Canadians pay half their income in taxes, wait 2 years to see a specialist, and bleed for 18 hours in an ER next to a dozen addicts looking for free drugs, and then rave about how awesome it is that they have "free healthcare".

The pinnacle of cringe is Milei larping as a rockster in a huge concert paid with state money to launch his book celebrating his 'economic miracle' while the peso implodes, the government is bankrupt, bonds are collapsing & his finance minister is in the US begging for a bailout

No es IA. No es un capítulo de Black Mirror. Es el presidente de la República Argentina en medio de una crisis ecónomica fenomenal y escándalos de narcotráfico

Milei not understanding what he was doing is more damning than him deliberately scamming. What kind of economist and president falls for such a transparent scam and solicits investment under the premise it will grow the economy?

We need to stop normalizing pump and dumps in crypto. The President of Argentina just promoted a crypto project, publicly. And a small group of insiders used that to cash out over 100 million dollars in two hours, making price collapse 97%. A classic pump and dump. The Milei

Finally someone other than me brings up the irrefutable fact that Bill Gates' manboobs disqualify him from having any say on health issues. @joerogan

Joe Rogan Goes Fully Automatic on Bill Gates Giving Public Health Advice When He Himself 'Looks Like Shit' "He's got these breasts and this gut... [He] has access to the best nutrients, an amazing trainer... You're giving out health advice and you're sick!"

Unless you've also switched your rockets and battery manufacturing to "more sustainable energy" you're going to look like a clueless big hypocrite here. The world needs sound money far more than it needs your rockets & government-subsidized electric cars.

Astonishing shitcoinery by Milei, shocking even to shitcoiners. He marketed a shitcoin to support the growth of Argentina, received millions of dollars from fans worldwide, dumped his coins, tanking the coin 95%, deleted the tweet, and now expects everyone to just move on.

Bitcoin is a better investment than Swiss hotels or restaurants or car factories because bitcoin is offering a far more valuable product to the world: a replacement for central banks. Since central banks are the absolute worst, most criminal and most destructive thing on earth,

Bitcoin consumes so much energy because it uses a fully mechanical & digital process to ascertain truth. It doesn't rely on the authority of anyone. It isn't a more energy-intensive way of doing consumer payments; it's a less energy-intensive way of achieving consensus than war.
