as soaring inflation and President Javier Milei's harsh austerity measures take their toll.
"When we hit rock bottom, we will bounce back,"
Any historic precedent for a country applying massive austerity measures during times of poverty, which has then "bounced back"?
Translation: we must kill the poor so that we can be rich.
No one is talking about how these extreme austerity measures will affect the most vulnerable people
Children lose very measurable nueral brain growth you don't get back if malnourished in the beginning. We're literally making a new class of measurably different human...
No. Plenty of evidence of it crashing systems and worsening recessions from the Great Depression though, compared to spending programs like the New Deal.
That said, there isn't a Great Depression, at the moment. Selling off public assets to foreign neocolonialists will produce short term benefits...
For their new oligarchy, since ancaps sure as fuck aren't reinvesting those funds into public education and infrastructure.
Um, i suppose you could apply the effect of the black plague on middle ages europe.
Estimated to have killed 1/3 of all people. There was a subsequent rise in wages/worker bargaining power attributed to the lack of labour supply.
I suppose thats an example of rock bottom and coming back with some benefit.
I wouldn't call it 'bouncing' back though, more like struggling on with a sliver of silver on those grey clouds. Not an adviseable course for a country to take.
Let's see if his escape helicopter bounce back
Somalia?
Ah yes, the economic miracle of...Somalia??
"When we hit rock bottom, we will bounce back," he said.
Or maybe you'll just go splat.
We should normalize hating anyone of thing with hundreds of millions in wealth. The disparity must be called bs everywhere.
So the communist leaders of the last twenty years MADE THEIR MONEY IN POLITICS are much more to blame as a SOCCER MILLIONAIRE.. Right ? ⚽👍👍👍
Argentina is where a surprising amount of zero day exploits are written.
Qualified tech workers combined with non-existent earnings prospects make for a perfect recipe for an exploits industry. Those things allegedly pay pretty well if you can find them.
It's also a great recipe for brain drain, with aforementioned qualified tech workers moving out of the country.
Can you ppl just block the milei cult members? Stop trying to argue with these kids
Wow, so poverty percentages were 0 before this government?
No, wait, they had 49% poverty by November 2023.
And you tell me that after all these changes to reduce spend, it went up by 8%? I would have expected it to reach 90% to be honest.
No, it's because you seem angry and unreasonable
Where? It's literally people saying my name like I am known amongst the ZURDOSDEMM
You write like a maniac. Like someone standing on a street corner, screaming about conspiracies at anyone unfortunate enough to pass by.
Nobody is going to pay attention when you're blasting messages with all caps, minimal punctuation, and long strings of emoji. Most will simply ignore you and move on. Many will downvote on their way past.
Paid shills? On lemmy? Do you even know what that means?
Fascists and their supporters do tend to play down the atrocities in the beginning, this tracks from 2c who is a known psychophant.
I'm going to pretend i didnt flub sycophant and came up with a fun portmanteau instead
This is a logical fallacy, attacking the person and not the actual point made. Since my point isnt even a point. It's just supporting the guy who won and is trying to get rid of LEFT WING POLITICS THAT BANKRUPTED THE COUNTRY AND SOLD IT TO CHINA.
argentina owns not even it's own ports and should give free money to non working people? Let the UN handle that.
