Simply bad monetary policy. Argentina has a long history of resorting to money printing for its budget deficit and every generation thinks they will get away with it.

The benefit of being a nurse is that it is a monopoly, and the hospital is also a monopoly, and neither the hospital nor the nurse pay the cost of that mishandling, but you the taxpayer do.

RH is 80% down from IPO Price one year ago. Anyway it had way too many people and itwas grossly inefficient. It should probably cut staff 50% or more imo.

If the diagnosis is that a lot of people are buying something at exorbitant prices, shouldn't the prescription be to build more of them to sell?

Would you ban the construction of a home unless the builder lives in the home? Why not? And why wouldnt that apply to the first person that buys the home from the builder that doesn't build in it? And the second person in that chain?

Not really true, it is actually a constant lesson that you need to fire more because the bias is always to do nothing.

Actually if you live in the bay area, you live in an oligarchy. A great part of the renters in the area cannot vote and thus are not represented in this matter. If foreigners could vote in San Francisco, the majority of which are renters, i

This axiomatic approach about the law has a clever solution: just make it legal for cars to disobey stop signs and then problem solved.

Venezuela also has currency controls, but Argentina is still different, because we have had more monetary systems and we also have a non-repressed black market economy+currency economy.

The Argentine peso is at 220~. Without snark, I think talking about argentinian peso is reserved only for argentinians. It is just impossible for non-argentinians to understand a multi-currency multi-denomination monetary economy.
