I like those by they are still more expensive than EV and don't go to all the places.

It will be in 10 years.
No tricks? What's the point?
The thing is, in weak democracies there's rarely "someone else" that will fix things. Ukraine got super lucky with Zelensky but even he looked like a total crook when elected. Pretty much only populists can win elections in countries like that and it's impossible to tell if the populist is saying populist things to get rich or to actually try fixing things. Most of the time they just want power and money and people that take the risk and vote for them have big chance of getting if more fucked.
If there’s a quick look into the abyss people might wake up and get into action.
And vote for the politicians that gave them slow decline again...
Yeah, they have all this money and the algorithms are getting more stupid. I hate it when saying "play Travis" (I use voice commands in car) always plays the exact same playlist in the exact same order. They also push the most popular songs on you so if a band you like did a shitty Barbie cover you will hear it all the time. And there's no dislike button to get rid of it. On my phone I just play custom playlists because the algorithms suck so much.
And when they do pass them everyone gets pissed because "mommy state" and corporate interests find a way to get rid of it anyway: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugary_drinks_portion_cap_rule
It's not just politicians. The entire system is broken.
I would agree if Argentina wasn't so fucked right now. The goal is not to make Argentina great but to get out of crisis. I think what can happen is that all this drastic cuts and price hikes will lower inflation and stabilize the economy. With inflation under control and normal interest rates people will be able to start saving money again, take out mortgages and import goods. This could improve their situation if public services survive but my guess is they will end up fully owned by foreign capital at the end.
What historical record? Can you point to another country taking such a extreme turn to the right while being in similar situation? And not being met with sanctions like in Afghanistan for example. I'm genuinely curious.
That's what I meant, it will do better "on paper".
Well, I guess we'll see. Currently I don't really see how privatizing everything and opening real estate market to foreign investors helps poor children but maybe it will. My guess is that when the private corporations take over everything they will squeeze even more money out of the poor but maybe the wealth will somehow trickle down. It's definitely an interesting experiment. My other guess is that if this fails all the libertarians will say that it's because he implemented all the policies they like so much wrong. If he succeeds I'm definitely voting for the right wing nutjobs in the next elections.
Doubt it. People don't change cars like that. Wealthy people might but I don't think they buy 50% of cars.
