Lol. I guess he’s happy tonight.

How do the poor and working class like >100% official inflation? Should price controls remain in place? They’re well established to be poor policy choices. Reversing the policies that led to Argentina’s disastrous condition was always going to lead to short term pain. You seem awfully invested in what is maybe the most consistently shitty government and their policies remaining in power. All while sharing tweets from an aggrieved Argentine expat living in Miami. It will be an interesting experiment to witness, but no more than their almost a century of consistent decline.

Several people need to be fired, including Austin.

I need to know, what is the surly standard for announcing your respiratory illness and staying home at all costs?

Like even the sniffles? I was meaning more like work commitments, but whatever. That’s incorrect. Nope.

The only reason I could think to test now would be to get out of doing something.

The real stuff we’ll never see. This stuff disappeared.

Which God given rights are your referencing?

There’s a limit to how many people you can assimilate into a country/culture at any one time without significant societal disruption. That’s without considering the financial issues of taking in tens of millions more of takers from the welfare system.

They’re going to come too, and it will be great! The fun part is when this is all part of the federal bailout of California.

This isn’t pre-income tax, pre-welfare state like during Ellis Island’s heyday. Because there’s laws involved with entering any country. Also, the levels of illegal immigration currently happening are straining finances and social services of multiple parts of the country. But besides that, great idea. I’m curious how all the shitheads will be vetted. Also, what’s the percentage breakdown of male vs female etc? In Europe it’s overwhelmingly young males. Is that the best makeup for a society taking all these people in? As far as the tax base goes, low educated/skilled illegal immigrants are a net negative fiscally. https://www.budget.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/rector_testimony_913.pdf

He thinks franchise values are topping out.

Not quite flight disrupting but funny nonetheless

Is Adams a useful idiot in this made up crisis?

Laughing at this is a bit of a sign of our American privilege. When inflation is as high as they have you might want to have your pay set in a certain amount of goods. Their “actual money” is running at an inflation rate of 160% so stanning for the Argentine peso is weird. And that’s the “official” rate. Here from an article I saw a while back. "Last week I bought two kilos of potatoes for 800 pesos and this week it cost almost 1,200 pesos. I don't know if next week we'll be able to afford to buy the same groceries." We have no frame of reference for this state of day to day life. https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/argentina-inflation-tops-160-spotlighting-challenge-milei-2023-12-13/ This is why you try to avoid such a terrible economic situation/inflation. People will accept anything as an alternative. Hello, Weimar edit- lol the author of that tweet is an Argentine immigrant that moved to Miami. He’s talking shit from a distance after he bolted.

Can you elaborate here? Why would they be running this and how is that shown by what you’re observing?

This was a badass little concert. Great vibe between Scarface and the band.

Fuck no. Crypto is a fucking stupid ponzi. But seriously, look at how ridiculous this airport sign is.

Cartels now make a lot of money bringing those people through. That will be tough to stop, but doing nothing and screaming “racism” at people becomes less viable as time passes.

Yep, it’s pathetic.

I grew up by the border. Maybe it was happening, but there wasn’t news coverage of thousands of Haitians or Venezuelans under the Del Rio bridge when I was little? Extremely doubtful. This is different.

What’s funny about that is then they blame capitalism when the government and politicians picking winners and losers isn’t capitalism.

Txputt basically was.
