    Socialism, 100 years of it. The very thing channels like the BBC push.

    And really, the War in Ukraine? That’s a massive stretch even for the BBC.

    Biased documentary. Went to the poorest neighborhood in the country to record a documentary. Yes, 1/3 of the country is poor. No, not 1/3 of the country eats from the rubbish. Pandemic had nothing to do with it. Ukraine war has absolutely nothing to do with it. 1950's Peronismo and USA politics did this to Argentina. This is not new. By 2020, Argentina was already 70 years into this easy to predict outcome. If you're going to point a problem and blame the wrong reason ( like the pandemic ) then i guess it make sense this is called "news" because its not history nor truth. Without the pandemic, Argentina will only slow this outcome for 5 or 10 years at least, and end in what you see here. But be sure. Was the Peronismo, and the unstoppable years after years of corruption.

    Hace un siglo Argentina tenia una economia mas grande que Espana, mas grande que Francia, y desde los años 50 han ido bajando, bajando, bajando, y ahora sus ciudadanos están comiendo de los vertederos. Que barbaridad, como es posible esto en un pais tan rico , con tantos recursos naturales, con personas que nacen con una ética de trabajo tan fuerte? Verdaderamente no lo comprendo.

    We must never allow the IRRESPONSIBLE to damage the culture that has been developed through hard work, pain.

    The liberal media blames the condition on everything except the actual cause. The war in Ukraine has nothing to do with Argentina. The cause is Democrat socialism. Argentina had a very bright future until socialism. Then the liberal media convinced the people that a socialist system that took money away from the wealthy would make there lives better. This is the lie told over and over that causes so much misery. The liberal media has blood on its hands.

    I will pray for our brothers and sister in Argentina to be blessed with a better life. It's so sad to see that countries with natural resources let their people down. Since, I was a little girl I saw and witnessed USA helping the people of South American with food supplies, the problem is these countries don't distribute this good donation to the people and need. In my country of birth, I witness governments' warehouses selling this donation to the people. Shame on them. I'm so blessed to be a USA citizen and for the opportunities I have and my children. God Bless USA. Thank you for all you do for others.

    What really going on I can't really write about it because one it gets blocked, and second I will get attacked by my free speech , what will I say is that Argentinas who see them selfs as White , but are mestizo are very racist, and because of there racist believes they are being attacked by another group of people that in control, that what really happening, if you don't believe or think what another group wants you to , they attack you. That what I believe my self, if you look at these people picking trash , there mostly mestizo , non white.

    A citizen from Concordia here, the city depicted in the video. The situation shown by the journalist is heartbreakingly true (and, I tell 10:06 you, things are even worse in some areas of the country). However, she falls short when explaining the reasons behind it. Of course, nobody in their right mind will think that all these slums appeared as a result of the pandemic. Although the lockdowns did exacerbate the situation, Argentina has been undergoing a structural crisis throughout the last 4 decades at least. Though there are myriads of concurring reasons, the most prominent are the following:
    – The government spends way more money than it has. That results in inflation, which makes all of us poorer every day, and hits these families the most. However, this big government ideology is deeply entrenched in a large share of the populace, making it difficult to correct this pressing issue.
    – Our system is strongly anti business and anti merit. Our labour laws are amongst the most stringent in the whole wide world, and taxation is suffocating. Hence the difficulty companies have in creating jobs and expanding their operations, which results of course in high unemployment and poverty.
    – The government disincentives hard work and progress. Because of that weird scramble towards “equality”, throughout the last decades the educational system has lowered its standards, resulting in young people having fewer skills, which makes our economy less competitive. Besides, government agencies are always eager to hand out subsidies and other forms of economic assistance without any obligation whatsoever on the part of the receiver. Therefore, as crazy as it sounds, it is economically advantageous for many families to just get a poor quality job and receive government handouts than to get education and struggle for a better position.
    I hope my country starts to change course this year after the elections, and that the rest of the countries don’t fall for the lure of left-wing ideas because, I tell you, it’s a collision course.

    The social problem in Argentina was not caused by lockdown. The argentinian economy has been going down for decades, especially because of popular choices made by irresponsables political leaders. There is no prosperity if the government focus is only give money throught social programs. It is necessary in some way, however there is no magic or miracle. People need job oportunities to earn money and sustain their families.
    May God help Argentina !

Five years on from the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan | BBC News

Published

on



It has been five years since the Taliban retook control of Afghanistan, as western forces left, imposing their extreme, ultra-conservative interpretation of Islam on millions of people.

Their return to power brought relative peace to the country after two decades of war.

But Afghan women have been erased from public life. Girls are banned from school from the age of 12, and aren’t allowed to go to university.

Public parks are also off limits to women – and they can’t travel abroad without a male companion.
