I am in my 80s and have been following Argentina for the last 60 years and I am super cautious about this change in Govt. For me it’s just a matter of time before the people vacillate and go back to socialism or some repressive form of government on the right. Sorry to rain on your parade, I hope I’m proven wrong because I really like this current president, but there’s the old saying “the past is prologue to the future“. I really hope that’s not the case here and that this country has really learned its lesson. Only time will tell.
Thank you Joel for another hopeful write🙏 It’s amazing how one leader can make or break a nation. There you have president Javier Milei, who has single handily broken the communist/socialist/globalist agenda in one swoop of freedom and capitalism. Even after a century of leftist indoctrination and destruction, common sense and the power of freedom finally rules over free stuff. We now have the same opportunity here in America, with the strongest leader and administration our country has ever experienced. The left continues its domination over media and education, but is getting its overdue butt kicking like the lefts psycho Islamic leader friends in Iran. I’m very excited for our current and future relationship between America and Argentina, and with two of the world’s strongest leaders working together, our entire hemisphere will be secure and prosperous together. 🙏
And that applies to each & every one who isn’t Twain, or Twainesque — & who will never not return to perch upon & warm up, or re-trauma-bond with, stoves here, there, anywhere.
Good ol’ boy, from Texas, used to say lots of people walk around with the cut end of their umbilicals in hand, looking to plug back in.
“Ma-ma.”
Would all blaze trails to Pascal, if they could?
That they can't is the unfree agency point:
Shawshank Redemption —Zihuatenejo— for some, Shawshank ReDempsey knockout for the others.

How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm
After they've seen Paree'
How ya gonna keep 'em away from Broadway
Jazzin around and paintin' the town
How ya gonna keep 'em away from harm, that's a mystery
They'll never want to see a rake or plow
And who the deuce can parleyvous a cow?
How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm
After they've seen Paree’ … 🎶

Music didn’t die after the 70’s, but it got older & older & now does shows & extended shows & additional shows down a dark desert highway that’s been neon & nuclear & cosa nostra-lit at the S’fear … The Last Resort, from ’76, is the good poetry of so much of the go-go-goetry …:
I considered attending this, but was unable to. Had I realized you were there, I’d have tried harder. Sorry I missed it, but hope to touch base when in Argentina. Thank you for the quality updates and fine writing.
"For seventy-five years, Argentina has proven itself a world leader in economic self-sabotage and ineptocracy." Truer words were never spoken (or written). And they did it without getting deep into any major wars.
Next, we'll see if the US can get out of the rut that gets them into every major war without inflicting economic self-sabotage upon its citizens. It may take a long time to play out, and hopefully I won't witness all of what I expect will happen.
Joel, You and your family have coverd lots of ground. i enjoy hearing about the positive leaps and bounds Argentina is making in its great expierement. Back here in the U.S. I think Pres. Trump has more interest in wars ,money and power. He has long forgotten his sworn committment to represent the best interest of the people of this country. War= the taxpayer pays for it with money and with the blood of their families and friends. For what? We are not speading Democracy !
