TLDR:
The Ministry of Culture (and a few more: Social Development, Education, Women, Labor) will all get merged into a new one called Ministry of Human Capital.
Ministry of Human Capital
Did they have a contest to find the most inhuman, corpo-speak name possible or did they start with “Ministry of Human Chattel” and decide to tone it down slightly?
You don’t need a competition when you have an oxymoron like an anarco capitalist at the helm. They are naturals.
This feels like it’s going to end up as Anarcho-Capitalisms Cuba. Touted as proof that it works by supporters and as proof it doesn’t work by detractors. I hope the Argentinian people come out of this ahead, or at the very least not even worse off.
It’s going to be a fucking mess.
Hard to be much worse off than over half the population living in poverty and using the black market to get basic things. In Europe and the United States, the black market is where criminals sell drugs. In Argentina, the black market is where everybody sells everything. Drugs or not.
I don’t know about that. Capitalism with minor restrictions and major corruption are largely to blame for it. Taking away minor restrictions and just leaving the capitalism and corruption to their own devices, really only can end one way.
Yeah, I know, which is why I fully understand chosing this guy over literally their prior finance minister. It’s pretty much “change nothing and hope it improves” vs “blow it all up and hope his ideas work half as well as he thinks they will”.
If I remember correct, the saying is something like an idiot does the same things over and over again and expects different results. Sometimes you just have to blow something up and start again.
On the chopping block is the Argentine Ministry of Culture, along with the ministries of Health, Labor, Social Development, and Education
Feel like leading with the Mjnistry of Culture being cut over anyone of these to be odd.
Source appears to be called ‘Art News’, so they probably have a particular interest in arts and culture.
lol dude is that was he looks like? Jesus what is it with electing the weirdest looking cunts on the planet?
In Argentina, photographers usually try to get the most unflattering pictures of politicians so they can sell them to newspapers ideologically opposed to said politicians.
That’s not what’s happening here. He really does look like that. You should see what he looks like when he’s posing for a picture.
Holy shit, talk about crazy eyes. Terrifying.
I can’t help but think of Jekyll and Hyde when I see his face.

Kiwis are terrible devs.
Are you talking about the fruit or bird?
The bird! The fruit can’t type.
Of course, my bad
I’m interested to see how his crazy reforms would turn out.
educationally for those watching the disaster from a distance
Probably better than many think. While provatizing critical infrastructure is a very bad thing to do (and I think education is one of those infrastructures), other things are in dire need of reforms in Argentina.
The catch is privatization make profit a priority.
Sure, the previous government was corrupt but wasn’t infected with the infinite growth cancer.
Why does this guy look like a villain from Doctor Who?
Populist leaders around the World seem to be in a race for the wackiest hairstyle,
Well, were they on a tight budget for wigs?
Let’s see what happen with this fascist as the head of Argentina.
