The president, the person and the character
"If you go to the casino and lose money, what is the claim? It is a problem between private parties, because the state plays no role here," said the Argentine president, Javier Milei, in an interview that has ended up being more controversial for what was not convenient to say but ended up being known than for what was actually said. And one of the things he said was this, that "if you go to the casino and lose money" what are you telling me? I am only the president of Argentina. You will see that what is not in quotation marks is because I say it (and you will read it with some mockery). With these words, his, not mine, the Argentine president shook off any responsibility for having spread the benefits of a cryptocurrency of which he saw all the virtues in three minutes, and which turned out, curiously, to be a scam. In his opinion, however, the impact has been minimal, about 5,000 people, and "with a very remote probability that they are Argentines." With this clarification, Argentines and those with remote possibilities have slept much more peacefully. Especially the president, who looks like he is talking about many things but not about losing sleep. And I must admit that it is true that, seen in this way, it is not understood why so much attention is paid to a tiny fact like that of the crypto scam, taking into account the great things he has already done and those that someone like Javier Milei can achieve, who if anything has generated confidence from the beginning of his appearance on the political scene. At least, that of these 5,000 people, or the 44,000 according to the organizers (there the one who counts is the president, as here the one who counts is the urban guard), who have also seen a profitable business in speculation and easy money. For all those human beings, a round of applause.
The Argentine president is right when he says that if you gamble with money you cannot claim the loss. The problem, if it exists, because at this point it seems to have vanished, is that he proposes the game from the presidency of his country, although he tries to convince that he does it from himself, not as president but as a person. Are we facing a case like Errejón's of contradiction between "the person and the character"? Let's pay attention, because we may be entering into a political excuse of dimensions unknown until now. I would say that we are much more certain about when asteroid 2024 YR4 will fall on us than about where these people-characters can go and their ability to be one thing or another when it suits them. This is what in my time was known as have a snout that is stepped on, and now I don't dare to update it because since up the ass It's a positive expression, I've lost myself in the jargon. In any case, we understand each other. And what we understand from all this is that the Milei pattern is neither new nor will it stop repeating itself. In fact, he himself already promoted another cryptocurrency when he was a deputy in 2022, and in that case it was denounced as a pyramid scam. He himself acknowledged that he had charged for advertising. I mean that the recurrence is hardly surprising and, nevertheless, we can't stop wondering how certain people-characters can become presidents despite their background. They are like announced deaths, but here what they do is give a lot of trouble in life (you see that I haven't said anything about the ass so as not to sound old-fashioned).
In short, a megalomaniac president makes a tweet on a network of a megalomaniac magnate promoting a scam and says that the tweet was not made as a president but as a techno-optimist. What is the title of the movie?
