No respectable newspaper would platform a foreign billionaire trying to meddle in an election. The fact that the owners pushed this through, overruling their own staff, should be a clear sign to everyone: billionaires buy up news organizations to influence the population and undermine democracy. Even if the individual journalists have the utmost integrity, they will just get strong armed by upper management. The same thing happened with Bezos and the Washington Post.

I was interested until I saw the author and it clicked. Must be a broken clock situation.

The reason people say these one or two users are trolling is not because of their pronouns. It's because they demand accommodations that go well beyond pronouns and most of their posts are playing the victim.

Very true. I do hope that the one or two trolls who instigated this post stop getting free rein to start drama. Pronouns should be respected, narcissism should not.

"Something must be done. Milei is doing something, therefore that must be done"

See how that is a fallacy?

I'm not sure what other options there were

Argentina is the victim of decades of capitalist exploitation. There is no quick fix (no matter what the Wolverine-wannabe would have you believe). Cutting spending is probably part of the solution, but the distribution is crucial. Milei is mostly targeting the poor and selling out to foreign investors. That makes the numbers look good, but only benefits the rich.

It's sad to see people fall for this obvious scam. He's using vague, unsubstantiated promises to legitimize a massive robbery of the working class. Poverty and unemployment are rapidly growing while the rich get richer. There's no economic justification for this, it's just grift.

But is it going to be quite alright and proper? 🧐

Michael kidnapped a pizza delivery boy because he didn't want to pay full prize. This fits right in.

Times always chooses the election winner as person of the year. This isn't some honorific, they've done it for decades.
