In a bright spot for the country's poor, the price of a basic food basket tracked by INDEC, representing the cost of essential food items to meet minimum nutritional requirements, fell by 0.4% between April and May, the agency said.
Overall, prices of food and non-alcoholic drinks were up half a percentage from April, among the lowest increases among the categories INDEC tracks.
This is pretty heartwarming ngl.
Too bad @didiplaywell disappeared. I enjoyed getting regular Argentina updates.
Hello! I appreciate you summon me for this stuff.
I took a break from SN precisely because of this subject, since I became increasingly frustrated at the fact that no amount of proof and reasoning was able to make people relinquish their devotion to take legacy media up to the letter and fall over and over and over again for the exact same cliche manipulation tactics.
I came back recently to see if the airs had changed a little but nope, same thing, unchanged, undeterred: #1000741 . I intervened there only because it was k00b. I'm staying back again a little, I'm curious to see if the latest political events can shake things a lil' bit here.
Are things still going about as you had hoped they would? That inflation chart is pretty astonishing, but it's exactly what I remember you telling me was happening.
By all means, things are going so much better and so much faster than I ever hoped the would, even in my wildest, most unhinged dreams, that I stopped being sensitive about it. It just do not feels real. After decades spent in a soviet shithole, you get used to it in the sense that this changes, what should feel normal, feels rare. And it's only accelerating.
That said, we are of course, as Milei himself always stated: "at least 5 years from starting to be a mediocre economy, 10 years from being a minimally decent economy, and 35 years from being a super-power, if the path is kept strictly".
Hey, stranger on the internet here. It would be so awesome if you would write up a short stacker news post on what you see to be happening.
Despite the majority not believing you, it is of crucial importance for the minority (me, a person) to see the real account.
Here: #1006608
Sure thing!
I find that very uplifting. Congratulations on experiencing real positive change.
Thank you Sr, appreciated. I keep doing my best to support this new path. I hope I can also make it to somehow add my two cents to the party Musk is promoting now.
Where are all the Milei haters?
Let perfect be the enemy of the good!
They are all focusing on reaching ever more lame levels of negation.
They will never concede, for their self-perceived entitlement depends exclusively on negation, as for terraplanists.
They've returned recently: https://stacker.news/didiplaywell/all
How about peso?
what?
argentine peso
I know. What is "how about peso?" asking for?
I was wondering how the Argentine peso/dollar chart looks right now. Got a graph for that? My bad for not being clear!
The graph I shared shows the inflation in the peso. Do you mean money supply growth?

Inflation should match (negative) derivative/slope of exchange rate, right?
Something is happening in the last three months, but it's not clear it's better than the year-long trend (yet).
