Javier Milei has just given the exact measure of his sense of honorability of the office, by spreading the supposed benefits of a cryptocurrency three minutes after being launched by "some friends." Several investors who believed the presidential message were left collapsed. Milei has washed his hands of blame: that he is a "techno-optimist" and that it is bad luck, that it is like when you go to the casino and lose, that the responsibility of playing is yours. That the state has nothing to do with it, that it is all a matter between private parties. That he is the president of the Republic will be a matter of no importance. Well, let all the propagandists who worship the chainsaw take note: to heed the word of the president of Argentina can literally mean ruin. With hope, as he said. Long live techno-optimism.
Yes, now there are presidents who see politics in speculative terms. They are not great visionaries, rather wherever there are people they see a nuisance, and wherever there is a neighbourhood they see a holiday town with its bracelet and its daiquiris. And its casino. Health, education or the promotion of culture are an expense that must be ended. Margaret Thatcher already formulated it, that there is no such thing as society, but rather there are individuals. Social responsibility of a president? This is already outdated. Yes, we already know that the world is changing rapidly, but if all the change that awaits us is like this, we may end up going to the bar, playing cards with the musicians of the Titanic.
