Considering how close they are, he's probably very concerned about what a scorned Cunha could do if arrested. And now this is back to being funny on a funny way.

What do the people on the floor make of this? Is this....good? Corrupt politicians going away is always good, but who's next? Would Lula run if they call for early elections? Who the hell is going to take Neves position, and would anyone vote for them? When you have the party leaders acting like this you really can't trust any of them.

Gotta admit waking up in a remote house in Patagonia with no light, no phone service and the last messages I received being about a Globsl/regional energy blackout was interesting in a post apocalyptic kind of way. The airport I'm in having lost power twice since arrived fills me with confidence. Also funny how everyone was blsming Macri as soon as it happened

Is there a good article about the chilean reform? As in, with the specifics of what changes are wanted. I imagine that with 80% support not everyone is in agreement, but anything would do. Every single article i've seen (admittedly not rom chilean media) has been extremely vague. Basically "get rid of the pinochet consittution to help reduce inequality". But HOW? What's the plan? What phrasing or constitutional guarantees do they what to add? Or what far right stuff is there to remove? I can imagine that guaranteeing a 0 cost higher education for everyone is a priority, but what else?

Badger of Basra posted:People talking about dollarization as a good idea is so wild considering they already tried it once in the 90s and it crashed the economy But what an amazing 10 year run! People got tired of a bust and bust cycle, they are hoping for a boom. I don’t think anyone is actually hopeful og going back to Argentina’s heyday. But yeah, dollarizatiom is probably an allure to “just” 10-15% of his base, he will probably change tone, because it really is impossible without doing idiotic stuff Eric Cantonese posted:Aren't Milei's beliefs basically neoliberalism after a coke binge? He struck me as the choice of a bunch of people who think things can't get any worse because it's too depressing to realize that things can always get worse. And voting for the finance minister presiding over 50% poverty and 150-200% inflation the recipe for things getting better?

a pipe smoking dog posted:Well yes el problema es el capitalismo, obviously, but what is it about Argentina that makes it so spectacularly deranged? There are 4 types of economies. Developed nations, underdeveloped nations, Japan and Argentina. Don't ask for explanations, enjoy the journey. Milei will privatize stuff, it will get expropriated again. Same as it ever was. Massa will be president yet. His name is too close to Messi, and Messi had to lose a final before winning, mark my words. What party will he be running with? Who knows. But he sure would beat a Kicillof presidency. Milei at least has a "reduce the state and train the people to work" message, not even Bullrich was clear with that, despite how obvious it is.

Discendo Vox posted:Of these different institutional/policy needs, what's the order of operations that makes them plausible? Isn't that the million dollar question? Getting foreign investment is most likely out of the quesiton, they learned their lesson after Macri. A stronger judicial power would be a good start for Milei, and something he could feasibly accomplish. Turning off the money printing machine too. Reducing government spend. Of course firing people increases the need to print money for social plans until they get a job. So then you need to incentivize small companies, make it easier to do business. Lower the tax burden on them. Then yu get into making it easier to hire/fire people, which is a touchy issue.

Yes, if anything Milei is bucking the most recent latinamerican trend. Of course a couple of years ago the trend WAS right wing stuff in latam, brasil, bolivia, chile and Argentina kind of had that going for a while. Now the pendulum is swinging the other way. It will all happen again.

busalover posted:Is there any chance of seeing a resurgence of military dicatorships in places like Argentina and Chile? Or has the army been dismantled too much over the past decades to carry any weight? lmao, of course it's your second post in the thread. Let me guess, from the US? It's been funny seeing Milei images used as a meme by english speakers in non-political contetxs. On the other hand, there{s going to be a lot of eyes on Argentina when it crashes and burns this time, it's gonna be embarrasing. OTOH, if he gets inflation under three digits it may lead other countries to go "why don't we vote for our crazy guy", which would lead to intereting times, in the curse sense.

Argentina was the richest country in the world, or top 3, around -1900. What happened then was grain prices and other commodities was way up. We looked at that, said “great”, and never pushed the economy beyond primary resources. Perón tried to lock down imports to incentivise local industry, but surprisingly that doesn’t work that well! The only success stories in argentina are non industrial players selling software. Mercado Libre fighting with Amazon in latam, Globant selling software to Fortune 50 companies, Wolox bought by accenture. With how cheap our labor is if we managed to process some of those grains and oil before exporting or whatever we’d be much better off. Chances of Milei getting any of that done? Ehhhhh….I’ll settle for simplifying the tax code and reducing part of the state.

Lmao, that's an awfully wrong interpretation of the content, don't look at my avatar, i'm objective... Strikes aren't mentioned at all in the content. This is specifically about protests that block streets. People would still be allowed to manifest in the sidewalks. Whether that's fair or not it's up to debate. And in order to make in enforceable people found blocking streets will no longer be eligible for government welfare. According to many most of the people in this type of protest don't even know why they are there, there are many interviews where this is put in evidence. They are threatened by the people that manage access to the welfare programs, "go or you will no longer get this money". The government established a hotline to denounce this type of extorsion and was getting hundreds of calls. This is what the "My Argentina" app, used for bureaucratic stuff, looked like for people that receive government assistance. It reminded them that if you cut the streets you are cut off the money.  Again, take all the above with a grain of salt, I'm just sharing the right wing view. But the original post was full of bad translations and bad faith interpretations completely removed from the intent.
