Argentina’s annual inflation soared to 211.4% in 2023, the highest rate in 32 years and highest in the world, surpassing Venezuela, according to figures released Thursday by the government’s INDEC statistics agency.

The annual inflation compared with about 95% in 2022. The country’s monthly inflation stood at 25.5% in December, up from 12.8% in November, but slightly below the 30% the government had forecast.

Milei had said in an interview with a Buenos Aires radio station before the figures were released that if the monthly inflation rate came in below the forecast, that would be an accomplishment.

“If the number is closer to 25%, it means that the success was tremendous,” Milei said.

In his inauguration speech, Milei announced a painful adjustment plan aimed at staving off hyperinflation and warned that the measures would initially have a “negative impact on the level of activity, employment, real wages, and the number of poor and indigent people.” It is estimated that around 40% of the population live in poverty.

To fight hyperinflation, hyperinflation is necessary. As the inflation is higher than ever before, it is a tremendous success.

Three months ago, I was sitting in a toilet stall in Target. Through the giant gaping hole under the stall, I saw a man crack open a fresh bottle of iced tea, pour it on the floor, and then do it again since he deemed that he didn't pour it enough the first time around.

Decades of promoting anti-social behavior and packaging it as freedom has consequences. Shocking.

This whole drama comes down to mostly cis people (outside of blahj) yelling at trans people for the imagined crimes of inauthentically being their gender. New place, same old transphobia.

China's several timezones ahead, so they can stab us from the future. We can't see it coming. We need to develop our counter knife program immediately so that we can stab them from the past as a preemptive defense!

They actually like saying "Let's Go Brandon" and " Rigger" more.
It's a secret codeword for them to show in-group affiliation. There's no point to a dog whistle that is so transparent and blatant, but I never accused them of being intelligent.

My quarterly KPI numbers were down and my handler was not pleased but the party always provides.

Thank Xi for the federation. This has been the best thing that happened to my social credit score since the coverup for the failure of the Three Gorges Dam.
