I think so far this is what people wanted: end the status quo and apply shock therapy.

His supporters hope that in the long run the economy will become independent and the country would come out of the never ending crisis. My guess is that everything will simply end up owned by private interests and while (best case scenario) the economy will do better, people will suffer even more.

He did say he would apply shock therapy to the economy. He never mentioned if the economy would come out alive.

This is just the price the poor are going to have to pay while the rich get to loot the country.

Who could've guessed that a rightwing government wouldn't solve their issues (which were originally caused by rightwing policies)?

If this keeps up I'll have to stop shitting myself.

Who would've known, the man that made it so people can get their salary in jugs of milk is a complete idiot.

It's beginning to look like Venezuela but with libertarians. It's quicker than I thought.

Look, theres a lot of reasons this guy sucks.

Increasing the costs of two things that are causing the most damange to our planet is not a reason to criticize him tho.

hopefully circumstances worsen quickly enough that it'll be noticable for everybody so that the general public can clearly identify it as a direct consequence of this maniac being elected. If its deteriorating too slowly people might just not notice it as much and might go along with all the coming explanations ( probably immigrants, leftists, blahblah). If there's a quick look into the abyss people might wake up and get into action.

Totally out of context title

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Mr. Galli has been trying to cut back without making life worse for his two daughters, who are 6 years and 18 months old, including switching to a cheaper brand of diapers and racing to spend his Argentine pesos before their value disintegrates even further.

“I prefer to tell you the uncomfortable truth rather than a comfortable lie,” he said in his inaugural address, adding this past week that he wanted to end the country’s “model of decline.”

The economic turmoil paved the way to the presidency for Mr. Milei, a political outsider who had spent years as an economist and television pundit railing against what he called corrupt politicians who destroyed the economy, often for personal gain.

The previous leftist government had used complicated currency controls, consumer subsidies and other measures to inflate the peso’s official value and keep several key prices artificially low, including for gas, transportation and electricity.

With the chronic high inflation, labor unions often negotiate large raises to try to keep up, yet those wage increases are quickly eaten up by sharp price hikes.

“I always say that we are at university, and every day we sit for a difficult exam, every five minutes,” said Roberto Nicolás Ormeño, an owner of El Gauchito, a small empanada shop in downtown Buenos Aires.

The original article contains 1,384 words, the summary contains 216 words. Saved 84%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Makes sense, if stuff is subsidized, the government has to pay for it. If the government doesn't have money to pay for it, they'll just print it out of thin air, devaluing the currency (and thus taxing the working class).

There's gonna be a lot of pain for Argentinians in the months and years to come, hopefully it'll all be worth it...

Picture me surprised, he looked like a calm and rationale person

I knew he was going to hurt Argentina badly, but I didn’t expect him to be this quick

I’m so glad Argentina pulled out from BRICS+, it would have been a drain on it

Well, I suppose it is technically a change

He has been in office for 2 weeks I can't imagine this is a result of his policies yet.
