No wonder it is falling. Prices keep going up.

It is clear that this experiment is not working. Tons of stores closing. Consumers aren't spending.

The guy is a retard that thinks he is a rock star. They stole from programs so he could sing shitty music in an arena. What a jack ass.

Looking back there were many signs the guy was a nut.

We made the biggest adjustment in history and nothing happened,


The chainsaw meant a 30% cut in national public spending. And 30% less funding meant wiping out a good part of our productive and social structure.

• Defunding and massive layoffs at the INDEC.
• Dismantling of the INTI and INTA (key for our country's development, and for quality and health control of practically everything).
• Million-dollar debt from PAMI.
• Fewer medications for retirees.
• Elimination of the Remediar plan (free medications for the most vulnerable).
• No social gas cylinders for a year.
• Dismantling of 50% of funds for Science and technology.
• Failing to comply with the educational financing law.
• Failing to comply with the disability law and leaving thousands of adults and children without therapies.
• 1,100% increase in bus fares and increasingly worse service, with huge delays to catch a bus.
• Stopping assistance to community soup kitchens.
• Canceling community daycare centers (kids from vulnerable neighborhoods who now have nowhere to go).
• Eliminating the Potenciar Trabajo plan while registered job destruction and unemployment grow. Only informal and single-tax jobs are created.
• Roads wrecked by near-total halt of public works.
• ZERO sewers.
• Not finishing the reversal of the northern gas pipeline and importing more expensive gas from Bolivia again.
• Not building Phase 2 of the NK gas pipeline and continuing to import LNG in winter (now double the price due to the war).

I remember this interview. There were many people that had doubts before the election. Many people didn't really vote for him more than they voted for change and hope.

Unfortunately that hope is fading. Still, you never know. I know many people that say there is no other choice but don't count out PRO if they get a candidate. We will have a good indicator how many people turn out for the Cacerolazo on April 29.

People are tired and the corruption just pushed people to their limit. I also don't think that Milei and Caputo really understand how things are for the typical person on the street. They lost touch with the common person and the struggles they are going through.

Wish I was in BA to go to this protest. Figured this was how things would turn out when I decided to move to Spain. My Novia's family all think I am a genius for predicting this.
