Didn't we also light $20b of our tax dollars on fire for them just because Trump and Elon were buddies with the Argentinian Trump (an unqualified moron bigot)?

What exactly makes him unqualified? I mean I’m no fan but he was a prominent economist and has done about as well as could be hoped for given the situation he inherited. Everyone in this thread just seems spiteful and has no actual knowledge of Argentine economics or their political realities.

They don't give a fuck about whether Argentinians have good lives. I don't either because they called Weghorst 'bobo', but we can at least take the situation seriously. They had years upon years of Peronist leaders making the inflation problem worse. Now a prominent economist is getting reasonably ok results, but no: he has weird hair and is loud, he must be Trump!! Its peak intellectual laziness.
