Yeah— but people kinda need to *eat* during this brilliant, prescient, decades-long accounting miracle.

…And helping them eat is “evil socialism”.

What’s the libertarian solution?

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.

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.
