      It won’t work for sure. That said, with the rich continually robbing people left and right by hording the last bits of wealth on this planet, desperate people do desperate things. For the time everyone’s mostly still sticking to the Democratic mode of trying to solve that issue, but I wouldn’t give it much longer before that option starts running out for some folks.

      Milei has a very, very steep hill to climb, a world economic system that’s less interested in helping him out, and a Congress that’s not exactly weighing in his favor. He is very much two or three steps away from civil unrest in his country. Lots of luck to him, maybe he’s thinking he’ll be able to fake till he makes it or something.
