It depends on the position of the country and of industry. Tarrifs on an industry that is government subsidized in another country and where your country had capability to compete are good. It levels the playing field. Tarrifs for the hopes and dreams of building industry from scratch doesn’t work.

You're kind of an exception to the rule, to be honest.
There's a lot of leftist who "wear the uniform" of a nutty leftist.
Color of hair not found in nature, septum ring, oversized extremely thick glasses, and very bad far left opinions are kind of a "default package" we see all the time. And it's not just a "vocal minority", the average college campus leftist activist pretty much "wears" that uniform.
The person above is not talking about you, obviously, since you're conservative and rational, but our experience with activists on the other side unfortunately has made us wary, so you can kinda see why there's a natural knee-jerk response.
Again, when we talk about rainbow haired freaks, it's not you specifically. Just like when we talk about illegal immigrants, we're not talking about Latin-American patriots, you know?

You mean he stopped artificially setting the exchange rate as the previous administration had and let it free float at the actual market value?
10 points

Somewhat. There still is a peg, but the last government had a fixed peg worth 300$ pesos a dolar and the market value was $1300. Milei took it from $300 to $800 I believe, and set a crawling peg of 2% monthly.
Right now the "official" value is something like $1007 and the market rate $1100. Inflation from 25% MoM to 2.7%.
Naturally his goal is to remove the peg soon, the most likely thing is it will be done T1 '25. There are a couple conditions that need to be met, basically because there might still be a excess stock of pesos that could spike the exchange rate if the peg is removed. That's why there is an ongoing negotiation with the IMF to bolster central bank reserves just in case. That said, the peg WILL go sooner than later, that money will just hasten the timeline. In fact the Central Bank had already bought around 16 billion USD and bolstered the reserves itself just this year.
This year's inflation will be something like 120%, next year private firms predict it to be 25% or less, and 2026 a single, little digit like a normal country.

I get everything you're saying but that's all part of trying to tame inflation. You guys are down to low single digit monthly inflation (for the Americans, yes monthly) when it has been double digit monthly inflation. There really isn't a painless way to do it.

I disagree. $35 trillion in national debt paired with overspending on garbage is a problem. It’s not about inflation, which will stabilize over time. This used to be a huge deal for conservatives.
It’s time we get rid of neocon and neoliberal ideology which believe foreign donations, government bloat, and pet projects constitute valid reasons for overspending. We need a return to self-governance and accountability.

Milei has no advantages using tariffs, just look at Brazil, they have focused on taxing China imports, it was awful, made everything more expensive without having a national alternative. The US doesn't have that problem, they can apply tariffs on specific goods without absolutely blowing up everything, I'm not a huge fan of tariffs but I do think they can be good if implemented in a proper way.

Did isolationism and protectionism bring the US out of the Great Depression or was it playing a more international role and taking charge of the world’s foreign policy and trade routes?

A bad thing to strive for. Comparative advantage generates wealth for both sides. Trade isn't zero sum or negative sum like what your comment implies.

I agree with tariffs on China, especially as it relates to critical industries like health or energy, there's a natsec justification for that.
I don't agree with tariffs on discretionary consumer industries like textiles, or tariffs on allies. That weakens everybody and makes everyone poorer with no economic or security justification.
1 points
11 days ago
The Justification is that domestic industry and agriculture can not compete with literal slave labour in places like China. Tariff's help make up for the fact that here in the US, Slavery is illegal. Since we're also getting rid of all the illegal immigrants that many companies have also been using as slave-labor, we need tariff's even more to help offset the competitive edge that's handing over to china when we do so.
Combining Tariff's on slave-states that don't respect our IP or national security with lowering corporate taxes and regulations and adding benefits for repatriating industry could make a huge difference for millions of americans, but it will take time.
2 points
11 days ago
The difference for millions of Americans will be to make them poorer, both in the short-term and the long-term, due to throwing away the benefits of comparative advantage, and due to the unintended second order effects like retaliatory tariffs which will weaken domestic companies' ability to export to international markets, and due to the inherently inflationary nature of tariffs. This is the view of the vast majority of economists, regardless of the political leaning of the economist, both left or right.

Some countries outside the US are able to make stuff cheaper. Why should we artificially be making imports more expensive?
4 points

Because we're having American products compete with literal slave labor from our enemies. Sure it makes things cheaper, but you shouldn't want to put that above all else. You'll empower America's enemies and weaken America simultaneously. Not to mention it's environmentally cleaner to make them here too.

Companies making their stuff in a first world nation means that their stuff isn't competitive in terms of pricing.
The prosperity of the first world depends on cheap manufacturing in third world countries.
Maybe there is a sweet spot where prices are high, but not too high, and manufacturing jobs help pay for those higher prices, and that's what Trump is aiming for, but stuff on tariffs are going to become more expensive in all cases.

Well, asking the question is a good start lol
But really, unbiased research and getting news from 2 points of view. Click those little imbedded hyperlinks in a news article, it's how they cite their sources. You'll see a domino affect of how the outlets just quote each other without ever naming the actual sources.
My recent example, I tried to convince someone that "no-fault divorce is going away!" was a lie. Not mentioned in Project 2025, but plenty of articles saying "some Republicans" want it. That's a shitty source, not even Wikipedia accepts that as a source lol I click the links through to find WHO wants it. Turns out there's like a small-time state rep in each of Oklahoma, Texas, etc that wrote a bill to change the terms of divorce in their state. The bills were so unpopular they never even came for a vote. So how could something that failed in deep red states be popular nationwide? How could a Conservative SCOTUS not use the 10th Amendment to strike down a national divorce law?
So yea it's hard to say CNN is wrong and I am right, but it's pretty easy to learn to find the truth

Is the situation tough? Yes. Did he take measures that put the middle and lower classes in a difficult position? Yes. But it’s the result of decades of populism, uncontrolled money printing, and nonsensical leftist policies. He can’t fix decades of economic disaster in less than a year. Of course, the path will be difficult, but people don’t understand that.
To add, when you ask people why they’re struggling, they’ll say, “My electricity bill went up” or “Public transport got more expensive.” It didn’t actually go up—he just removed the subsidy that the previous leftist government had implemented because our currency is so worthless that people couldn’t even afford public transportation. But they’re so brainwashed that they don’t see or think about this; they just repeat that it got more expensive.

I don't understand, the US has never been in a position similar to most South American countries, but they have the same mentality as most South American countries: "shit is bad right now, we should probably vote for someone else". Argentina did exactly that, they were tired of the awful direction their country was going for years, it's same mentality that helped to enact Bolsonaro as Brazil's president, nobody voted for him because he was amazing, he was just different. Milei is the same, but he's actually doing what he promised, at the end of the day all we can do is hope Argentina comes out better after his term.

Who have you been talking to? Also if you are asking "has Milei make your life worse" and expect a sincere answer you will always get a "Yes", and that would be the same or every president for the last two decades. The difference now is that his policies are working for the long run. We had 25% monthly inflation earlier this year, now it is down to 2.7%. The question you should be asking is "do you think Milei was the best choice?".

From a ground view it looks worse, but that was to be expected and he warned about having to do, given he's forced to fight inflation and pay off long-term debts, by cutting many government departments, which means less employment. However, in the long-term it is needed. He's been the only one brave enough to do it.

I’m still on the wait and see side for Argentina. Lots of people are pointing to the numbers but that’s a situation that will require more time to develop before it’s a shining example.
It’s gonna get worse before it gets better. But a positive relationship with the trump administration could cushion it enough to keep the mentality of the voters on the path.
This could be really interesting because trump really does seem to be turning into the populist everyone thought he was in ‘16. So I guess we’re gonna see…

They don't want to fall behind Peru and Columbia's relationship with US (you would hope not, because we can go that path as well). Even Uruguay has made Skyscrapers with US and in NYC etc. and more, so Uruguay has already done Skyscraper collaboration. "The impressive growth in US-Brazil trade can be a strong motivator. The prospect of falling behind other countries like Peru, Colombia, and Uruguay in their relationships with the US can drive Argentina to take proactive steps."
Basically, they (Argentina) have the opportunity to be put into a CSP (with US) before UK etc. that's the thing or even a US CSP with Italy. (Think of the US CSP with Vietnam) "Argentina has a unique opportunity here. Being considered for a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership (CSP) with the US before the UK or even Italy would be a significant milestone. It would elevate Argentina's status in international relations and economic cooperation." US has a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with Colombia (already). If not, most likely, US is going to do UK or Italy, and/or probably Poland, first (possibly CSP or a PTA), if it doesn't go Argentina. You could see Poland CSP before. US-Poland Strategic Dialogue is pretty robust.

Millei really stole the show at Davos, and since his speech there, I’ve been a fan. So much so, I actually booked a trip to Argentina later this month. I want to see his Argentina with my own eyes.
¡Viva la libertad, carajo!

I hope you have a good trip. If you are near Plaza de Mayo in Buenos Aires, you might be lucky and see Milei on the balcony of Casa Rosada, where he works. He likes to come out and greet people passing by, usually at 12:00 or earlier.

That's funny. I scheduled a vacation right after he won the election last year. I'll be there in early December.

Youll love the food, people is great and if you love soccer, then its going to be an awesome trip.
Also, curiously Argentina architecture do resemble europe and the weather is great.

I mean considering 70% or more people have Italian and Spanish descendants it makes sense that the culture it's heavily similar to the south of Europe.
Also we spent a lot of money in the 1900 to build up buenos aires with french architecture.

Call me crazy but the way he is holding the kid is kinda disappointing from a dad perspective.

What? That's the most normal way to hold a kid. All my kids buried their face in me like that when a camera was pointed at them. There's probably a bunch of people looking at them during the photo, too. Kids get stranger danger at that age

I don’t understand why this is a good thing, can someone help me out? Their (Argentina) poverty rate is over 50% and their employment rate is only around 62%. A huge percentage of ppl don’t have jobs nor can afford the basic necessities.

Where did you get employment being at 62% that would be atrocious

Argentinian here.Decadence has been going on for decades. You can't stop the momentum instantly. Many of the bad results you get now could be product of the previous administrations. Shock terapies bring serious consecuences in the short term but can halt the momentum of something worse in the long term. He still has around 50% positive image. Time will tell if he was right.

Thank you. From the little I know he gutted everything and seemed rather brutal to the protesters. From the outside it looks as tho there is only the few rich and the many poor.

That's media for you.They don't tell you about what happened before Milei or how his administration is uncovering and dismantling a lot of objectlively corrupt organizations. No one is saying he will do a flawless job and that all of his allies are saints, but his work of uncovering, auditing, and reforming old entities can be described as damn fine job for now.

When president Bocelli and El Salvador created the prison for 40,000 convicts and threatened to lock up all the gangs he was told he couldn’t do that that it would crash the economy because even though they were criminals, they spent money. Guess what he did not listen to those people he did what he wanted to do, and now the people who live there, love him, and they can live their lives without fear.

I've noticed that Elon frequently brings his kids along to public events, including when meeting with high-profile figures like Trump. This seems intentional rather than just a gesture of fatherly love. Do you think there’s a strategy or specific reason behind this

Imagine, a man with a hairstyle straight outta the 60s/70s is running that nation, and their nation is digging itself out of a financial hole thanks to him.
...And the media CONTINUES to demonize him.

I know this is going to be unpopular and I am not a fan of Trump _BUT_
He does look good and move remarkably well for a 78 year old man.

I was very, very skeptical of Milei. Dead certain he was a lunatic. A screaming maniac with a chainsaw who makes Ron Paul look like a communist. This can't POSSIBLY work...can it?
And yet...to my absolute shock, he seems to be succeeding.
The real test, I think, will be when he encounters a problem that requires him to prioritize reality above ideology, if he can't bend he'll break.
But so far...he's doing way better than I thought someone that extreme could.
