The "well-worn disaster" has the highest rate of English speakers, largest middle class, and largest industrial base of similar countries in Latin America. This will simply regress Argentina to the mean of the poor, deinstruialized, primary resource exporting countries of the rest of Latam.

The mean in South America is dialing the same crap policies to 11. With 4 in 10 Argentines in poverty and 140% inflation, you are making an incredibly poor case for...I don't know, defending the status quo? Advocating for ratcheting up the previous policies? It sounds clinically insane either way.

Useless statistics displayed out of pure ignorance because you, like most people here, don't live there, haven't lived there and have no knowledge of the history or political context. I wish you could do even a hint of research to spew this pathetic apologia.

  I live here and I've traveled to all over Latin America. I have a _much_ better clue of what I'm talking about. There is hardly a middle class in Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia. The mean standard of living in Chile is similar but with no less middle class, more rich, and more poor. Now the middle class in this country will get to see to what extend their sustenance was being managed through wealth transfers.

    There's practically no middle class. You're probably very privileged and confusing your own comfortable privilege with the lives of actual workers. 140% inflation, currency controls, 16 years of K government destroying institutions and you want to come at me with the "lots of English speakers", now things are gonna be worse. Mate, people emigrate from Argentina to the rest of LATAM, not viceversa (unless you earn in USD). The fact that you're pretending people live better here and you're just trying to make it about class shows how little perspective you have. Speaking for "the People" right?

      Net migration rate into Argentina is _positive_. If you really think there is no middle class in Argentina, seriously, you need to travel around more, what can I say.
