Javier Milei the first 50 days

17th February 2024 Tony Phillips 0

Javi showed his libertarian freedom to starve by not raising the minimum wage even in increasingly devalued pesos. “Why should I fix the price of labour?, he said. Javi is betting that this deep depression will finally conquer inflation over the dead bodies of the poor.

Milei la Topadora y la Huelga Nacional

23rd January 2024 Tony Phillips 0

Paro General: Las políticas ultraliberales de Milei están diseñadas para beneficiar a los buenos en la sociedad que él llama “la gente de bien”, pero el coste lo asumen otros grupos y esto ha sido aplastante para los pobres.

Milei the Bulldozer and a National Strike

23rd January 2024 Tony Phillips 0

The way Milei recognises these “better” conditions means that the costs of adjustment are being borne not by his famous (caste) but by the working classes in Argentina, especially those employees that are considered by Milei to be “collectivists” i.e. they think that they might have a better chance of being paid better with better conditions if they organize as a union

Argentina en las manos de Díos

2nd January 2024 Tony Phillips 1

Las elecciones presidenciales de 2023 demostraron que los argentinos están desesperadamente cansados de los fracasos económicos y la corrupción. Estaban dispuestos a darle una oportunidad a Javi (o a cualquiera nuevo). Aunque muchos ahora se arrepienten, la mayoría de los votantes todavía se resisten a admitir que al votar contra el peronismo pueden haber cometido un error muy grave.

Milei Doubles Down

31st December 2023 Tony Phillips 1

Listen to me but only to me says Javi! My Austrian religion is the one true religion, all other religions are evil. The devil is a socialist. The one true light is our God, the market. Greed is good. God loves a market, a market Nirvana. Nobody comes to Nirvana but through Me! Me! Me! Carajo!

Exigimos al congreso la derogación del DNU

Milei’s Last Supper Speech

21st December 2023 Tony Phillips 0

While still on the election trail Javi had been asked by a journalist how he could effect change, since as a President alone, with his tiny party, the LLA, which has only one state senator and very few deputies in the House of Representatives? How could he Javier Milei pass laws? His answer sounded somewhat dictatorial. I will rule by presidential decree!

Los perros (el perro duplicado cuatro veces) de Javi

Javi’s Ministry of Human Capital

16th December 2023 Tony Phillips 2

Javi is rarely explicit. He doesn’t seem to like Argentina very much having already bought his retirement flat in the US state of Florida. The US along with the apartheid State of Israel which Javi believes to be a natural allies of his Argentina. Javi has even been known to paraphrase Trump’s phrase “Shithole nations” but, unlike Trump, Javi was also referring to his home.

Milei y Bolsonaro 2045

8th December 2023 Tony Phillips 0

Prólogo: El 10 de diciembre de 2023 Bolsonaro ya estuvo de camino a la residencia de ancianos. Se había fugado de Brasil al pueblerino estado norteamericano de Florida, pero incluso enfrentando cargos se las arregló para llegar (con su hijo) a la fiesta de inauguración de Milei.

21st November 2023 Tony Phillips 0

On the 10th. of December way back in 2023 Bolsonaro was already part way to the retirement home. He had absconded from Brazil to the hick US state of Florida but even facing charges he still managed to make it (with his son) to Milei’s inauguration party.
