Welcome to Argentina, a country where we live on a roller coaster of shifting policies, economic turmoil, and ongoing corruption. While it's clear that not all countries are alike, it's interesting to observe what emerges from this kind of system.

Argentina's people seem to have dealt with this through mass tax fraud, hiding money in crypto/cash/real assets, insubordination to law, and electing a self proclaimed anarcho-capitalist. Somehow they've managed to thrive in a lot of ways, and not only that they can deal with an arbitrarily incompetent government through self-resilience.

Americans will learn too.

It is not black or white when there is not real [power of] law enforcement.
