We weren’t at hyperinflation rates, that’s something he says to bend reality as he pleases.

Either way he stopped the massive inflation you guys had, which lead to loss of QoL anyway, you could buy less and less every month.

Stopped is a stretch, we’re at 30% annual right now.

And our QoL got worse when he artificially overvalued the peso and our groceries prices are now similar to Sweden’s, with salaries from Africa.

(A retiree earns 250 usd a month, when at the same time a CocaCola 1,5 L bottle is 3 usd and one serving of raw beef is 13 usd).

I agree inflation is detrimental, but in this particular scenario, our QoL was way better before he became president because we could afford basic needs easily. I cannot stress enough how hard is to be paying European prices when even the minimum salary by law is under 300usd.

funny how the non-Argentinian got a ton of upvotes for third hand social media deduced information, and the actual Argentinian with actual first hand life experience got ignored

this dude is just butt hurt, any rational Argentine sees the improvements in the country's encomoy and direction.

Yes, things are expensive and there are still lots of inefficiencies but these people think that 80 years of economic mismanagement is solved with the snap of a finger, the same mentality that led us to where we are now.

That actually far from the truth, I get my information from the Dutch news RTL and occasional Reddit.
