Cristina warns Milei era will end in major crisis

[Dim Witty]

You’re right. And I would second everything you say if this was not taking place in Argentina. The universities here are independent and funded by the government through taxpayers. University education is free and it’s a top notch education. Milei had problems with universities accepting and educating foreign students completely free of charge. A nation needs doctors, engineers but why would a nation pay to provide medical school ducation to a foreigner free of charge. Now; the more students you got the more funding you can demand from the government and this is not happening anymore hence some academics (who were not even bothered to show up at the university) are unemployed now and they’re annoyed. There’s demand for them at private universities but they want public ones where nobody bothers them. But I can assure you that the universities are functioning at the moment.

A close friend is a stage actor. He is far left and supports K. He gets paid for doing nothing. Acting nowhere, producing nothing. Just an actor on a payroll. He’s not getting any dough now. And he’s furious. Because he has to work now. Be it commercials or tv. Before he was having a very leisurely life getting paid by the government because he’s an artist even though had nothing to do with art. There were a lot like him in the system. And I’m sure good ones suffering because of the abusers but that’s life.

This is way off-subject and 2-3 years after your post, but as a someone who's staged several of my plays and worked with a whole bunch of actors, I've never heard any actor being on a state payroll. As far as I know, it's simply not done. They can receive government support or funding for specific projects, but when between jobs, no way José. Do you have information that I may not know? Thanks!

Ok Jose; he’s a friend. Doing nothing and getting money from the government funds. Payroll is a metaphor. Him always getting money to do nothing ( could be in the form of funding or support ) is the reality. And now he’s completely against Milei.
