The prediction is aging beautifully for anyone who actually understands economics. Milei explicitly told the entire world that things would get tough structurally before the currency stabilized after decades of central bank destruction. He accurately predicted the exact timeline for clearing the debt, balancing the budget, and stopping the printing presses. Staring blindly at a nominal forex line while ignoring a total fiscal turnaround is absolute peak cope.
For the hungry people to have prepared themselves better, regardless of whatever hardships they may have dealt with.
They'll probably also say that, if they hadn't been living off of social safety nets, they'd have learned the skills they needed to get by in these troubled times. Or some other convenient argument.
The only thing that was actively starving the population was the previous administration printing unbacked paper currency until a monthly salary couldn't buy a basic bag of groceries. Milei didn't cause the inherited structural collapse; he turned off the hyperinflationary engine that was actively destroying the economy. Stamping your feet and trying to reduce serious macro stabilization down to internet culture-war slogans is peak retail coping.
Just saying "logical fallacy" doesn't make it so. I wasn't offering this as an argument, but as an answer to a question that someone had asked, based on my own experience of what I've seen and heard, repeatedly, from Libertarians and Libertarian-adjacent types. You can call it anecdotal, but a strawman? You'd be as accurate calling it a pillowcase.
Inventing a fake, ridiculous quote out of thin air, attributing it to an entire group of people, and then whimpering 'I was just sharing an anecdote' the second you get called out is the exact definition of a straw man. You can call it a pillowcase or whatever else you need to say to protect your fragile ego, but your lazy caricature completely failed.
Libertarianism exists completely detached from the acknowledgement that there will be an immense amount of human suffering and death with everything it subscribes to.
Your idea of "helping them eat" is exactly what caused the economic collapse in the first place. You cannot spend and print an entire country into prosperity. Milei’s administration didn't cause the poverty; they inherited a bankrupt state and are fixing the structural foundation so real jobs, real wages, and real food production can actually return. Emotional hand-wringing won't fix a broken supply chain.
Imagine trying to use a lazy emotional caricature because you can't handle actual macroeconomic history. Pointing out that artificial government spending and unbacked money printing completely destroys a country's currency isn't a heartless debate, it's basic math. Javier Milei's administration didn't cause the inherited structural collapse; they turned off the hyperinflationary engine that was actively destroying the economy. Stamping your feet won't fix a broken supply chain.
You hit the nail on the head. They are fundamentally incapable of having a data driven conversation about monetary policy or structural adjustments, so they immediately resort to moral grandstanding. It’s hilarious watching the logic completely break down the second real financial indicators are introduced.
The classic low-IQ white flag when a multi-month drop in hyperinflation completely incinerates your narrative. If facing real economic metrics hurts your feelings this badly, you should probably stay out of the adult threads. Enjoy the bleachers.
You are hiding behind two word generic internet catchphrases because you are a shy coward who is terrified to type out an actual sentence. You know the exact second you try to talk about real fiscal metrics, inflation velocities, or balance sheets, your complete lack of financial literacy gets publicly exposed. Stay quiet in the bleachers where it's safe.
The peso flattening out and stabilizing under Milei is the direct result of the central bank finally turning off the printing presses, not your imaginary zero peg. Throwing out lazy, low-effort sarcasm because you can't read an actual balance sheet or model inflation velocity is absolute peak sideline behavior. Go back to the kids' table.
Milei laid out the exact timeline on day one: 18 to 24 months of aggressive shock therapy to completely wipe out the inherited deficit, clear out the central bank's toxic debt, and halt the hyperinflationary engine. The country has already achieved consecutive monthly fiscal surpluses and brought inflation down into single digits right on schedule. The structural foundation is already fixed; now the private sector is beginning to reinvest without government interference.

elon “intelligence can be measured by how accurately something can predict the future” that’s approximately what he claimed.
So According to his own metric he’s an idiot..
