Sorry to hear about your parents. Glad you are getting to spend time with them while you can.Parents are both deteriorating healthwise. That is the urgency to get back.
Agree it will take time but it just irks me to see Milei falling under the same trap as past Presidents. In the short-term he can just calm down his rhetoric. It was one of the reasons why I hated Trump. If he just kept his mouth shut and toned it down he would have a much easier time. I think Milei could follow the same advice. He is going to have to make peace with others (both here in Argentina and outside of Argentina).
The plan has to be more than just sticking it to the middle class. That isn't going to work. Sure prices had to come up but if they keep on that path it is going to be to his doom. People forget how poor Argentina is. Look at the statistics and you can see the majority of Argentineans make less than $500 USD per month. Dollarization was never going to happen. Many of us already knew that. But some people are just figuring this out.
He is doing a lot of things right.
People have to just trust the plan. It can't be easy fixing the country. Sometimes it feels like 2 steps forward and 1 step backwards. What he is trying to do has never been attempted in Argentina.
I told myself I would never vote for Trump and this year I found myself voting for him. Agree with you that Milei should calm down but that isn't in his nature. What keeps many people positive is just believing that the plan will work. I want to see how things are later next year. I am reserving any judgements until after next year's election.
