Javier Milei is the only leader in the entire world who’s striking blows for freedom and individual rights. Argentinians just handed him a big mandate to keep on chainsawing. From Joel Bowman at joelbowman.substack.com:
A nation awakens from its collectivist hallucination…

Joel Bowman with today’s Note From the End of the World: Buenos Aires, Argentina…
Limited government… balanced budgets… free markets…
Zero-deficits… plummeting inflation… lower taxes…
Laissez-Faire… individual rights… live and let live…
Turns out these “loco” concepts… and plenty more besides… actually resonate with decent, honest, real world people.
Who’d have thunk?
As patient readers are no doubt aware, the great libertarian experiment continues apace down here at the End of the World.
Having witnessed almost two years of Javier Milei’s “Chainsaw First” economic policies, during which the self-described anarcho-capitalist slashed the putrefied state from halo to culo, Argentine voters handed his La Libertad Avanza (LLA) party a thumping mandate in the midterm elections this past weekend. (Catch up on the Peronist post-mortem in Monday’s Note.)
But wait! How ever could this be?
Knife, gun, axe, to the workers utopia.
By any means necessary works for us now.
