From JS: “How Does a BAD Thing Succeed?”

“As we all know, the country of Argentina is in a very, very bad economic situation, with inflation and poverty skyrocketing – and it was one of the richest countries in the world. How does that happen? Just open your eyes and you’ll figure it out.

“Now Javier Milei, the new elected leader, wants to end this downward slide and he has opposition. But what are they opposing? Success!

“Two different times in this article titled ‘Lefts Take Aim at Argentina’s New President’ in The Daily Signal, The Heritage Foundation’s Mike Gonzalez, uses the word ‘succeed’ in reference to Milei’s free-market reforms – and then says it’s a BAD thing.

From RD re this essay – “Ego, Inspiration, and Achievement” – that I wrote years ago: 

“Thank you for writing this one. It resonated with me.”
