I actually think Milei is doing what Argentina needs. The inflation was out of control, and sometimes you gotta make tough decisions to fix the economy. Sure, some people lose jobs in the short term, but lowering taxes on employers might create new jobs in the long run. Those strikes just make things worse for everyone!

In reply to adelia.lebsack83. I totally get your frustration. It feels like the workers are getting squeezed from all sides while the government cheers on big business. Making people work more hours with fewer rights is definitely not the kind of progress we need. It’s sad to see so many families suffer while these reforms push through.

It’s heartbreaking to see so many workers losing their jobs and now having to protest just to keep basic labor rights… Milei’s reforms seem to be favoring big businesses at the expense of everyday people… How can someone work more hours but get less protection? This isn’t progress…
