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.
Okay, you're clearly not here in good faith.
The article literally says it has increased. So yes there has been an increase. They just don't have newer figures because the government isn't collecting them any more. Why do you think that is?
More children are dying now than before. That's not a forecast, the article states that very clearly.
I understand that you really like libertarianism and that you don't want kids to die. Libertarianism is causing kids to die. That's just reality. You didn't even accept the realty- the reality all over the world- that increased poverty leads to increased death. Again, that's just simple reality. The more impoverished people there are, the more early deaths. Especially children.
I don't think there's any point in continuing when you're denying reality.
