Unfortunately people here do not understand Argentinian reality.
This guy is the only candidate who actually has a very detailed plan on how he can end Argentina’s fiscal deficit, which has been prevalent for over 100 years and has caused 20 of our 22 economic crises.
While I do not agree with everything he says, it is fucking refreshing to have someone come and argue with facts and plans instead of “I’m gonna solve all these problems, I’m the best at this and that, vote for me” (like Mr. Orange if you know that I mean).
It really seems he will win. And I sincerely hope so, not because I hate science or people, but because dollarazing the economy might just be what can save Argentina once and for all. That’s actually his main proposal and not even mentioned in the article.
It may not work, but a Peronist government hasn’t work for almost a century.
It's funny reading this and then the next comment is about him calling climate change a hoax
Newton believed and experimented with alchemy. So even the brightest people can have odd opinions
Edit: the lack of self awareness is pretty sad. The point is that the very people that downvote this comment would have rejected classical physics because he also espoused beliefs that were at odds with what people believed
Yes, but Newton did not have access to heaps of information unquestionably debunking alchemy
"Science is wrong sometimes, making them and all of us look like stupid bitches!"
