Uh, oh, Enrique Massot,

Can this be happening?

Better move fast to quel any perception that Macri is slowing the downhill slide, and better quash the hopes of the voting populace, before it's too late!

“I am very sure the economy will grow...” Dujovne said.
If Dujovne says so it must be true, Kanye affirmed.
Indeed.

A hearty 'well done' and a jubilant cheer for the Argentine proletariat, from Comrade Enrique.

If you have been following MP in the last few months, you may have noticed that good news about Argentina is about something that is going to happen--in the future.

Never about something that happened or is happening. In fact, the present shows a dark picture--for the majority--friends and family members, wealthy estancieros and other large landowners, of course, are jumping in joy.

That's Macri's best quality: He keeps hope alive (don't forget hope is the last thing to die). In the beginning, things were going to be better “in the second semester.” Then it was the second year, and so on. Later on, the promise of “poverty zero” became “goal” to be realized “sometime in the future.”

“... good news about Argentina is about something that is going to happen--in the future. Never about something that happened or is happening.”

So this list of good things that have happened travelled back in time somehow?
