Are you honestly suggesting that Milei's solution to that is the only possible solution? Libertarian austerity or nothing?
You honestly believe high inflation is better for poor people?
I honestly believe poverty has risen from just above 40% to around 60% since Milei started his austerity measures.
People are dying.
53% is not "around 60". Moreover,
Apparently even some of those in poverty agree with his reforms.
I think people who only started paying attention to Argentina since he got elected should review the past few decades of history.
Im also not saying he's great but he is at least making some needed reform. We'll see if it continues. He definitely has an attitude and zeal that could push it too far but at this point it has helped.

If it's dropped down to 53%? Great. Children are still fucking dying.
And no, he's not great, he's a libertarian who doesn't give a shit about people suffering. Because he's a libertarian.
Repeated your unsourced claim that people are dying does not make it true, and nice dodging the question.
Of course people are dying when 60% of the people are in poverty. Do you not understand what poverty is? It literally kills people.
But if you want a source, here you go: https://www.batimes.com.ar/news/economy/life-expectancy-and-child-mortality-how-it-impacts-rising-poverty.phtml
Now please do justify the child mortality that libertarianism is causing.
I mean, that is how the libertarians argue since time immemorial, isn't it? "Cut the welfare state or the EcOnOMy never improves"
