New ARG banknotes will be printed with the faces of national heroes

[toongeorges]

PS I’ve not seen any normal country overhaul their bank notes as frequently as Argentina.

Argentina is also printing more bank notes than other countries.

I’d also add the list of “EVERY COUNTRY” the new Norwegian and Swiss bank notes - not a national hero printed on any of them. Progre, eh?

These are really, really cool. Very aesthetic.

Reddit argentina is having a field day with this

Didn't you know? If you don't print higher denomination bills inflation isn't real. Remember, Cristina left office with $100 pesos being the largest bill, valued at $10.18, Alberto is doing even better with $1,000 being worth $4.83. But hey, at least San Martín is on the worthless money again!

Even Pablo Rossi of LN would be proud of the foaming at the mouth fury amongst the gringos on here when it comes to all things "K".

TN...LN...Clarin...Canosa...I'd love to know who is the champion of indoctrination.

By no means all of us. Several of the most, ummm, outspoken, let us say, yes.

I am generally supportive of most of the ideals of the K flavor of Peronism. I just don't think Alberto is at all a good champion of those ideals. There is also the fact that one may agree with the ideals of a government, and at the same time disagree with the path via which that government (allegedly) attempts to implement those ideals.

And I am generally skeptical of all politics and politicians.

I think a lot of people (not suggesting you believe/do this; I do see this all the time online where militant Campora members accuse literal communists of being Macristas) misinterpret loathing/criticism/complaining about Alberto/Cristina/Ks as it automatically meaning they are JxC/Macristas/Milei fans, when at least personally nothing could be further from the truth.

There are several K policies I support, and often my criticism is driven by their insufficiency or ineptitude that exacerbates people's suffering.
No offense to the expats, pensioners, and remote workers on here, but you'll do fine with salaries and social security checks in dollars, I'm
more concerned about people like my in laws who we help out because despite working 10 hour days it's not enough to get by and I don't want
to see my nieces and nephews growing up and living in abject poverty.

I was in favor of the IFE for example, but my complaint was that it was both too little and too short (3 months of $60, talk about a giant middle
finger to workers) or I loathe Maximo K for undoing one of the good Marci policies of indexing pensions to inflation, or my constant rants about
the minimum wage being less now than in 2006, etc. I guess the best way to look at my criticism of the Ks/Peronists is similar to how I criticize
The Democrats: I expect nothing from Republicans or JxC, but Democrats/Ks pretend to care about the poor and marginalized people, yet when they have power, nothing gets better, or there is limited improvement at the margins.

All this being said, I do acknowledge that probably two thirds of the forum are right wing/economic liberals, and are either wealthy by developed country standards or at least at the top of the income pyramid here, so this skews many people's points of view; I just think it's important to remind people that political and economic beliefs are more complex than simply being pro or anti K/Peronist or JxC/Milei, even if it's minority both country wide and on here.

I'd be hesitant to endorse your analogies between AR political parties and the US ones, not least of all because here in AR they are actually alliances of parties. JxC and FdT are each alliances of several different parties, as is FiT

And within each alliance there are differing views.

Furthermore, this forum is not for discussion of US politics.

As far as your first paragraph, even back during the 1940's and 50's, the Socialists of Argentina were always anti-Peronist

Of course Argentine politics are unique, but there are still similarities between the two; I suppose my frustration and comparison is based in the fact that anytime you complain about Alberto here, Ks accuse you of being a Macrista in a way similar that any critique of Biden gets you automatically labeled a Trump supporting Republican in the US, when we the know the nuance of this is much more complex in both cases, in both countries, especially when you consider the fact of coalitions as you said.

Are the Albertistas in FdT who are pissed at the Campora Macristas now? Of course not, so I don't understand why the Ks on here and elsewhere think like this, or are simply looking to stir the pot because they can.

I think that the real reason for new bank notes is that they run out of numbers and letters from the current notes, and they need an excuse for additional massive printing of more worthless paper notes.

My vote for post most relevant to the title.
