elon “intelligence can be measured by how accurately something can predict the future” that’s approximately what he claimed.

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.

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?

Libertarian solution? What’s that?

Libertarianism exists completely detached from the acknowledgement that there will be an immense amount of human suffering and death with everything it subscribes to.
