They didn't even hang the fucking flag right
This is what happens when you let the lowest bidder hang the flag
The wrongest man in history
Amazing that there was once a time when people took Elon’s predictions about the future and technology seriously.
their copium now is that its going up at a slower pace 
not the prices itself but that rise of prices is going up slower ( 289.4% in May compared to 287.9% in April).
Nerds love second order derivative arguments.
"It's still increasing but the rate at which it's increasing is going down"
Or, as people who don't have a lanyard cutting off oxygen to their brain correctly perceived it, shits still going up.
"We're still heading off the cliff at insane speed, but the rate of acceleration has somewhat slowed"
Aka we're approaching terminal velocity
Luckily soon we will slow down very quickly
Nixon made a similar argument once. It’s the 3rd derivative since inflation is the first derivative of a currency’s buying power.

Just keep taking derivatives and eventually you'll find one going in the direction you want.
This is e^x erasure
Hah, yeah.
But on a real-world data set, even if the underlying phenomenon is e^x, you'll keep amplifying sample noise until the derivatives are basically random. Assuming you even have enough data to keep taking derivatives.
Capitalism is a religion, not an economic system.
Is it any coincidence that the only somewhat tolerable places to live under capitalism are ones that don’t treat capitalism as gospel?
It's weird how the same scenario applies with religion. You can have a place where a majority of a population is religious or even the same religion but it turns out the best outcome is pairing that with secular government policy and implementation.
By this rate we will hit the 2% goal in 2 centuries! Suck it commies
Fuck the BBC so much. They did a story about protests against this dipshits economic "policy". The presenter- not the analyst -The fucking presenter is like, "Why don't these people at least give him a chance." Idiot, if anyone knows about how austerity works, it's fucking Argentina.
Their (the BBC, NYT, etc etc ad infinitum) have done more to normalize dogshit policy and opinion under the guise of "we're just asking questions" and "we need to wait and see" than all the blatant propaganda in the world.
Not surprising but interesting to note- if a socialist even glances at the levers of power, there's no "give them a chance," it's suddenly that everything bad that has ever happened, is happening, and will happen is their fault and they must be removed immediately, by force if necessary. But libertarians get this and are the don't tread on me folks, god I hate them.
To copy and paste
RIGHT-WING LIBERTARIANISM is one of the most powerful ideological influences of United States of America…
“One gratifying aspect of our rise to some prominence is that, for the first time in my memory, we, ‘our side,’ had captured a crucial word from the enemy . . . ‘Libertarians’ . . . had long been simply a polite word for left-wing anarchists, that is for anti-private property anarchists, either of the communist or syndicalist variety. But now we had taken it over…”
Murray Rothbard
Why is it a surprise that these liberals, who hate anything 'authoritarian', insist on 'libertarians' to get things right?
"Give him a chance " it's actually a political campaign by the altright coalition. They haven't stopped the propaganda since the elections
And how long has he been in office again?
I want to say around a year, but my sense of time is fucked up
7 months lol
I have balanced my household budget.
Were not paying for water or electricity and we're not buying food anymore.
This type of inflation is so fast it is likened to the speed of sound google "sonic inflation chastity_cage male_on_male transformation bdsm latex" to find out more
Thank you for your economic knowledge. I'm not well versed on the specialist jargon.
Some blame goes to the US fed doing a debt shock with their interest rate increases, no?
So many countries now days need innovative young minds
Pause. Different subject.

See You Space Cowboy...
Except Tim had spent the last year proudly bragging about how he was going to improve ventilation in the store by crashing a weinermobile into it.
With no survivors
Don't kink shame, maybe he has a 🎈 fetish
We're gonna make the economy big and round and taut
I hope the economy doesn't swallow me whole
Gonna tell my kids this was King Louis Philippe.
There is a meme, going around some leftist argentinian circles, that compares Milei to Pol Pot.
Of course is an exageration, but taking into account the level of deshumanization, hate, negacionism and religious delirium that this little libertarian gremblin is showing... we are getting close to the Pot levels.
So he's turning to scapegoating to stave off a full 1848 style revolution. Hopefully he gets overthrown like the real Louis Philippe.
I hope the people kick him to the curb soon
Vulture capitalists:
There's a new day in view
There is gold in the blue
There is hope in the heart of men
All the world's on the way
To a sunnier day
