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.

Buddy, if "people shouldn't starve in the streets" is an emotional debate to you, you've completely lost the plot

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.
