Javier Milei - man of the century?

I haven't been so excited and optimistic in a very long time. What Javier Milei, the President of Argentina, is planning to do is absolutely fantastic! I cannot believe that this is being said, proposed and actually acted upon in today's rotten culture that engulfs most of the planet. Some of the issues he will address:

- Prepare all state-owned companies to be privatized

- Authorize the shareholder control of Aerolineas Argentinas to be partly or completely transferred to private parties

- Deregulate satellite Internet services

- Eliminate price controls on prepaid healthcare plans

- Repeal the current Rent Law that limits price increases in a bid to normalize the real estate market

- Repeal the current Land Law that limits ownership of land by foreigners in a bid to promote investments

- Scrap the current Supply Law that allows the government to set minimum and maximum prices and profit margins for goods and services of private companies

- Eliminate the Economy Ministry’s price observatory to “avoid the persecution of companies”

And this is only the beginning. More to come. But what I'm excited most about is that he grounds his economic reform on solid philosophical foundation:

"Those ideas that failed in Argentina are the same ideas that have failed throughout the planet because everywhere they have been tried, they've been an economic failure, they have been a social failure and a cultural failure."

"And on top of that, it has cost the lives of millions of human beings. It is a doctrine that some would call left-wing socialism, communism, fascism, and what we like to call collectivism."

"It's a form of thought that dilutes the individual in favor of the state and is the basic foundation of a caste model of thought, which is based on the premise that the State is more important than the individuals that make up that nation."

I get goosebumps just by rereading this. It is absolutely remarkable that a President of a major country has the clarity of mind to see that communism and fascism are but the two sides of the same collectivist coin. And on top of that, to have the courage to lay it as foundation of his political platform. If he manages to get this passed either by decree or by Parliament, and by miracle to avoid being crushed by the mob of protesters or assassinated by some maniac, Argentina will very soon become the best place to live on Earth. I'm starting to learn Spanish. 👌👍🥳

PS Javier Milei was once compared to Trump. It should be obvious now that the comparison is ridiculous. Trump cannot even pronounce 'ideology' and probably confuses it with 'idiocy'.

Slowly but surely, BBC is becoming the worst news outlet

The BBC has recently published this piece titled "Video shows stripped Palestinian men detained in Gaza". I thought "Oh, my God, this is Israel's version of Abu Ghraib! 😱". But, no 🙂. This is only BBC's version of "Nothing really happened, but since Israel's doing it, let's make a horror story out of it".

Check it out:

... a video has emerged on social media showing dozens of Palestinian men detained by Israel.

The footage, verified by the BBC, shows them stripped to their underwear, kneeling on the ground and being guarded by Israeli soldiers

dozens of men are lined up on a pavement and appear to have been told to remove their shoes

Yes, indeed, all of that is true, less the intended drama. These guys might have raped and killed, and decapitated babies, and the BBC reports that they have been ordered to remove their shoes??!! That's it, BBC! I'm switching to CNN!
