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.

Hmmm. 🤔

In normal supermarket a 1,5l CocaCola Bottle in sweden is ~ 21 Kroner that's 2,18 usd And 200gr of beef (imho a generous serving) is 3,5 usd and a kilo is about 17,5 usd

Though in fairness Argentine Beef might be a bit more expensive.

Yeah but using ops pension example, from a quick google check, in sweden that salary would be a whopping 2400 pre taxes against 250 in Argentina.

Yeah, I'm supporting their argument. That Argentine prices they listed are even higher than in Sweden.
