Who's the one actually obsessed here?

You follow me around like a puppy dog posting the same thing over and over again. No, you can't give me hawk tuah. Offer an actual argument or go away. :laughing:
 
Dude, you and the rest of the internet: It ain't a fuggin bird. HOCK, not hawk.

Everyone is just running in the other guy being the worst possible thing so you gotta vote for me to avoid that. At some point we have to stop playing that incredibly stupid game.

I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. Seems like it ultimately always does in central and South America, but so far so good. :smokin:

Oh, I fully expect to be disappointed. But I'll take what I can get!

If this works, hopefully it will be a model for many nations.

Is your intelligent friend from the OP still holding up okay? I'm curious if he is just spinning it all as nonsense or just taking the other side about how this is all bad stuff because property owners are evil

Oh, he hates Milei. He says the regular population is doing worse.

I'd like to see some actual data.

Wouldn't surprise me if it was true to a degree if they had a large amount of general welfare before and that was just gone overnight. But even if that's true, they'll be better off in the long run, there's always going to be at least short term consequences to pulling the band aid off.

Yup, if you drink tequila all night, you've gotta barf. You can barf in the morning and be good by noon, or you can be miserable all day and barf at 8pm

Yep, I often wonder if they ended all welfare here except soup kitchens that you had to line up for food. I bet all of a sudden all those jobs “that Americans won’t do” become more appealing.

Yep, have to reduce it a bit at a time though. 25% at first then 10% a year or so. I bet by year 3 all the ones kicked off the dole would be bitching about the assholes still getting a govt check. :lmao:
 
Argentina is so messed up that even if Jesus himself came down and told them what to do, there would be pain for many years.

And we are heading in that direction.

One could argue that we have passed the tipping point already.

The national debt is not sustainable at current levels let alone at the rate we are adding to it. All previous governments that have attempted to print their way out of the problem have failed from Weimar Republic to Zimbabwe.
Very few have managed to reverse course through austerity, and reduced regulation. I sure hope Argentina is successful though I am sure the IMF are hoping for failure.

Literally the only thing propping us up right now is that the USD is the world's reserve currency and BRICS is a potential major threat to that and it is largely just being completely ignored.

That's why we should be shitting our pants about the Chinese and Africa dealing with middle eastern oil in currencies other than USD.


It's going to be interesting, and we can still blame it on the boomers for not only putting us on this track, but riding it all the way to their death. :flipoff2:

I'm baffled how it's all being completely downplayed by the media and most economists. I think we've just been living in a dollar dominated world for so long that practically no one alive can envision that ever changing. But it absolutely can.

The BRICS block is a number of nations that all their share is their dislike of the US. And they dislike and distrust each other just as much.

The biggest threat to the US remains... Itself.

Yeah, it's our own terrible policies that drives these nations to team up against us. We're banking on them distrusting and disliking each other more than they distrust and dislike us while watching them show that doesn't seem to be the case. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia our "ally" that we fund and protect at all cost while they perpetrate the biggest terror attack ever on American soil has also backed out of the petro dollar agreement. Seen any major outlets reporting on that? The dollar is under massive attack and everyone is just asleep at the wheel.
