Sure. Here's how he has made it a practical possibility that Argentina might rise economically: https://tradingeconomics.com/argentina/inflation-rate-mom https://tradingeconomics.com/argentina/inflation-rate-mom And in case you were wondering: yes, he was inaugurated at the top of the inflation rate, when they had a hyperinflation brewing up. 5 months later, inflation is well under control. Austerity is certainly painful for the people who are affected (which is not even close to being all the people), but the culprit is not the one who is doing the austerity, but the ones who screwed up the economy in such a drastic way that it has to be done. Unfortunately, he has only 3 years to go. That might not be long enough for people to realize all the good he will have done by then.

So he’s improved macroeconomic indicators which are in no way a predictor of how things are for people in the streets using policies which have failed long-term in other countries to which they have been applied. Got it. The time he has left is not a problem though - if these policies and the chainsaw are indeed the panacea they purport to be, I’m sure people will elect Milei’s anointed successor by a landslide in the understanding that they’d continue with the same policies.

  > I’m sure people will elect Milei’s anointed successor by a landslide in the understanding that they’d continue with the same policies. Your abundance of faith in the people is uplifting, but I'm a bit more sceptical. I've seen various peoples around this planet do the same mistake: 1) things go bad, 2) people vote in those who can fix it, 3) things are fixed, 4) people vote the other guys again, 5) goto 1 Then again, it was (mostly) the same argentinian people who voted him in in the first place, so perhaps they can do it.

    I was being sarcastic :) in reality I think he’ll be voted out at the earliest opportunity if social protests don’t topple him before then (it happened before - remember De La Rúa?)
