Les recuerdo que la excusa del gobierno para no aplicar el Mepco ante el alza de los combustibles fue que no querían endeudar al Estado. Dos meses después se aprueba el mayor endeudamiento del Estado en años
Increíble pero cierto: Si al aire hubiera dicho el nombre del conductor que iba a 264 km/h cometo desacato y podría ir a prisión. Pero andar a esa velocidad nada.
Si manejas Uber te quitan el auto. Pero a 264 no.
Si manejas a 160 en zona de 100 te quitan la licencia. A 264 no

New York defeats San Antonio 4-1 in the NBA Finals, capturing their third championship in franchise history!
Yo no entiendo, le hacen levantamiento del secreto bancario a los deudores del CAE y les sacan la plata directamente de las cuentas, pero se oponen al levantamiento del secreto bancario para poder perseguir el crimen.
La derecha es toda corrupta y son narcos, no hay otra.
Cuando VALVe estaba al borde de la quiebra y Gabe Newell fue a pedir ayuda para lanzar Steam, el 99% de la industria le dijo que no, que perdía el tiempo. No fueron una o dos empresas. Fueron todas. Lo cuenta el propio GabeN en el documental del 20º aniversario de Half-Life 2.
Ahora esa misma industria llora porque quieren parte del pastel que su propia incompetencia y arrogancia les impidió ver.
Excepto VALVe, nadie pensó a largo plazo. Nadie se jugó la empresa y el patrimonio personal contra una industria sin visión. Nadie apostó por tratar a sus clientes como personas.
Por eso CEOs como @TimSweeneyEpic y compañía se la pasan despidiendo gente en masa mientras buscan nuevas formas de exprimir y abusar de los jugadores, en vez de construir una comunidad de verdad.
Steam no es un monopolio. Es la recompensa por hacer las cosas bien cuando nadie más tuvo cojones.
You just spent three paragraphs explaining why a democratically elected president deserved to be tortured to death in his own palace.
Let's go point by point.
Yes, Allende won 36.2% in a three-way race.
Under Chilean constitutional law, the Congress then confirmed him, as it had done before, as the system was designed to do.
This was not a crisis of legitimacy. This was the Chilean constitution functioning exactly as written.
Salvador Allende was the legal president of Chile. Full stop.
By your logic, Abraham Lincoln, who won 39.8% in a four-way race in 1860, was also an illegitimate president.
You would never say that about Lincoln.
You would never apply this constitutional standard to any leader whose removal you weren't already convinced was justified.
The standard isn't principled. It's retrospective.
You begin with the coup and work backwards to the justification.
The "ruled by decree" claim collapses under scrutiny.
Allende used resquicios legales, existing legal statutes, to advance nationalization. The same legal tools previous governments had used.
His opposition, which controlled Congress, blocked every legislative initiative he attempted through normal channels and then accused him of bypassing normal channels when he found alternatives.
This is called obstruction. It has a name.
The Supreme Court and legislature did pass resolutions against him.
What you omit is that this opposition was being funded and coordinated by the CIA and the Nixon administration, documented in declassified U.S. government records.
ITT Corporation actively lobbied Washington to destabilize the Chilean economy.
"Make the economy scream" was Nixon's actual instruction to the CIA.
This is not disputed. This is in the documents.
The "private militia with Cuban help" is the tell.
Allende had a personal security detail. Every head of state has a security detail. The armed groups that existed in Chile existed across the political spectrum, including on the right, which was also arming itself.
And then the conclusion: "only then did the Court and the legislature ask the army to remove him."
Ask the army.
As if Pinochet needed a formal request.
As if what followed was a polite administrative transfer.
What followed was: Allende bombed in his own presidential palace.
Three thousand people murdered.
Tens of thousands tortured, including in the national soccer stadium, converted into a detention camp.
Hundreds of thousands forced into exile.
An economy handed to Milton Friedman's students to run as an experiment while political opposition was eliminated with bullets.
This is what "the army removed him" looked like, Tom.
Your entire argument is the most refined version of what was described in my original post: the word "communist" did its work on Allende, and now, fifty years later, you are still providing the retrospective justification for it, dressed in constitutional proceduralism, stripped of its consequences, cleansed of the CIA cables and the stadium and the names of the dead.
The word was a termination signal.
You are still transmitting it.
You just swapped the frequency for something that sounds like political science.
Mucha crítica al Plan de reconstrucción de Kast, pero nadie reconoce que si todo sale bien y a los empresarios millonarios les sobra mucha plata y se les conmueve el corazón, entre el 2040 y el 2050 podríamos estar igual a como estábamos en Febrero con Boric.
-La Vocera no responde como se financió un almuerzo en La Moneda.
-La Vocera no responde si el Estrecho de Magallanes es chileno.
-Dos ministros se contradicen respecto a qué harán con la gratuidad universitaria.
-Renuncian 15 SEREMIS.
-Les roban una retroexcavadora mientras hacen la zanja.
Y resulta que llegaron al gobierno diciendo que los anteriores eran principiantes e improvisadores.
You’re a Catholic telling the Pope to stay in his lane because he’s advocating for peace? At this point, many of you would probably choose Trump over Jesus himself.
It reminds me of that saying that if Jesus Christ were to return today, many modern Christians would be the very ones to crucify him again.
