“This idea of wealth taxes on the super-rich has a clear connotation of envy,” Milei told Neura. “We consider taxes to be theft.”

It has been a prime destination for nazis for a long time. I guess they have a friendly government now.

#15I wonder why he thinks Milei is going to bring continued change over time? Argentina's economy has been a mess as long as I can remember, decades and decades. Why is Milei so different that's he's willing to move there? He must really see a change he can exploit.

#16Interesting. I could speculate as to why, but has he said anything besides the anti-christ thing? That thing wasn't illuminative in any way. So is it:
* fear of new wealth taxes in the US styled in the California way
* fear of being shot like UHC CEO
* legal retaliation from a new adminstration
Perhaps a little of each but what weighting? And what else? Personally, I'm definitely working to ensure my wife and children have OCI status and their Taiwanese citizenship locked in so that we have escape hatches.

#17It's pretty funny that he's fleeing the US for fear of instability and rising anti-oligarch sentiment to Argentina . As though their collapsing society will treat him much better when the shit hits the fan.
He can fly out when it bounces off the fan but well before it splashes on him.

#18Well, rather him and family go to Argentina, than come to New Zealand, where he's got his citizenship for doing... nothing.

#19Why is this being flagged? It’s the FT, it’s factual, and we can deal with misconduct by flagging the individual comments.

Argentina is, indeed, quite puzzling. They shouldn’t be a mess, and they should vote better, but, yet, they never get to have a stable period of progress.
