In Javier Milei's mission to rescue the Argentine economy, few thigs are as important as restoring the currency. We explain what went wrong and what is being done to fix it.

@PhilipPullman It's off to a good start, though. There's a feeling of real change in the air, right?

@stevebr69915692 @EsheruKwaku Eloquent.

@stevebr69915692 @EsheruKwaku Commie scum.

@mattwridley Did he answer the question?

Interesting thread. The argument is basically correct: "worker rights" are popular with the electorate and the fact that Reform was against the Employment Rights Bill could be seen as a weakness. But if Labour make noise around it, Reform should take the opportunity to educate the electorate about the downsides to regulation and why a free market is better for all involved.

@ox_anna29 Still obviously a cynical attempt to gain electoral advantage.

@arealmermaid2 @Yibril17 @ProfSteveKeen This is Alexander Hamilton opining that if the Republic ran out of money they should just print some more.

@PoliticsPollss Do they 'deserve' it? No. Is it a bad idea to pay our parliamentarians better? Not necessarily. It might attract higher quality candidates.

@PolitlcsUK @thetimes There's not necessarily a need for people to be proud to be British just because they're born here. What's important is that they're not ashamed of it.

I have a lot of sympathy for the idea of claim to land via homesteading, but the problem is that indigenous people in the US were far, far from numerous enough to lay claim to the whole country and besides, they weren't one people, but tribes in constant conflict over land. Whoever owned it when they were violently and criminally evicted by white settlers might themselves have stolen it from someone else a few years before.

@thereaaaljaay @tretre7436 @DiabolicalDon89 @DaBoyDame You’re a moron. Adieu.

@louderry It is purely motivated by political expediency. Or do you think they believe we need the advice of 16 year olds to choose what foreign and economic policy to pursue?

@PolitlcsUK What a preposterous waste of resources not to mention an authoritarian overreach against free speech.

@thereaaaljaay @tretre7436 @DiabolicalDon89 @DaBoyDame If they were the first inhabitants, then who enslaved them???

Nonsense. MMT hides behind this lie that they are the only ones who understand accounting. We all do. MMT gets the macro economics wrong. They assume that government spending is GDP additive simply because it increases demand and that the money supply is largely endogenous. That's wrong. We know that because the era of fiat money has seen high inflation strongly correlated with money supply growth.

@reformexposed @Nigel_Farage Yes, things have gone downhill ever since Thatcher.

@ScouseLakes These people work. The free loaders are on benefits.

@PeterStefanovi2 @YouGov A grave indictment on the quality of British political leaders.

@ED_TABS_90 @Brandon_Lord123 @LouiseScot51918 @The_TUC What is that chestnut? That return on equity has to justify the risk of the investment?
