Persistent inflation, rising unemployment, and corruption cases are creating the worst possible panorama for the president’s public image

In a scenario constructed from the official statistics promoted by the government, Javier Milei’s Argentina is a happy world: poverty is falling to its lowest level in the last seven years, economic activity is reaching record highs, and fiscal balance is being maintained.

But, simultaneously, more and more people say that their present situation doesn’t align with the successes touted by the far-right president, a disconnect pointed out not only by his detractors but even by figures of economic orthodoxy aligned with his policies.

    fElon definitely didn’t see it coming … that dopey prick thought Argentina was walking into prosperous time when Mileiovic got put into power. Hopefully they use that stupid chainsaw metaphor they loved so much, but this time on Milei’s frumpy little libertarian limbs.

        Oh, I was absolutely being facetious. I know what he did was malevolent and evil. I hope they both get sent into woodchippers feet first so they can watch each other get munched up.
