Context:
The chilean legislature lower chamber was having a vote on impeaching the current president (an oligarch vermin), for impeachment they needed X votes and they had X-1 available votes because one legislator was in quarantine, which ended at the end of that same day, so a leftist legislator talked for 15 hours in order to push the voting after 00:00 so the missing dude could enter the precint and vote. And the madlad did it. He talked for 15 hours.
Yesterday a presidential candidate of “center” / “center-right” said this leftist dude was going to be her campaing leader or something like that, and everyone was like “WTF ?”. Turns out those idiots unironically asked the dude to be his campaign leader and he said yes sarcastically, but the idiots didn’t get it.
They had me for a second ngl. i didnt see the video at first tho. But Yasna kinda has to pull some shit if she wants to save her campaign after Goic torpedoed the pension fund withdrawal in the senate.
What's up with all that, I'd like to read a long explanation about the pension withdrawal thing. I was reading an article about how they pushed the fourth withdrawal some weeks and cool people were angry but some cool people said it's good akchually in the long run cuz less fine-print fuckery or something like that. Anyways, what's up with all that?
There are some people that are really passionate about it, which doesn't include me personally but i still support the withdrawal. Because ever since the pandemic began, people are short-strapped for cash and people hate the private pension funds. But of course the crux of the issue is that then people wont have that money later on as pensioners. The right-wing also says it will destabilize and weaken capital markets and lead to a recession. But what is much more realistic is that a recession will take place if people dont withdraw money forcing them to spend much less (or go bankrupt). The leftist solution is obliviously to create a new pension system and a redistributive tax on the ultra-rich (to offset the withdrawals for most people). I dont really know any leftist that really fundamentally disagree with it though, who or what did you read if you remember?
Meh just some biobiochile news that clearly sounded biased cuz the related article was "Rejection of fourth pension withdrawal keeps US dollar below 800 $"
Fun fact, we are not so far from get even 1 cl $ = 1 arg $
