    Can someone explain me this? In Argentina, the majority of the workers are employed by government (crazy rate of employment by a government, I don’t think they actually need all those people), but then the majority of the voters elect someone that plans to cut spending a lot, meaning most of those workers that voted him will be laid off.

      Can we theorize a situation where an average Argentinian voter consciously chooses a short term crisis with the prospect of normalization over a lifetime stagnation and decay? Argentina’s economy was shit for a long time, and maybe people’s intent is to wreck things for a change?

        Do you have any evidence that a significant number of voters have ever voted for short-term harm to enable some hypothetical future benefit?

      Make Argentina Great Again.

      Sad to see people fall for the same bullshit over and over.
