    Article starts by saying...:
    - ”Hundreds of thousands of students, teachers, and workers flooded the streets of Argentina in a historic display of unity...)

    I say...:
    Police said yesterday evening, that there were some 80,000 objectors on the streets...
    Science calculates this morning, that there were at least 800,000 objectors on them streets...
    Evidently..., one of the signs I saw in yesterdays demonstration was about 1,000,000% spot on...:

    As a scientist, I think it is terrible that Milei wants to cut university funding.

    Where would the world be without Argentina's contribution to science? For example, We wouldn't know that impotency drugs can help hamsters recover from jet lag or have learned about the brain by speaking backwards.

    Maybe he just wants to remove some gnocchi from the universities?
