J Milei was asked this very question last month by Niall Ferguson in the Free Press. Milei's answer was tk paraphrase. 'Trump is leading the free world in geopolitics. He has a much harder set of problems to solve in the correct order'. I'll accept that on the face of it and be patient.
I didn't. I knew that Trump was an idiot, just less (?) of an idiot than sleepy Joe. I do like some of what Trump is doing, but most of it not so much. But it's his support of Israel that will have the most unfortunate consequences. Like every president before him, he is moving us closer to Revelation 13. This was never going to end well.
Speaking of Israel, I experience the U.S. for the past 60 years as following Israel’s path in the Book of Kings. Willful, perverse leaders and policies that lead us ever closer to the end of the country as we know it.
Joel, Thanks for the update on Argentina's economy figures. Its good to have a lighthouse in the world, where common sense is working. Glad you are back home.
Happy to see you have opted to show Argentina´s geographical position as part of a map upside down. During decades many economists found it more realistic to show the country hanging on a fine string barely attached to the South Pole ready to fall off the world at any moment.A sign that we are progressing after all !!!!!
Will you ever write about any companies/investments down there that may look like they could be winners? I have owned ARGT for a bit but it seems to just go sideways within a band of $81 to $90. I write options on it and win some lose some. Haven't got it all figured out but I have been hoping the deregulation and the lower inflation down there will drive investment returns. Glad you mage it home safe and a 4 month vacation seems to prove your writing is paying off big time. Good for you. And it wasn't really a vacation because you kept writing! I am jealous! Not sure why since I'm retired and can go where and when I want to plus I get to read your interesting prose. Cheers!
Thank you Joel for the current update on a free society and how ending socialism has made the lives of millions so much better. I wish the millions of idiots in America would learn from your example, but it seems we just can’t fix stupid 🤔
Elimination of federal employees requires elimination of regulations which then creates new opportunity that increases gdp and starts to bring down inflation and possibly even prices.
So it has come to our attention that some very heavy hitters in the field of Austrian Economics, including Hans-Hermann Hoppe, the most well known student of Murray Rothbard, have resigned their positions in the Mises Institute of Germany as a protest against that Institute giving an award to Javier Milei. (Link below)
Would love to see you address these concerns, and inter-libertarian arguments, within one or more of your Notes.
I just read this and think back to my youth as I see the successes that are happening in real time, and now I can say to all the nay-sayers I knew then, "I told you so!"
I had such high hopes that Trump would follow the same path as Milei…sighhhhh

I agree with Musk: a budget bill can be big, or it can be beautiful. It can’t be both.

Read the book The Great Controversy, free online, https://archive.org/details/WhiteE.g.TheGreatControversyBetweenChristAndSatan.1884/mode/2up, if you haven't already. The book offers great insight into what is coming, using lessons from the past.

Yep, that mushroom syndrome. Feed them sh"" and tell them lies . That appears to be the mantra of a lot reporters.
Yep, and keep ‘em in the dark…
For got that part . Thanks for the add on!

It's good to be back, mate. I was getting a little weary covering all the negative news in the "developed world"!

They were educated to be ignorant.
You mean indoctrinated 🤔
Let me see if I have this right:
Elimination of federal employees requires elimination of regulations which then creates new opportunity that increases gdp and starts to bring down inflation and possibly even prices.
Is that right?
Trump's path is littered with stumbling blocks of his own creation.
Trump's ability to follow a Milei path could never be accomplished.
Any comments on this story? It appears that even if Milei didn't make money on this that his sister has done well:
