Greetings from Argentina you freedom-loving Nostriches.

Javier Milei's Ley de Omnibus was passed in the Congress's lower house with a 56% majority vote, with two supposedly two pro-Libertarian deputies curiously voting in favor of keeping around the bureaucratic rat's nest created by the Kirchnerista administrations. There will most likely be repurcussions to that from their voters. One has to wonder if extortion is in the mix.

In further anti-corruption news, food stamp benefits will no longer be disbursed to various corrupt entities previously in charge of further distribution of funds. Rather, the Milei administration has proposed distributing funds directly to soup kitchens around the country, eliminating unnecessary middlemen and potential for squandered funds.

On a personal note, my Dad's best friend's church ran a soup kitchen here for more than a decade and it's incredible to see how far funds can go here. I met so many good people who simply were victims of corrupt collectivist economic policy for the past 60 years. Would be fascinating to see how much further funds could go with NGOs operating on a Bitcoin standard. Fix the money fix the world, right?

We are still so damn early.

This week debate in the upper house of Congress begins in earnest and most likely will take a bit longer, but there is a strong tailwind that will hopefully encourage expediency bc the economy is FUBAR until we rip apart this bureaucratic nightmare created by corrupt collectivist mafiosos.

To put things in perspective, statistics reveal that the average Argentinian entrepreneur has to spend 90 business hours a year simply taking care of fool's errands created by the previous administration. That equates to roughly 3 weeks a year of just running around like a chicken with its head cut off to simply remain compliant. We're the world champs at bureaucracy as well as fútbol. DALE CAMPEON!

I spent FIVE YEARS running around nearly every single federal/provincial office here in Córdoba attempting to set a legal precedent with my dual citizenship (my father left Argentina in '69 and didn't show up in the current system). I left no stone unturned. I'd walk into certain offices and the employees would greet me and share mate with me, lol. Upon achieving success with my case I quite literally HAD FEDERAL EMPLOYEES ASKING ME HOW I CUT THROUGH THE RED TAPE. Shit you not. Anyways...maybe a story for another time; that's the tip of the iceberg.

OK, quick little Sunday dispatch. We'll chat a bit about the situation with the upper house debates and the ridiculousness that will inevitably ensue. Until then, stack sats and tell your family you love them.
