The pandemic, as you can imagine, is low down on their lists of priorities, with survival being the most urgent. It's quite heart breaking to watch.

Without a doubt, this is sad to see. But why do these guys vote for the same guys in every election every time they get the chance to vote?

Precisely my question regarding the dictatorship in Formosa. I imagine all the families are on social security, but is that a good reason to vote for for these asshats?

Pretty sure similar sad stories can be found in most first world countries never mind here. There but for the grace of God go I.

You're right that you don't have to go far anywhere to find a terrible story born of bad luck, mistreatment, circumstance, or all.
However, I don't think you find the kind of poverty you find here in most first world countries. I mean, you don't see the sort of third-world conditions you do in Argentina if you visit New Zealand, Denmark, Norway, Germany, France, Switzerland, UK, or just about anywhere else considered first world. Poverty yes, horrible conditions, sure, but not this kind of stuff. There are different ways of having no money, and I prefer the first world way over the third-world way. 40% poverty speaks for itself.

There are very few places in the first world where you would see poverty on such a vast scale. On my travels doing motorcycle courier work I ride through these shanty towns on a regular basis, with horses and other animals roaming free, sewage in the streets, no running water and house made from bits of tin and broken bricks.
Many household animals live under better conditions, but as Glasgow John said, they keep voting for the very people who keep them in these conditions.

In villas there is no running water, no paved roads, houses built of whatever material is at hand, electricity stolen from the grid. And they are nowhere near the poorest or most neglected places in Argentina. Argentina is not a third world country, but it has a large chunk of its population living in third world conditions.

Here was me thinking Kirchnerism had improved things for those unfortunates.

What I haven't still figured out is that the Ks are too dumb to realize the damage they are doing or too smart to fool half the country constantly.

The latter probably.

I'd love to know how much cash they spend on those on the ñoqui?
