Argentina Collapses into Poverty - Joe Blogs



In this video I provide an update on the situation in Argentina. Javier Milei was appointed as President in December 2023 at a time when Argentina was facing ECONOMIC MELTDOWN. Over the past 11 months he has introduced a variety of controversial policies which have resulted in a drop in his popularity. Are his radical policies starting to bear fruit or making the situation worse?

Basically - deregulation leading to mass dollarizing and offshoring, plus crushing costs for everyone else.

Milei such a failure - even Trump won't give him more than one of his thumbs-up selfies (quite a snub, really - given how much he kisses that orange derrière).



And sure enough - he's already planning on ways to ignore the results of the next election (in '27), which he'll very likely lose.
