Whoops! Guess that wasn't mentioned on the campaign trail...

[–] Zehzin@lemmy.world 25 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Is it better or worse if I tell you it was?

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 months ago

I would still not be surprised.

It is not how it works, I dont think all US citizen is a supremacist scum, Trump was still elected tho.

It’s literally what he campaigned on. He was elected for this.

Leopard, meet face.

Also it's nice to know that Argentina is in the top 10 producers of Lithium, so there's that.

Wonder if any of the protesters voted for Milei 🤔

How did you arrive at that highly improbable estimate?

There's a Face-Eating Leopard meme for a reason.

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure that the ones who care enough about public policy and are against massive privatization enough to take to the streets in protest skew heavily towards NOT voting for a clown who puts on a crappy superhero costume and calls himself Captain Ancap..

From a sample set of 18 Argentinian friends who voted for Milei

So you have friends who are colossal idiots. Doesn't change the fact that it's highly unlikely that people who are against unchecked privatization would vote for a clown who calls himself Captain Ancap..

Yep, better to call them soccer acquaintances

Fair. The Beautiful Game DOES cause us to associate with some people we'd never be around otherwise, which can both be great and awful 😁

Which club(s) do you support? I'm a huge Liverpool fan myself

It's very nice rent controls were removed because for the las 4 years we haven't had the chance to rent any place at all with the controls, and the places that were renting did so by air BNB in usd. Now more and more units are opening up for rent, it's a matter of time before prices start shifting to normal values! Good one!
