Argentina is Cooked
[Early Access]
Hello Patrons,
Argentina is next on the list of countries we're looking at from a contemporary/ historical perspective to see how they ended up the way they are.
We've still got plenty of Australia focused content coming out on Youtube and other platforms, both long and short, but we have noticed the a lot of the recent scripted, highly edited content has been international focused. Because edited content is the stuff we like to give patrons early we wanted to reassure all of you that we've got plenty of juicy investigative Australian stories in the works, one of which might be one of our biggest videos ever. Expect a vid on NSW police within the next week too.

Hahahaha...... Now do Greece
*insert image of a clippy pfp because I am too much of a lazy cunt to bother changing my profile* "Oh ma god, Awfuly silent on X Topic you already made a video on" As always, sick content. I do look forward to seeing the videos you've got in your backlog & the occasional smackdown on your critics in both new & old media. P.S. You should have released this on sep 19th to catch in on the Chilean Independence Day celebrations. Dad would have enjoyed shitting on his most hated geographical neighbour.
Javier understood you can't do anything without a mandate. It was the right rhetoric, the wrong implementation. Lets not forget he was, at least, elected.
Thanks for this video Jordie it was interesting and showed the path Australia could go down if we are not careful to uphold our institutions and system of government. I wonder if focus on printing money rather than having an independent institution fixing interest rates has been part of the problem. I haven’t really looked at this in Argentina. One thing i did hear is they tried to fix prices of staple products in Argentinian supermarkets to combat inflation. Supermarkets would get multiple brands so they could raise prices of the brands that didnt have the fixed price. The government had an office set up where people could dob in supermarkets that raised prices above the authorised prices. There was still inflation due to the substitute brands. The solution wasn’t that successful. I wouldn’t mind trialing it in Australia anyway, it would be great to be able to dob in Coles and Woolies when they raise prices, I think Australians would be keen on that and it might just boost morale and faith in the system We have double digit relative poverty in Australia, apparently about 5 million Australians live in poverty which is about 16%
you missed an important source: Australia and Argentina: On Parallel Paths Tim Duncan, John Fogarty Simon and Schuster, 1 July 1986
I watched this with my Argentinian girlfriend, she hated and liked it at the same time
jordies i love you, but you need to learn the difference between prosecuted and persecuted
Craaazy timing for this to come out the day after I landed in Buenos Aires!
Please cast an eye on Bolivia soon. Loved the idea of it since reading The Hardy Boys. I mean, Lake Titicaca!
Dont cry for meeee Argentiinnaaaa…. si señorita we no cry we just want pesos for work por favor, si si Peron is God. This was good learned lots 👍
Messi or Maradona? The people must know!
Messi, at least he didn't cheat to win
Will be great to see bad empanadas response. Why would you go there if you were in Australia? I guess he makes enough money from streaming to afford the PC though.
You could live way more comfortably in Argentina with a foreign income, no idea how much he's making from streaming but it would go a lot further than it would in Oz.
Excuse me, I'm sorry. There's all ready a well known Argentinan meme on this channel and you didn't even give it a red hot go ⛓️🪚 RRRRRRRRRRRRRRAIRR!!
As a Uruguayan I love this
