Utopia Talk / Politics / Milei and Argentina

Nimatzo iChihuaha	Sat Feb 15 04:36:55 Inflation from 25% to 3% Poverty down 4% in 6 months Central bank interest lowered for the first time in 6 month from 40 to 35 Foreign investments or the first time in decades, estimated 15 billion in 2025. Government bonds doubled in value Credit rating upgraded Mileis approval ratings makes him the third most popular leader globally. 65% approve vs 30% disapprove. Suck it haters. Also socialism is cancer.
LazyCommunist Member	Sat Feb 15 05:19:00 "in 6 months" "first time in 6 month" Is that the wording for still worse than when he took office? Because that was 14 months ago.
murder Member	Sat Feb 15 05:51:57 It's almost as if he knew you were starting a thread praising his performance. ------------------------ Javier Milei-endorsed Libra token crashes after $107M insider rug pull http://www...s-after-107m-insider-rug-pull/
Nimatzo iChihuaha	Sat Feb 15 05:52:39 It’s the wording for things that are transient.
www.yeswecansong.com Member	Sun Feb 16 12:10:34 LOL what an idiot http://dec...-milei-launch-solana-meme-coin Argentina’s President Javier Milei Launches Solana Meme Coin—LIBRA Crashes 89% A Solana meme coin shared by Argentina's President Javier Milei skyrocketed Friday, then collapsed. LATEST (Feb. 15 9:20am ET): President Milei deleted the original X post promoting the meme coin late Friday night, claiming in a new post that he wasn't aware of the details behind the project before sharing it to his 3.8 million followers. "A few hours ago I posted a tweet, as I have countless times before, supporting an alleged private venture with which I obviously have no connection," he wrote in a post. "I wasn’t informed of the project’s details, and after learning about them I decided not to continue promoting it (that’s why I deleted the tweet)." To the filthy rats of the political caste who want to take advantage of this situation to do harm," Milei continued, "I want to say that every day they confirm just how despicable politicians are, and it only strengthens our resolve to kick their asses." LIBRA continued to plunge following the move, and now sits at a market cap of just $167 million—a 96% plunge from the peak.
murder Member	Sun Feb 16 23:35:16 You weren't expecting him to take responsibility, were you?
Nimatzo iChihuaha	Mon Feb 17 03:20:09 It was reckless of him to retweet a meme coin launch, no doubt. But unless he actually has ties to the project, you are making a mountain out of a mole hill. We have to put that reckless retweet next to saving Argentina from the socialist cancer (TBD). I have noted the retweet. Fair is fair.
Nimatzo iChihuaha	Mon Feb 17 03:23:41 And I mean at the end of the day, if Milei fails he will just join AAAAAALLLL the socialist politicians who came before him and destroyed Argentina. Did you people give a shit about about them? Of course not. You peddlers of empty slogans and vacuous virtue signaling.
murder Member	Mon Feb 17 07:09:46 "It was reckless of him to retweet a meme coin launch, no doubt. But unless he actually has ties to the project, you are making a mountain out of a mole hill." I'm not making anything out of it. I just thought it was hilarious that the day you start a thread praising his performance, he goes and does something that stupid. :o)
Nimatzo iChihuaha	Mon Feb 17 07:14:04 That is literally what I responded to, whether you appreciate it or not. This is the third thread or follow up I make of Milei. If only because so many either wished him to fail or told us he was doomed to fail. So far he has been winning.
Dukhat Member	Mon Feb 17 12:48:55 Yes, evidence-based policy works.
murder Member	Mon Feb 17 18:51:23 I'll have to take the word of whoever compiled those stats for now, but I have a hard time believing that Argentina can cut government spending, devalue their currency, and reduce poverty at the same time.
Dukhat Member	Tue Feb 18 09:07:27 Lol this memecoin scandal might take him down. What a retard.
murder Member	Tue Feb 18 15:43:03 I seriously doubt that.
murder Member	Tue Feb 18 15:44:02 Unless he was actually involved, which I doubt. -
www.yeswecansong.com Member	Thu Feb 20 12:36:33 LOL http://research.nansen.ai/articles/libra-the-aftermath LIBRA was minted on February 14, 2025, at 21:38 UTC. At 22:01 UTC, Milei tweeted about it, sparking market interest, with snipers joining in simultaneously. By 22:44 UTC, the token’s price surged to a peak of $4.55, marking a dramatic rise within an hour of its creation, only to immediately fall. LIBRA’s unraveling truly began after the token was “rugged,” with Hayden Davis later dismissing it as just a meme coin in stark contrast to its initial framing as a tool for Argentina’s economy. Meanwhile, Milei quietly deleted his endorsement tweet as backlash mounted (only long after the price had already plummeted 80% from its peak), later stating that he was not familiar with the details of the project. Adding to the controversy, Davis told Coffeezilla that Milei had no financial stake in $LIBRA, but the damage was done by then. With the token already collapsed and Milei’s backing erased, holders were left questioning if this was ever more than a speculative insider play.
murder Member	Thu Feb 20 22:52:57 Milei was in the US handing a chainsaw to Elon Musk at CPAC tonight ... and probably getting tips on pumping meme coins.
Paramount Member	Sun Feb 23 01:37:55 Insane stuff. They are criminals. The people of Argentina should hang Milei from a tree. http://youtu.be/i3qgYZMYkj0
murder Member	Sun Feb 23 07:22:21 It should surprise no one that people on the right support and engage in get rich quick schemes and outright scams. Getting rich makes you a winner in their eyes, and they don't really care how you or they get rich. Money is money. Money is power. Power is power. -
williamthebastard Member	Sun Feb 23 07:27:13 This thread would make a normal persons cheeks burn with shame. But not Alpha Boi
murder Member	Sun Feb 23 08:03:04 This thread had nothing to do with the meme coin scam. That was just a coincidence. This was originally about Milei's performance in office so far. A case can be made that he's doing well, though I am personally skeptical. -
williamthebastard Member	Sun Feb 23 08:08:45 He's a complete carbon copy of Trump. He's also known for being a misogynist, which seals the deal for Alpha Boi "his embrace of conspiracy theories,[244] including the Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory.[245] He has also called the idea of climate change as an anthropogenic phenomenon "a socialist lie" and said that concerns about it are nothing more than "deceptions promoted by the neo-Marxists",[246][234] as are those related to the attempts to overturn the 2020 United States presidential election.[247] Echoing Donald Trump, he also claimed electoral fraud ahead of the 2023 presidential runoff.[248][249] Like other right-wing populists, his rhetoric focuses on opposing what he calls "the political caste".[250] Milei's party was criticized for including among his candidates alleged neo-Nazis and apologists for the National Reorganization Process.[74] During his political career, Milei has also been involved in several investigations and has been accused of having a violent attitude toward journalists and critics, as well as of misogynistic behavior, including toward women in journalism.[39] "
williamthebastard Member	Sun Feb 23 08:09:48 "According to a February 2024 study by the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina, the poverty rate in January 2024 climbed to 57%, partly attributed to Milei's relaxing of controls on the exchange rate of Argentina's currency as it decreased the reported purchasing power of Argentinians.["
Rugian Member	Sun Feb 23 08:17:32 "04 January 2025 Argentina’s poverty rate accelerated to a peak of 52.9 percent in the first half of 2024, the highest level in almost two decades, but at least two reports say the situation has since improved. With inflation tumbling from a peak of a monthly 25.5 percent and wages recovering some of the lost ground, the number of poor people had been reduced to as low as 36.8 percent by the end of the second half of last year, according to some private estimates." http://www...y-rate-has-fallen-to-368.phtml
williamthebastard Member	Sun Feb 23 08:22:36 "according to some private estimates." Lol... anonymous private estimates means the 1% making a killing from starving half the country ‘Everything is so bad’: http://www...javier-milei-chainsaw-measures
Rugian Member	Sun Feb 23 08:24:25 If you're going to conflate "private" with "evil," then that says more than enough about your incapacity for rational analysis.
Rugian Member	Sun Feb 23 08:25:19 I do appreciate you selectively reporting the time period where poverty was temporarily at its highest though. The classic move of an intellectually dishonest person.
williamthebastard Member	Sun Feb 23 08:25:55 unknown private sources are a pathetic source, you dumbass trumper who constantly posts shit you dont even believe yourself
Rugian Member	Sun Feb 23 08:28:07 If you bothered to read the article you would have seen the sources were listed. Dumb cunt.
williamthebastard Member	Sun Feb 23 08:31:46 Youre never worth reading or talking to, habitual liar, but from your own article ""The current panorama shows an aggravation of the situation in this sense - multidimensional poverty (measured as income plus one lack) increased inter-annually from 39.8 to 41.6 percent and within that figure structural poverty (three wants or more) also rose from 22.4 to 23.9 percent," "
williamthebastard Member	Sun Feb 23 08:33:42 I do appreciate you selectively reporting the time period where poverty was temporarily at its highest though. The classic move of an intellectually dishonest person.
Nimatzo iChihuaha	Sun Feb 23 09:20:41 murder Any realistic scenario with the shape Argentina was in would result in a temporary rise in poverty. If you have to make massive cuts to state spending will inevitably result in increased poverty. What is inportant to keep track of going forward is that the positive trends with poverty and unemployment continue. So far everything has unfolded as expected. Most importantly some negative trends have been broken, namely inflation, foreign investment and overall health of state finances. Foreign investment will be very important to reduce poverty and unemployment.
Paramount Member	Sun Feb 23 11:36:02 ”A case can be made that he's doing well, though I am personally skeptical.” It’s only their financial sector that is doing well. Everything else is bad. http://youtu.be/i3qgYZMYkj0
williamthebastard Member	Sun Feb 23 11:43:21 Hey, as long as Wall Street is doing well, who cares if the rest of the population is eating road kill, huh? People arent really people, theyre just numbers
Nimatzo iChihuaha	Sun Feb 23 12:39:37 “ It’s only their financial sector that is doing well. Everything else is bad.” lol :-)
