Can anyone honestly name one thing that has gotten better with Milei? I'm being serious? I understand that some electronics and clothes have come down in price. But I can't see any other improvements in my day to day life.

Nope. The cost of everything has shot up and continuing to go up. My friends here complain about tuition exploding. Condo expenses keep going up. Restaurants are obscene. Ubers are double from what they were. Healthcare costs have gone up.

I can't think of anything that has improved for me.

That is a good question and something I asked from friends that live in BA. The only thing they tell me which is nice is that there aren't nearly as many protests and they don't allow protestors to block the roads. Before they were frequent and they even burned tires and blocked the highway to the airport. I missed a flight once. They said that is about it.

Some say inflation came down in some things but went way way up in most other things so it's a moot point. Their salaries aren't keeping up.

This is one of the best things is they reigned in protestors blocking the road. They don't tolerate it which is great. They are avoidable if you know when they will be and I just avoided downtown when they had them. But many people had to work downtown and couldn't avoid them before.

More products are here now with Milei and prices are coming down on electronics but I don't buy those things. Anytime I need something I buy it in the USA or @earlyretirement and @Johnny last 2 trips have brought me many items from the USA. I don't buy them here.

People like that the protest situation is better. Things are more stable at the stores with pricing. Sure they may fluctuate a little but before prices at the store were going up daily. Restaurants would have the prices on paper and they were changing them so frequently. Some fast food places didn't have the prices on the board because it kept changing. So that is good. Maybe not for expats that had the dollars to exchange.

All the problems that Argentina had aren't going to be fixed quickly.

Expats over the past 2 years have felt it the hardest because they were formally in a situation where we had a USD that always went up. We never like when the peso gets stronger as it makes our lives more expensive. People are getting tired but they voted the past mid-term to continue on with this experiment even if it is painful. You have to admire them for that. I am not sure the next one will go so easy.

Many of my friends that were formally supporting him have thrown in the towel after this Israel thing.

Almost nothing has gotten better with Milei. He says inflation is lower but look at the cost of things! Some of you are blind. People are literally killing themselves because Milei cut off access to their medicines. Think about that.

Enough said!

You can't have change when the President and his family are grifting. Look at Libragate. Look at the social scam grift by his sister. They campaigned against the caste and they are the new caste. Staying in 3,500 a night suites. Bringing in needless people to NYC. Once the IMF money and aid from the United States stops (it always does). That $$$ never goes on forever then you will see Milei won't make it.

It's highly likely the Republicans won't be in office next term and that won't be good for Argentina.

Yes he has changed Argentina's destiny.

All the local companies are going out of business or laying off their staff.
