    I’m not an economist so I don’t know the details but I know he froze pensions when the inflation was still high so pensioners in practice saw lower pensions. He also cut funding to food banks so people relying on them got hit. Inflation affects everyone in the country so I imagine when it went down salaries caught up with prices for a lot of people taking them above poverty levels. Donkey meat is only a sing of red meat prices going up which may just mean that a lot of meat is being exported which brings money to the country. I’m not saying that’s what happening, just that it’s possible to see lower pensions and donkey meat while people are being lifted out of poverty.

      I love how you just quickly glazed over the part about closing food banks.

      Nothing says helping the poor like taking away their only source of food!

        From the very begging I’m saying that Milei cut spending by sacrificing the poor and that his plan was short term sacrifice for long term stability. Did you miss that? Yes, he scarified the poor. I’m not glazing over this, I’m saying what he did.
