THE END OF SOCIALISM
In a shocking vote for change the people of Argentina have elected the political outsider, Javier Milei, as their next President.
Milei, with his coup sauvage hair, sideburn chops, and chainsaw wielding antics, has promised to slash government spending, dismantle the central bank, and end socialism in a country mired by decades of economic folly.
Mainstream media, loyal to their institutional masters, have done their best to paint Milei as a buffoon, even in the face of his convincing victory.
To get the real story, and a “boots-on-the-ground” perspective of life in Argentina, Brent Johnson and Jon Kutsmeda are joined by a special guest, the Bow Tied Mara.
President Milei won the hearts of the voters, but can he now win the cooperation of his political adversaries still in government?
Even if his foes become friends, the country will still need to feel more pain before meaningful change can happen.
Unfortunately, with inflation in the triple-digits, Milei will be in a race against the clock as patience is in short supply along with U.S. Dollars.
Can he restore the once great Argentina to its previous glory?
Find out from Brent, Jon, and the Bow Tied Mara, in a special “Black Friday” release of the Milkshakes Markets Madness Show.
