  1. 1

    The Civilian Beehive has leaked a story.

    David Seynour will be deputy PM. But another person will act as PM while CLuxon is not available.

    The role of deputy PM has been re-defined to catering at any and all Cabinet breakfasts.

  2. 2

    Everything about this character, from his bizaare personal life, he's a single forced birther and a former tantric coach with a liking for mutiples who considers sex education to be a form of socialist indoctrination and the cloned dogs he considers to be his grandchildren to his communication with the dead and his barking plans to dollarise the Argentinian economy, reads like a catastrophe in the making.

    The president-elect dedicated his victory on Sunday to his fur babies, but it’s not the first time Conan and his progeny have been referenced as an integral part of his campaign. Milei revealed earlier this year that he communicates with his four-legged children via a mystic and that each dog serves a distinct advisory role.

    Milei has also indicated that through his medium, he has been able to communicate with famous economists like Murray Rothbard and Ayn Rand. He’s even claimed to have communicated with God, who convinced him to launch a career in politics.

      2. 2.1.2

        It was no worse than voting in NACT/NZF.

        Its nihilism to the old New Zealand (a land where owned a home while raising a family). A choice to have a divided country – rule in the interests of the upper half of society. A nation where half would not own homes when they retire (the super age criteria will become irrelevant – those who rent will have to keep working).

        They are voting to dollarise the economy – while ending association with Brazil and China – because socialism is bad, concern for the poor is bad (so the Pope is also bad). It's economic lunacy – last time it resulted in default on their debt and got terms from the IMF.

        Milei has already tried to redeem the junta period, so we know where he is going to go to keep the left from taking his job back when his policies fail.

      3. 2.1.3

        What was so bad that a majority of the Argentinian voters decided to take a chance on someone you so describe?

        And how awful would 'things' have to get before it might be our turn?

        “Everything that can be in the hands of the private sector will be in the hands of the private sector,” he [Milei] told Bueno Aires station Radio Mitre.

        "Everything" – boom times ahead for wealthy investors looking for new opportunities to extract profit – another unsustainable neoliberal merger of stupidity and greed.
