      Multiple people have called me optimistic for saying so but when the fucking pigs start squealing their hatred of you in solidarity with public servants you know it's not going well

      He’s worse than comically bad and if I were him I would start to consider if trying to finish my term was worth seriously risking my life.

    Libertarianism is when you use centralized state power to beat people into line.

      Doncha know that preventing the restoration of monarchs and landed gentry is literally 1984 Stalinism!? Stop being so entitled, moocher!

    Provincial police have a long history of going on strike for better salaries. It happened in the province of Tucumán many years ago. However, this time around, milei has decided not to give provincial states any funds and Misiones (which is also a small ish province) has zero budget for shit like this. And in the context of raging inflation and incredibly obsolete salaries, well, it's a recipe for disaster.

    Now, the moment these cops get their raise they will immediately start bashing heads left and right of other protesters. No worker should see a cop as a potential ally. They're always the enemy.

      They might not get a raise soon enough at this rate. Milei fired most of the department in charge of issuing government payments

        Always pay your guys on time. Don't try telling them you can pay them later, the moment you admit you don't have the money they're no longer your guys.

        Yeah it's looking bad. Not only the provincial governments suffered tremendous cuts to their personnel, but at the same time milei is actively undermining them by retaining automatic transfers of funds from the central government to the provincial governments, known as the Federal Co-Participation scheme, which is constitutional. These funds come from some national taxes that we all pay.

        In my view, this retention of funds serves two purposes: First it gives milei a powerful tool to force governors to follow him or at the very least present as little resistence as possible. Let us remember now that milei's party, La Libertad Avanza, has very limited political power despite being in the Executive power. They don't have a majority in either upper or lower chambers, they depend almost exclusively on support from PRO (standard neolibs) and UCR ("socdem" neolibs) if they want to pass on any project. They also have a grand total of zero provincial governors of their own, meaning that here they rely exclusively on support from PRO-aligned provincial governors and others like-minded individuals. So, by retaining funds he might be able to force some governors to do X or Y thing like support his ridiculous law packages, or directly undermine rival governors like the peronist Axel Kicillof, governor of Buenos Aires (except the Federal Capital, this is a different entity).

        Second, it serves as a mere propaganda tool. He insisted over and over again during his campaign about balancing the budget, the never-ending quest to reach "deficit zero", which means cutting down pretty much every public spending from public works to all social assistance programs. The Federal Co-participation scheme is yet another thing that "creates deficit".

        In the case of Misiones the province is starved of funds like pretty much all others. The common thing governments do here is release some funds, pay the pigs and counterattack against the other protests. But we don't have a "common" government anymore, so it's all in the fucking air lmao.

          It’s really funny watching the Milei government operate like a somehow more stupid version of Castillo’s Peru, but with even worse ideological framework.

          Unfortunately, it’s no longer funny when you remember that this is actually real life.

    “One more shock therapy bro. I promise bro, we double down on trusting porky we will have utopia any day bro. Communism bad because middle school said so bro. Cold War, bro. Please, just one more austerity measure bro and the wealth will finally trickle down!”

    Anarcho-capitalism is NOT beating its meme ideology allegations.

    So I recently found out Argentina has the second largest lithium reserves in the world, below Bolivia. Bolivia of course reversed the US coup against it and then Argentina "elects" this weirdo? Seems a tad suspicious to me.

      Sergio Massa (Left-Wing Peronist Candidate) was a very poor choice tbh. But Milei had the help of basically everyone in the right and the media.

      Nah, Javier Milei is the kind of guy who is too lazy to learn Portuguese even though he lives right next to Brazil.
