This is true @TonyTigre. These days it takes work now to go out and try to research what the truth is. It used to be you could go to a reputable mainstream media to see what the truth was but even those sources are tainted now. With social media and fake news it's harder than ever. Also, we have to contend with AI generated fake news also. I worry about the future with people that don't have the time or inclination to research out what the real truth is.
I agree about listening to both sides of anything and finding the truth. That is easier said than done these days. There is so much misinformation out there these days and like someone else mentioned, the media today can't be trusted.
I think in most places around the world this has gotten worse. Everyone is so divided it seems like in every country. Same thing going on in the US right now and really the past several years. It takes work to try to look objectively at things. @TonyTigre you are right about this. I try not to look at just my point of view now. But the problem is when I try to stay more neutral and objective, I get attacked by both sides! It can be frustrated. I really hate both Trump and Biden as choices and tried to talk to my friends about RFK and they both say I'm stupid. Everyone trying to argue why they are right and you are wrong.

All the press I see here in the US about Milei has all been very positive. I'm not sure if that is matching what is going on there locally. Maybe not as I just noticed the exchange rate jumped up to 1,400 to $1.Everyone is getting to know how to spell Argentina @TonyTigre but it's not for positive economic reasons. Poverty is going up, unemployment is getting worse, recession is deepening, This is probably what you didn't have in mind.
Argentina's social indicators cast doubt over Milei's 'catastrophe' averted claim
Social indicators cast doubt over Milei's 'catastrophe' averted claim
President Javier Milei recently stated that the government’s social policy is “extremely good” and it had help prevent a “catastrophe.” Yet the government's own data and reports produced by private institutions indicate most social indicators have recorded a step backwards since he took office.
Argentina is a wonderful country but full of many issues and problems. Hopefully, someday it can turn the corner but things are very complex there. My husband was the CFO of a large company there and most days wanted to pull his hair out. He often says it was the most stressful point of his career. It sounds like not too much has changed so far but holding hope with the new President.
Does anyone know who conducted the "study"? Any links to the study?And reality sets in. Study after study noting how Argentines are fairing worse off under Milei.
Argentines fairing worse off under Milei, study finds
Studies published this week corroborate that Argentines are fairing worse off under President Javier Milei, with people sinking into poverty despite having formal jobs which showed in a dwindling consumption of red meat, among other items, in a country that used to top the world's lists.en.mercopress.com
Not sure where the study is from but I'm sure there are also studies out there that tell how people are better off with inflation curtailed and no hyperinflation. Much of all of this is all political.
I have a few friends that lost their jobs and have been struggling to find a new one. The recession is bad now and some say will get worse. Many are fairing worse under Milei. It is a positive that inflation is slowing down but I am getting flashbacks of provinces printing their own quasi currencies. Seeing the blue dollar also go back up strongly now shows there is plenty of trouble here.And reality sets in. Study after study noting how Argentines are fairing worse off under Milei.

This will be Milei's downfall. His sister and others around him are feeding him BS telling him everything is great. He is going around the world giving speeches how he will win the Nobel prize when things are not going well here. He goes to Brazil to yet another right wing conference.I have a few friends that lost their jobs and have been struggling to find a new one. The recession is bad now and some say will get worse.

I hope Milei concentrates on some of these issues instead of flying all over to attend right wing events.

Well one thing Milei can claim is beef consumption in Argentina is the lowest in 110 years. So he can claim that to his resume of accomplishments for Argentina in his first 6 months in office.@GlasgowJohn I think said it best that Milei is the biggest narcissist in the world.
First he said he deserves to win the Nobel prize. Now he is claiming he has done more in 6 months than anyone has done in 100 years for Argentina.
Milei: "En estos seis meses hicimos más por Argentina que en los últimos 100 años"
El Presidente hizo esta afirmación durante una entrevista por TV, en la que también habló sobre inflación, devaluación, inseguridad, Mauricio Macri y hasta el caso Loan.
Oh wow. I thought you were joking but I just looked on Google and I see it's not a joke. I can't figure out if this new President is doing well or not from reading posts on this forum.

I don't think there is any rhyme or reason with some of these cuts. They just want to desperately cut spending. I heard that many of the people getting laid off are noquis but we know people that also got laid off and they had vital roles. In this type of deep recession not sure they will be able to find another job easily. Many other companies are also cutting staff or will be soon.The government laid off 300 interns from Conicet, and I don't understand why they cut funding in the scientific sector instead of other areas with many more employees. I imagine there are more unnecessary positions in those areas than at Conicet.

All these things might be true but at least from the people that I talk to in Argentina, they blame previous administrations for this mess. Milei didn't cause it. His popularity numbers and approval ratings are still very high.Everyone is getting to know how to spell Argentina @TonyTigre but it's not for positive economic reasons.

Here is also a list I found online. The highest approval ratings are from Cordoba and also Mendoza.
