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 will, right after you answer how uncontrolled inflation helps poor people.
Why are the only two options uncontrolled inflation and libertarian austerity?
Nice straw man. I never made that claim. I simply asked you to explain why you think inflation is better for the poor than the current situation, which you have clearly expressed you do.
Because in the current situation, people are getting poorer and children are dying more.
So clearly it was better before Milei started his libertarian shit.
Less dead children equals better. I'm not sure why you're suggesting otherwise.
Milei's libertarianism, which is what I have been criticizing this whole time, is killing people.
I showed you evidence of that and you're just pretending I never did now, which is quite dishonest. Especially after you criticized me for not providing any.
Are you going to start discussing in good faith or should we just end this? You could start by acknowledging what I said about more children dying now than before when inflation was higher. Then you can justify that.
From the article you linked
Do you understand what a forecast is?
Your claim is unsubstantiated but plausible.
There is as yet no evidence of increased child mortality (yet) and seeking to paint those you disagree with as child killing monsters and ignoring the longer term benefits of a stronger economy, reduced poverty and by your own claims, reduced child mortality is naive at best.
Long term fixing the Argentinian economy would result in better quality of life and reduced child mortality.
Allowing high inflation to continue would prevent that progress and long term result in more dead children.
