Widespread poverty. Currently at 53% of the population (was 25% before Milei took office). Homelessness and hunger exploding. Misery for the majority, bonanza for the few ultra-rich.
65% say their income is much lower than before Milei. 64% say economy and quality of life is much lower than before Milei. 63-65% say education, transport, food security are in a worst state than before Milei. Poverty, homelessness and hunger levels at all time high.
His support base is the ultra-rich and men over 60.

Thank you for asking. IMO, the article, while very nicely written, mixes anecdotal “evidence” with a single biased source of “statistics” (Argentine Catholic University). Thus the “picture” of the problem represents a very small part of the larger reality.
Yes, there are many people suffering acutely, yet the entire population will ultimately benefit from the lower inflation and balanced budget. Most of the people impacted most have been the “managers” of the funding (who typically extract much of the value before “helping” those in need. They have had a very good life - until recently…. Those workers with productive skills (like electricians!) will be in demand as growth continues to improve. Housing is notoriously cheap and definitely feels price pressure. Things take time - like turning around a big ship. Let’s look again at the results in a couple more years!
