 is that the reality or what the media is telling you?

Last I checked, people were heading into abject poverty in Argentina, digging for food in bins. And that was what, 3 months ago.

 no, it's not the media, I know for a fact

I'm from Paraguay and I live next to Argentina, last month I was in Posadas, and you can feel they are excited for how things are being handled now

of course there's a lot of poverty, can't fix years of government expansion in half a year without majority in Congress

and approval rates of Milei are increasing actually, currently +60%

 yeah, changes to reform and corruption will tend to get the country back on track. It's not new policy implementations, it's just cutting the fat really and Argentina can breathe. 

IMF got him by the chain and ball
