If you want to know why a country like Argentina is going to elect as president the current minister of economy with an inflation rate of 150% and no gasoline to refuel in the whole country, you have to watch this documentary.

Summary for lazy people, if you pay the citizens for not working, you end up having a lot of slaves that will vote for you if or if and whatever you do, for these citizens is free money, what they do not understand is the consequences of this.

Any European should watch this video to understand that Argentina is our mirror and that is where Europe is going.

Venezuela < Argentina < Spain < Europe in general

 Venezuela is TOP resourceful nation #energy

 Watching this now , thanks man. 
 Democracy is for the people. But the people are retarded 
 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 
 IMO people is not retarded, it's just lazy and don't want to take responsability of their own lives... need someone who always takes care of them and to blame for their mistakes and own issues 
 No, they are retarded. 
 Reminds me of the bind that the Prince describes in Lampedusa’s Leopard, the veneer of progress in a democratic process. Class read btw 
 Coulndt agree more 
 So true. Explains every hell hole American blue city 🏙️ too! Bad incentives lead to bad outcomes. 
 🧐 🇪🇺 is going the same way 
 Milei ain’t giving free shit to people, he’s said he will stop that. 

Well that’s not gonna help the people who are reliant on government handouts, a number which keeps going up because the productive class has already emigrated. https://i.nostr.build/7jyV.jpg  
 As an Argentine, I will tell you that the chances are 50-50. The choice is surely going to be a difficult one. I will also tell you that #Milei is not the great solution to all our problems and that particularly beyond inflation there is no bad life here. That's pretty concrete in that great documentary. Greetings friend.  
 Another thing: everyone labels #Milei as pro-bitcoin. I don't know where that came from, but to my understanding he has only made a casual comment about #Bitcoin in an interview and has not said a word about #Bitcoin in his entire campaign. It's not Bukele. He is pro fiat (USD). 

Another thing that worries me even more is that his falsely named Liberal party is full of sympathizers and promoters of hatred, violence, lack of sensitivity to human rights and education, health and religion.

Why do you think he lost the first election otherwise? There are a lot of contrasts here that are good to analyze.  
 Thanks for the nuance. Always good to get boots-on-the-ground viewpoints. 
 Exchange Rates - Use Eth 😂

Interesting impressions 
 you probably haven’t watched till the end cuz in the very last minutes peter says exactly the opposite: those are very hark-working people. that’s not the point. at all. 
 As the greatest NPC, I can confirm that 
 They deserve what is going to happen to them. C’est la vie 
 It's a excercise in abstract power. Bitcoin is physical power. 
 It’s only possible as long as there is a spare wheel, the USD in this case.
It will not last for so long once the USD starts collapsing too; Bitcoin will be the safe haven then, and it could change things a bit IMO
