You must understand, any argument you make will be viewed through an emotional lens, Milei is very pro-Israel (strike #1), anti-big government (strike #2) and has been vilified in American media as “Trump For Argentina”(strike #3). All discussion here and really anywhere online will be viewed through orange tinted glasses, it doesn’t matter how many logical arguments you make, he’s evil bec they’ve been told he’s evil. There is nothing intelligent or rational you can say that overcomes that programming. It’s almost not worth engaging because you’ll go in circles and those who disagree with you won’t ever make any actual logical arguments, it will always be appeals to emotion.

I'm sure he'll be successful on lowering inflation for a while. I just think his way of stopping it is short-term and it won't be enough to pave the way for a prosperous Argentinean economy. To me, the private sector, the health of long running companies (and of course human lives) is a more logical argument than any loose analogy about being drunk or going on a diet that depict nothing on the actual real-life impact of any economic policy. I didn't even mention good or evil. I mentioned that messing with your domestic industry almost never fares well for your country. And, about Trump. They both have in common that they have special persionalities and both spend a lot of time on Twitter. But that's it. Regarding economic policies, Trump is a proteccionist and Milei is an anarchocapitalist.

  There's nothing magical behind "long running companies". I can name a few that are trash, and they only keep going because they have politicians in their pocket. If a company depends on the government creating hyperinflation or subsidizing it for its survival, that's not a good sign. In other words, if you are too big to fail, you are too big to exist.
