  So the solution is to throw it away? This seems shortsighted at best and more like shooting your own feet… and hands

    I don’t agree. I told this to my dad who supports him. They’re throwing the baby with the bathwater. I doubt they’ll let milei do half of what he wants to do.

      Ok I did hear that congress is divided so it might be just posturing, what about the dollarization of the economy? Kinda like trumps wall? Is the proposal of a half dollar “parity” still on the table? That one is really nuts, the lack of decent options and the amount of people that will vote for the worst mentally ill clowns is astounding, all over the western world we’re seeing this shit increasing. Best of luck.

        Dollarization has been done before under Menem where essentially the peso was backed by the US dollar. I don’t know exactly how milei plans to do it or how much power he will have to do it. My guess will be that his presidency will be similar to Trumps. He will be dealing with a lot of protests and pushback from the bureaucracies while at the same time becoming more moderate with his proposals. He is already starting to walk back on some things he said he will do.
