Argentina’s austerity measures spark debate
Among its measures was a legal change that allowed the sport clubs to convert to public limited companies, with private investors and the ability to list shares on the stock market.
In other words, the move paved the way for the clubs — and popular football groups, in particular — to shift from a nonprofit model to a profit-driven structure, if they chose to do so.
But the pushback was swift. Big-name clubs like Boca Juniors and its rival River Plate released statements, pledging to remain nonprofits despite the decree.
Still, the leaders of Argentina’s sport clubs warn that the austerity measures could have as devastating an impact on their survival as the push for privatisation.
Under President Milei, the worst economic crisis in decades puts Argentine ingenuity to the test
“I haven’t had a job for a year, it’s now my sole income,” said Alejandra, who declined to give her last name for fear of reprisals from neighbors. Every four or five patrons, she puts on gloves and empties her bucket into the trash.
Milei Scrapped price controls how is that good?
Milei scrapped hundreds of price controls. He slashed subsidies for electricity, fuel and transportation, causing prices to skyrocket in a country that already had one of the world’s highest inflation rates.
You'd pick Maduro over Milei???
Obviously when you switch from a massive socialistic government to a limited government, you're going to have lots of initial pain.
I'm confused by your post. This isn't rocket science for any advocate of free markets.
Maduro is a borderline communist. You know that's bad ... right? Last time I checked Venezuela ranks as the second least free country next to North Korea.
The only question I have about Milei is whether he's really going to shrink government and it looks like so far he is.
I can't answer for him, but you need to consider that we've changed so much, that markets just aren't going to be free anymore.
There is a tiny group that has all the money. It's not freedom. So, the laissez-faire, it played out. It's over. Without something to protect
the public's interest, the public stake, the assets of the people, the nation, then it's just feeding time for the oligarchs unless they are held off.

Remember Boris Johnson? he lied that he was a populist. He just used populism to gain the advantage this is what the Globalists wanted.
Also there was a picture of Boris Johnson with a 2030 Agenda Pin on his clothing not so long ago.
If that's the case why do you even post on a free market forum if you believe there's no such thing as free markets?
100% avoid this guy

Chavez and Maduro messed up Venezuela, and Venezuela under them has been our enemy, doing things like sending their violent prisoners to enter the US as part of the illegal invasion.
I wish we would not meddle at all, but I'm not overly concerned about Trump's actions.

If the majority supported Chavez they have come to bitterly regret that idiocy.
And both Chavez and Maduro have been stealing elections for many years now.

It seems some of them would pick Maduro over any other option, or maybe not if Lenin was on the ballot too.

Are either Pro Washington or Pro NATO/EU.

Venezuela's economy has been crappy since the end of the Chavez regime, way before US sanctions.
You're ignoring the very real, terrible results of socialism and focusing on vague notions of "globalism".
She seems pretty bad but she can't possibly be worse than Maduro.María corina machado is a WEF advocate/Globalist "RightWinger"
At least she favors privatizing the oil business. Or are you against that too? After all it's the "people's oil", right?
Oh, so now you want to compare Ron's historical free market with what we have now? I guess then Ron never had a reason to advocate for change. I'll go throw my copies of End the Fed and the Revolution in the trash, since it's all good now.
Then you can ponder the irony of supporting regime change via sanctions and covert action in other countries, another beautiful mark of our present country, and ignore Ron's staunch opposition to any of that.

By taking the Oil America just like how American forces are in Syria "Protecting Oil Fields" to steal it through Iraq.At least she favors privatizing the oil business
By the way.
Ron Paul has always been a advocate agaisnt Coups, Regime Change, Color Revolutions.
The US govt wants the Oil for themselves because they dont want Russia nor China, Iran/India to have the Oil.Or are you against that too? After all it's the "people's oil", right?
Which i will add it is the biggest supply of Oil Reserves in Latin America next to Arabia, Russia.
Someone wants the Oil Resources in Venezuela..
