New book for Milei to plagiarize just dropped

This is probably the most the US media has ever cared about a midterm election in South America, all thanks to doing a massive bailout in the middle of a government shutdown.

The US Treasury giving bailouts to Argentina:

The gringos have discovered Rebord

Reasons why Trump is posting videos of himself dumping poop on people: 1) He's full of shit 2) He's too scared to post a video of himself dumping the Epstein files

People are dunking on this but a subte line that followed the route of San Pedrito - Nazca - Mosconi - Olazabal would be effective since it would tie together a lot of other subte and train lines.

El dólar fue y será una porquería, ya lo sé, A mil quinientos diez, Y a dos mil también.

Tbf ordinal numbers in Spanish are a nightmare. Like in this case, 24th is "vigésimo cuarto", but if Spanish followed the English system it would just be "veinte cuarto".

Never thought I'd say this but I'm beginning to appreciate some of the benefits of a two party system. If the republicans got 40% in a midterm it would be a crushing defeat, but Milei gets 40% in a midterm and it's a virtual blank check.

I think Dunkin donuts should open a franchise in Argentina so all the libertarian kids can go spend their mom's $600 a month paycheck there

This is the perfect opportunity to engage in some lexical nerdage over Buenos Aires's giant flower sculpture. I don't think there's anyone who regularly uses its full name "floralis genérica", some people might call it "la floralis" while I just call it "la flor gigante".

The 2003 Iraq War but instead of just being dumb the president also has dementia

La peltola no se mancha

The supermarket at the DOT shopping mall has been shut down. I guess there aren't as many tech bros from the Mercado Libre offices buying overpriced asparagus now thanks to Temu.

It's genuinely insane how much Argentina is copying the Trump administration. They even cloned Karoline Leavitt.

I guess you could say that despite lots of talk to the contrary, the Milei administration wants the government to be the one who will determine a private company's fate (ba dum tiss).

Postales de la economía argentina: mientras los genios económicos declararon que hubo 4% de crecimiento, yo en la verdulería escuché a una señora negociando un descuento de 300 pesos para un morron medio podrido.

One of the weird things about this story is every time they mention Milei together with Hayden Davis, if I'm skimming the text I sometimes read it as "Miles Davis"

Beer Market, bear market.

At this time of day and with this lighting the Constituyentes gas tank looks like something out of a dystopian cyberpunk movie.
