      Nerds love second order derivative arguments.

      “It’s still increasing but the rate at which it’s increasing is going down”

      Or, as people who don’t have a lanyard cutting off oxygen to their brain correctly perceived it, shits still going up.

        Nixon made a similar argument once. It’s the 3rd derivative since inflation is the first derivative of a currency’s buying power.

        Just keep taking derivatives and eventually you’ll find one going in the direction you want.

            Hah, yeah.

            But on a real-world data set, even if the underlying phenomenon is e^x, you’ll keep amplifying sample noise until the derivatives are basically random. Assuming you even have enough data to keep taking derivatives.

      Capitalism is a religion, not an economic system.

      Is it any coincidence that the only somewhat tolerable places to live under capitalism are ones that don’t treat capitalism as gospel?

        It’s weird how the same scenario applies with religion. You can have a place where a majority of a population is religious or even the same religion but it turns out the best outcome is pairing that with secular government policy and implementation.

    Fuck the BBC so much. They did a story about protests against this dipshits economic “policy”. The presenter- not the analyst -The fucking presenter is like, “Why don’t these people at least give him a chance.” Idiot, if anyone knows about how austerity works, it’s fucking Argentina.

      Their (the BBC, NYT, etc etc ad infinitum) have done more to normalize dogshit policy and opinion under the guise of “we’re just asking questions” and “we need to wait and see” than all the blatant propaganda in the world.

      Not surprising but interesting to note- if a socialist even glances at the levers of power, there’s no “give them a chance,” it’s suddenly that everything bad that has ever happened, is happening, and will happen is their fault and they must be removed immediately, by force if necessary. But libertarians get this and are the don’t tread on me folks, god I hate them.

        To copy and paste

        RIGHT-WING LIBERTARIANISM is one of the most powerful ideological influences of United States of America…

        “One gratifying aspect of our rise to some prominence is that, for the first time in my memory, we, ‘our side,’ had captured a crucial word from the enemy . . . ‘Libertarians’ . . . had long been simply a polite word for left-wing anarchists, that is for anti-private property anarchists, either of the communist or syndicalist variety. But now we had taken it over…”

        Murray Rothbard

        Why is it a surprise that these liberals, who hate anything ‘authoritarian’, insist on ‘libertarians’ to get things right?

      There is a meme, going around some leftist argentinian circles, that compares Milei to Pol Pot.

      Of course is an exageration, but taking into account the level of deshumanization, hate, negacionism and religious delirium that this little libertarian gremblin is showing… we are getting close to the Pot levels.

    There is gold in the blue
    There is hope in the heart of men
    All the world’s on the way
    To a sunnier day
    'cause the road is open again
