Argentina's President Javier Milei, a self-declared libertarian and "anarcho-capitalist", is promoting crypto scams and overseeing rapid deindustrialization. Manufacturing and construction are collapsing, while the financial sector, mining, and agriculture grow. Donald Trump and Elon Musk praise Milei, as the majority of Argentines live in poverty. The real economy is in crisis, but rich foreign investors rejoice as the stock market booms. Ben Norton explains how Argentina is being turned into a resource colony.

Keaton and Pasta have an in-depth discussion of what Trump and his band of merry tech billionaires may be up to—actually destroying Federal assistance programs—America's social safety net—behind the pretext of "waste" and other idiotic programs used by the "WOKE" Biden regime. (BTW, Biden was openly in favor of shrinking social security, Medicare, Medicaid, and other vital Federal programs, also under the guise of fighting inefficiency and waste). What NONE of these libertarian crazies and their "liberal" accomplices ever propose is a measure of realism and compassion in managing a naked capitalist system. Or designing assistance programs without the multitude of tricks that cripple them at the very start. Like capping the social security contributions at a ludicrously low-income level.

So Milei emulated a Trump Pump and Dump on steroids, and fleeced his own people?
The Argies voted in a conman and then they got conned.
Who woulda thunk it?
I cry for you Argentina.
Ben Norton for El Presidente!
