To give you an idea, according to specialists, the minimum wage today has less purchasing power than it did in 2001, and we all know what happened back then. In that time, the economy collapsed, people lost their savings, there was a major social and economic crisis, and poverty dramatically increased. Today, although the circumstances are different, we’re living through a kind of 'silent crisis,' where people, even with jobs, are still struggling to make ends meet. The difference now is that we’re not seeing massive protests or looting, but the sense of uncertainty is very similar. People aren’t spending on luxuries; they’re being forced to juggle just to cover the basics like food, rent, and utilities. In a way, Argentinians have gotten used to surviving on the bare minimum, but the pressure keeps building up, and sadly, the purchasing power of many families is still lower than it was two decades ago. The economic outlook still leaves many unanswered questions, and if urgent measures aren’t taken, history could repeat itself.
