In a move that I can only describe as both disturbing and shameful, the government is introducing new peso bills with heroes as the theme, mainly female. These will replace the animal themes introduced by Macri some years ago and often described as 'animalitos', a sarcastic euphemism.
The $1000 note is now worth less than US$5, so the economy needs a $5000 bill, but no, that would only be admitting that a problem exists.
At a time when inflation is approaching 60%, the Argentine peso being worth less than actual toilet paper and sold as souvenirs for mere cents on the streets of some European cities, one has to suspend disbelief at this news.
Some weeks ago, the puppet president announced that the war on inflation would begin the following Friday. He did nothing, nada. The truth is that, he is so busy mud-wrestling with the real president of this country that he's completely lost the plot and this move is simply another intentional distraction from this country's real and insoluble problems.
If only I were president...
