  • I don’t get it. Ok, so you are willing to do away with safety, legality and basic human decency to attract capitals to your country. Fair enough.

    But then why not drugs? Drugs are almost as addictive as AI and create less damage to the environment. But above all, unlike AI, drugs are very profitable, even if they face a harsh regulatory environment.

    Give it some thought, Milei. True, you like theatrics and the Sinaloa cartel are not as cartoonishly evil as Thiel (they are probably more standard business-like evil) but I’m sure you can work out some effective PR stunt with them too.















  • Nothing, and I’m sorry if my remarks may have sounded offensive to people in the US. It’s just weird from a European perspective, where an approval between 30 and 40% would make most of our governments very happy.

    A while back, I’ve read an article on the Obama-Keyes race for the Illinois senate race, saying that 25-ish% is the lowest approval rate you can ever get in the US based on the fact that Keyes (who lost in a landslide but still got about 25% of the votes against Obama) was:

    a. black (so racism wasn’t a factor)

    b. not from Illinois (so that wasn’t a factor either)

    c. by all accounts, very unlikable and a complete lunatic

    Sorry the piece I was referring to was much deeper but I can’t find it again, now… If they are right, this IS basically already rock bottom for Trump in terms of approval.
