There are a lot of Argentinos in Mexico. Mainly, because finding a job is hard. Mexico has about 130 million people and is a very large consumer market.
This is the population of Argentina:
As of the 2022 census [INDEC], Argentina had a population of 46,234,830 - a 15.3% increase from the 40,117,096 counted in the 2010 census [INDEC]. Argentina ranks third in South America in total population and 33rd globally.
Most of those numbers are poor people and unemployed people who used to be middle class and no longer are middle class. Austerity and cutting services, while there is inflation loss of income, and lack of jobs that are secure for the workers and office people who used to rely on a secure government job that has been slashed out of existence? Is going to be a real problem. Milei is going to have protesters in the street. He is going to see them as rabble-rousing 'zurdos' (left-handed) or leftists and who knows if he will shoot them down or kill them? He is very volatile in general.
He is going to be a villain for sure. His family background is far Right from Eastern Europe fleeing that scene. No, I think he will be a really terrible scene for most of the working people.
John Rawls, if people become unemployed in Estonia do they have any protections for the period between gainful employment? Do they have food stamps or food alottments? Do they have a healthy social safety net or not? Or private health insurance or publicly funded health insurance?
Those are the kinds of protections developed nations get.
Argentina has this:
What is the universal child allowance in Argentina?
The AUH is a non-contributory cash transfer scheme for children whose parents are unemployed, in domestic service, self-employed, or employed in the informal sector and earn less than a minimum threshold.

What is the social protection system in Argentina?
Argentina is a country with considerable social protection coverage, reaching in 2018 around 72.5 per cent of children and adolescents through the contributory system, the non-contributory system and tax deduction schemes; and 98.1 per cent of the elderly through contributory pensions and retirements, non-contributory ...

Does Argentina have a public health system?
Health care in Argentina - Wikipedia
A system of public medical facilities is maintained by the government. The public system is highly decentralized, as it is administered at the provincial level; often primary care will be regulated autonomously by each city. Since 2001, the number of Argentines relying on public services has seen an increase.
As such? @JohnRawls if he shocks them and removes all those protections because he needs to SLASH and make sure investors feel safe in coming in and making a profit as you suggest and he sends all those Argentinos into no protection because it is the dreaded socialism that is to blame? We will see if he is a hero then eh?Look at the breakdown of where people are employed in the Argentine economy:
What is the main employment in Argentina?
Agriculture, forestry, and fishing: 6.0%
mining: 3.6%
manufacturing: 17.2%
construction: 5.6%
commerce and tourism: 16.9%
transport, communications, and utilities: 7.9%
government: 9.5%
business,
social and other services: 33.3%.That is a lot of people in social services or government. He is gonna slash them. I wonder how that is going to work out for the libertarian who wants to shock the people into acceptance of NO MONEY. There is no MONEY for your kids or yourself if you are old or not working for a private company full time under the rules of people who are not Leftists and Socialists. You got to shut up and realize it is a new world. Of not having jack shit. The new normal.
