It is clear that author of the NYT piece doesn't know Argentina at all. Probably never been here. And to expect inflation results the month after taking office??? That isn't realistic. If Massa won you wouldn't want to see what the first 100 days would be like. We would be in hyperinflation right now.
Avocado I doubt Milei is going to be sad over those leftist thugs.All the Presidents and Leaders around Latin America hate President Milei.

How are they measuring if all these employees are unproductive? I am curious about this. Firing 15,000 workers in a week sounds like potential to create huge problems with crime, etc. Shocking to read someone working 15 years at a government agency and only making $250 USD per month. I would love to see some breakdown or the typical person that got fired. Like this worker in the National Road Safety office. I wonder what his job was?Most of the international press I read is overwhelmingly positive towards Milei. I've only read a few articles online that are negative. @Avocado does a good job of posting negative articles. Here is one below. In thinking about a move there I was wondering how the expats there feel? Do you prefer when the economy is bad and your cost of living is better or are you ok with it getting more expensive and overall society benefiting but it more expensive for you?
Is Javier Milei making Argentina great again?
The new Argentine president is popular with American libertarians, but his record at home looks increasingly populist and authoritarian.reason.com
Supermarket is getting a bit better. But everything else seem like it going up. All the time in restaurant cost more. Every month more expensive for me. At supermarket things go down that were marked up because no one was buying items. Prices will probably never go back to what they were.

Exactly. Left-wing media and supporters will always try to blame others or spin things.@Avocado Milei didn't cause this mess. He inherited this incredibly horrible economy. Do you acknowledge that? It seems like majority of Argentines are willing to be a bit patient. I know you aren't. Give him a year or two and if things haven't turn around you can say you were right. But you can't expect miracles overnight. Extreme poverty existed long before he started.

It seems like tremendous progress is being made with the reserves.
Argentines and foreign investors are gaining more confidence that a strong recovery is possible soon
President Javier Milei expressed that the Government has various reasons for optimism. He highlighted positive survey data despite the severe economic recession and asserted that Argentina will experience a robust economic recovery once the stocks are opened. In addition, the President stated...
Inflation is slowing down. Whether you want to admit it or not @Avocado. Medical bills should slow or stop going up now. Supermarkets have lowered prices as consumers weren't buying. Milei isn't doing anything that he didn't tell us ahead of time he would do. None of what he is doing should be a surprise to anyone as this was his playbook from the start.
Milei is doing terrible! I don't know how anyone can argue anything else. All of you were complaining about inflation under CFK and it was nothing like this. The inflation of the past quarter is the worst inflation Argentina has experienced. Even inflation in dollars is high. Everything is more expensive. I have been saying for months and months things were going to get expensive and get as much as States or Europe and that is happening. Many things are 2X or some 3X what they were a few months ago.I read that the US is very bullish on trade with Argentina. Seems like everyone is saying Argentina is getting better. But it seems like inflation is the worst than ever. I came last year and prices are 2X what they were last year. So is the economy good or bad? Half my friends say it is horrible and worse than ever and they can't afford anything. The other half at the same time are telling me things are improving. Which is correct?
