The last four years just before the new administration stepped in this year, was completely engaged in gutting the social services, stealing everything which wasn't tied down, leaving the people with wildly rising prices, unemployment, food shortages, utilities suddenly almost beyond their means to afford, and problems many of them had never encountered, while Macri and his fascist cohorts were busy stuffing their pockets, setting up foreign investments, as the country started imploding, the people suffering in shock.

The fact they aren't all in prison, yet, testifies to the power cultivated by Macri and his cronies in the justice system.

The reason Argentina was blindsided by this international disaster was because the government was unprepared to meet it in the public's interest, due to the pillage conducted by the hard-right bullies who wormed their way into power.

The new President courageously volunteered to tackle dragging the economy out of the deep hole Macri created. It always takes longer to heal than it does to become damaged. I think they can do it.

Very best wishes to Argentina. At least now it has a chance.

Thank you, sandensea.
