To answer your question plainly, the living conditions are bad. Everything is expensive and the wages are not keeping up. I run out of money on the 21th day of each month or so, and have to use my credit card for the remaining 9. I haven't eaten cow meat in a while because it's too expensive.. etc. […] Now, according to the people that defend Milei, the growth WILL come. The people that are skeptical about Milei think otherwise. Perhaps an adjustment was needed. But how much activity are you willing to sacrifice for it?

10: In my report card last October, I said that Milei had reduced Argentine monthly inflation from 25% to 4%, but there was still a long way to go. The latest news is that it’s dropped further to 2.2%. And poverty, which went up during the “shock therapy”, is now lower than when Milei took office.
