if they can't afford adequate housing, as the starting place.

Reading the elitists' cynical attitude was a shock. They are not redeemable. That hatred for suffering people is a sign they couldn't matter less, themselves.

It's a miracle they all haven't been torn limb from limb. They should bless the multitudes they fear and despise for not murdering them while they sleep!

I so appreciate the information you've shared on the subject. It would have taken some intelligent, focused research and considerable time to acquire it through personal research.

It still doesn't seem possible Macri is gone before creating even more pain. He was able to set a record as Argentina's first one term President, and I just read he's also South America's first one term president, as well! Setting records. Hope his friend MacTrump can do as well.

Regarding Chagas, since the disease got so entrenched throughout the Americas due to the shocking racism and classism of the elites and their refusal to invest in addressing the problem until the 1940's, it had a horrendous hold on all the countries. I looked the disease up after seeing your post, and saw that Argentina appears to be so much more cleansed of Chagas it's not even listed now as one of the countries struggling with it any longer. There is a huge contrast there with Brazil. I hadn't known of that battle Perón won. He hasn't been given nearly enough credit for that one.
