Hoover Institution research fellow @DavidRHenderson responds to the criticisms of 108 economists who opposed President Javier Milei's economic proposals during Argentina's 2023 fall election. Henderson argues that, after a year in office, Milei has largely proven critics wrong.
@realpeteyb123 X is a forum. Like the Roman forum before it. A space for speeches, elections, trials, gladiatorial matches, and commerce. The beating heart of public life.
One of the most compelling 2 hours I’ve spent listening to a world leader. I had greatly misunderstood Javier Milei. His holistic perspective on economics, philosophy, society, history, and spirituality is profoundly inspiring. ❤️🇦🇷
@CommonSenseIR @ianbremmer Argentina is geopoliticaly relevant for the following reasons:

-Food production capacity (agricultural and livestock)

A Netflix binge is a temporary escape from languishing, not a cure.
Passive engagement in a fictional world doesn't offer a lasting sense of meaning, mastery, or mattering.

In Sketches from a Life George F. Kennan describes an exiled Mexican bishop officiating in Cologne cathedral in 1928 at Whitsuntide. This seems fascinating. Transatlantic Catholic connections. One for @GChamedes perhaps?
En cerca de 2 millones de vacunados en EUA, la CDC detectó 11 casos por millón de reacciones serias a las vacunas Pfizer y Moderna. Todos ocurrieron en los primeros 30 min y fueron tratados sin secuelas. Esa seguridad es mucho mayor que exponerte a virus y/o manejar en Mexico!!!
@WSJ Focus on making products & services people truly love, so that the total economic pie is bigger, instead of engaging in zero-sum/negative-sum corporate power struggles. This is the good future.
