Decline is a choice. That’s true in Argentina as well as in America!

“Apparently it took Milei just 9 and a half weeks to balance a budget that was projected at 5% of GDP under the previous government. In US terms, he turned a 1.2 trillion dollar annual deficit into a 400 billion surplus. In 9 and a half weeks.”

1. It’s zerohedge (lol)
2. He defaulted on most of the debt, they’re starting the counter after that and then calling it a surplus
3. Argentinas poverty rate is skyrocketing (57%) - this headline could also read “budget balanced after half of population starves”

You damn sure decline is a choice. For example Milei decided to decline everyone's wages, pensions and savings through hyperinflation and austerity.

It's not a question of whether it can be done, it's a question of how (in)human you have to be to decide to do it anyways despite the suffering it causes.
