@1 por que?

All it says if they have hired two professionals to work int he technology divison. There is no evidence within the article to suggest the compnay is making money or being more succesful. All is shows is they are spending money not making any money.

Where is the $35 billion coming from ? No signs of major investors.
Meanwhile LNG shipments have to be paid for in dollars ,cash up front......
The nationalisation of YPF has damaged foreign investment in Argentina.

These two chaps are really high quality technocrats, so they will not be popular with Kretina who has a special distaste for anyone more intelligent than she is. This is a real problem as almost everybody is smarter than her!!!

@5 that is evident from the huge number of Argentines who understand that high inflation is bad and especialy when combined with low growth. Maybe repalcing those in the national stats office with economists would be a good start so we can get some real numbers.

You do not need actual economists. Replacing the present K people in the stats office with 2 donkeys and a corn cob would probably be more productive.

“Bianchi ... 2007 ... he left to join presidential hopeful Roberto Lavagana’s team as the main energy advisor.”
