I think I might change my political views;

I usually skip over these leftists complaining about how bad Milei is doing but I have to admit her idea for people to watch worked. My girlfriend walked in on me watching that and got angry and then I just said I'm keeping abreast on matters in Argentina. Ha! She listened and saw I was correct.

All was fine yesterday. 40% of buses running like normal. Just about every single store I visited was open for business. Gas stations open, all supermarkets, restaurants, cafes. Uber did not even have surge pricing at all. Everything was normal. This entire thing was very political.

 

[Used]

Yes, we were out and about most of the day, business as usual.

Same.

It was indeed an unsuccessful strike with minimal participation. Many people went to work as usual. I only regret the inconvenience for those who wanted to attend their jobs but couldn't.

These union head clowns can't figure out that people are finally ready for change. They should give Milei a chance to try his methods and if they don't work by next year then they can do more strikes but they aren't helping anyone.

All this is very political. Even news is all biased based on if they are to the left or right. I laugh sometimes as I read news articles and it's spun completely the other way.

Thursday's strike, a wake-up call to the Argentine authorities, CGT claims

After Thursday's general strike, Argentina's General Labor Confederation (CGT) said the measure should be as a “wake-up call to the authorities” who “must take note” of the scenario ahead. CGT co-leader Héctor Daer also mentioned that “we take note of the support” of the workers who have...

According to this article it says Milei's father is part owner in DOTA?

Argentine Security Minister tells CGT to “go to work”

Argentine authorities said 40% of the buses were running as the General Labor Confederation (CGT) staged its second strike against the administration of President Javier Milei to protest against his “chainsaw” economic measures that have dwindled people's incomes.

What an interesting read, Betsy! I learned a lot from that article.

I agree! I am a long time lurker but finally signed up today. I lived in BA over 20 years ago and haven't been back since but always wanted to come back to visit. My heart goes out to all those suffering. This website has the best information on what is happening in BA. Every day I read new articles and I hope to come back and visit again this year.

Yeah, get back down here soon! Where are you now?

Interesting. So it sounds like Milei did come from $$$. I mistakenly thought he came from more humble family but I guess if he is getting all of these dogs cloned for many years he must have some family $$.

Yes time got away from us. We are in Los Angeles.

Yes it was fascinating. It was also a good lesson in perseverance and hard work too.

Good to see lurkers convert into registered members. I know most sites are mostly lurkers that don't contribute. Hopefully, you share some of your experiences even if it was long ago.

Like many Argentines they are very private about their wealth. Many of my Argentine friends have a lot of money but you wouldn't know it other than where they live and their vacations abroad. His father sounds like he was a very hard worker if he was a former bus driver and then owned part of the company.
