Argentine Unions Call Another General Strike for May 9th
  • There is no proof of that. However, 56% of people voted for him on the ballotage, so inevitably some of that 56% do belong to that unions.

    Still he blatantly lied on who would pay for the much expected crisis, so this strike is well justified.

    As a side note CGT, the workers confederacy calling for this strike, is historically peronist.

    Argentine austerity anger mounts, but govt says its working
  • Previous government ran the economy on the ground out of a lack of capacity and bad decisions. This one is doing it as part of its's plan.

    Theres is a soaring debt exacerbated by the previous-previous government (2015-2019), whose ministers are again on the current government. They are continuing their plan while also preparing Milei's own plan to dollarize.

    Previous government was idiotic but managed the pandemics rather well. This government is evil, and only finance sector driven.

    Argentinians stage nationwide strike against Javier Milei’s far-right agenda
  • Primarily he betrayed his voters by reinstating taxes that were previously removed with his vote in the parliament, and took other measures that put the weight of the economy on middle and lower classes, while before he insisted many times that he would not further burden those classes, but higher classes instead.

    He is trying to remove protectionist measures for land, water, fishing, mining industries.

    All of this with mega decret and multiple articles law that still is being discussed by legislators.

    He also formed his government with Mauricio Macri's officials which he widely criticized before for being a failure and ramping the country's debt by taking the historically biggest loan the IMF ever gave.

    Sometimes the simplest answer is the correct one. Sometimes you're just stupid.
  • You mark a point on the circumference and then make the wheel roll in the direction you want to measure while counting the times the mark passes the floor.

    The Holy Trinity of JavaScript
  • A few years back I came to the conclusion that the holy trinity in Christianity are three levels of abstraction: the son => God walks on earth and tangible, the father => God in heaven untangible but still reachable by speech, holy spirit => God in who knows where.

    Then I thought that as a way of imparting the thought that any level of abstraction of the universe would also be inhabitated by God, those which we can sense, and those where our senses can't reach. The idea that omniprescense is not only limited to our dimension.

    I'm not sure if that is the original meaning but is a way of seeing it that I can relate to, since I've always been akeen to a more abstract idea of God, and not so much to a figure that praises itself of thought, which is a human attribute.
