    I am sorry for the poor but until Argentina has an effective Economic Policy things are only going to get worse. Does not help that Lorenzino keeps shooting his mouth off about the court case. The poor gets poorer unfortunetly, I forsee riots shortly.

    You should see it for yourself. In some cases there are 4-7 children, siblings and cousins crammed into one house, usually their grandparent's, and they suffer ordeals that most people can't fathom. Many of these families don't receive anything from the government. Remember that children don't vote.

    Most of the people that do receive welfare are able bodied fanatics that either use the money to drink to excess or become morbidly obese. They might occupy the same neighborhood as the children mentioned above, but their violence adds hardship on top of hardship.

    As I understand it,millions going in subsidies to the idiotic inefficient airline,sell it to the people who know what they are doing i.e. L.A.N Argentina,100 million per year saved there,plus what they get for it.
    Then there is the fuel subsidies,do they do the slum kids any good? I doubt it,and the price cap acts as a disincentive for further exploration.
    there a thousand further examples Argentines please list them,Oh for some uncorrupted social democrats who really care about the people and understand how a market and democracy works.
    The good people of Argentina could then look forward to bright future that their country,s potential can offer them.

    AA don't own any modern airplanes and what they have little or no value.

    And LAN are not that stupid not to see that once they get AA or whatever it would be called operating properly TMBOA would steal it back.

    Civil war is coming, next year or the year after. Desperate people do desperate things because they have nothing to loose but their desperate lives.

    It's the fault of the Falklanders and the UK- ask CFK- she'll dream something up to deter her population from asserting their rights.

    And the UN; blind as well as gutless. UNICEF, you self-aggrandising lot you...

    Is this how the “inclusion” economics is supposed to be working?

    @4 My guess is 4 years from now. In the last global turndown, it took a decade from crashpoint for things to get REALLY weird in hyperinflation Germany.

    But I don't hear of many hyperinflation (defined as 25% or more for three or more years) countries that don't end w security issues.

    The last global downturn ww2 the North American co.tinent was the safest place to be in the world. The Great Depression had actually ended years prior for the U.S., just like we're clear of the economic shockwave today.

    Safe is one easy way to describe it, we were PROGRESSING in human rights, prosperity, and tech just because our states and countries get along!

    I also understand they give kids detention if they get their math and history right.
