Politics Thread: President Javier Milei - From Decree of Necessity and Urgency (DNU) to Today

[crypto]

But look at that photo. Yes that guy Sam is the CEO of the OpenAI company but also look in the photos and several employees of the Worldcoin scam they are doing in Argentina too. Sounds like Worldcoin is trying to get some deal and better end of the stick.

Crypto Worldcoin Iris Scan Scam in Argentina. Is anyone doing it?

I love all things crypto. I'd sell my kidneys for crypto! (Needless to say I'm a Milei fan boy). I am hearing more and more Argentines that are signing up for Worldcoin crypto. The company is paying people to get their iris/eyes scanned and then use your personal information with your...

Yeah I just posted in that Worldcoin thread. I was surprised to see those people in the meeting with Milei. I thought it was about the OpenAI possibilities. Sounds like they want to expand their scanning of the Irises in Argentina. Getting this thread back on track I saw this approval rating for Milei by ages. I was surprised to see the older approval so high. Must be because he increases their pensions?

This is the reason why Milei went to Silicon Valley. Here is one of the guy's Milei traveled there with.

This article really sums up what many people are starting to feel right now.

When I got in a taxi after Milei’s arena performance, its elderly driver, José, asked if I had been inside.
“Is now really the right time for a show?” he grumbled. “He wants to be famous around the world, but his feet aren’t touching the ground.”

Milei is in la la land and traveling all over the world and is a rock star in his own mind. Argentina has real issues and many problems are around the corner if electricity and heat and gas experience issues. He is spending as much time outside of Argentina than inside.

I gotta give it to Milei. He doesn't back down. He confronted a group of protestors today at Stanford.

Hopefully Francos is more effective. Here was a great article today.

This is very bad news indeed. Not getting the signatures needed really hurts because no one knows when it will be debated in the Senate. Typical Argentina.

Francos is a skilled negotiator / he will do a better job than Posse who was an intelligent guy but not a good polotician

These guys seem to be too busy voting in their salary increases.

True but you don't think people will riot and protest? While people are starving they vote these kind of raises. While Milei is taking selfies with various people, people are rioting outside of his house.

These kind of things will keep happening.

The strange thing is President Milei hasn't posted anything on his X account which I would have assumed he would be all over if it was a done deal.

I will believe it once I see Milei posting about it.
