Hoover Institution research fellow @DavidRHenderson responds to the criticisms of 108 economists who opposed President Javier Milei's economic proposals during Argentina's 2023 fall election. Henderson argues that, after a year in office, Milei has largely proven critics wrong.

X is a forum. Like the Roman forum before it. A space for speeches, elections, trials, gladiatorial matches, and commerce. The beating heart of public life.

One of the most compelling 2 hours I’ve spent listening to a world leader. I had greatly misunderstood Javier Milei. His holistic perspective on economics, philosophy, society, history, and spirituality is profoundly inspiring. ❤️🇦🇷
Here's my conversation with Javier Milei (@JMilei), President of Argentina 🇦🇷.
I'm posting it in both English (overdubbed) & Spanish (with subtitles) here on X and everywhere else.
See comment thread for Spanish version and links. The Spanish version has me speaking Spanish 🔥

A Netflix binge is a temporary escape from languishing, not a cure.
Passive engagement in a fictional world doesn't offer a lasting sense of meaning, mastery, or mattering.
Flourishing depends on active participation in the real world: creating, connecting, and contributing.

In Sketches from a Life George F. Kennan describes an exiled Mexican bishop officiating in Cologne cathedral in 1928 at Whitsuntide. This seems fascinating. Transatlantic Catholic connections. One for @GChamedes perhaps?

En cerca de 2 millones de vacunados en EUA, la CDC detectó 11 casos por millón de reacciones serias a las vacunas Pfizer y Moderna. Todos ocurrieron en los primeros 30 min y fueron tratados sin secuelas. Esa seguridad es mucho mayor que exponerte a virus y/o manejar en Mexico!!!

If you learned this summer that there are certain things you can do without catching the coronavirus, you may have learned less than you think. There was a lot less coronavirus to catch in the summer.

The left uses the idea of "social justice" like the right uses the idea of "free speech": to put a positive name on behavior that looks a lot like bullying. Just because you claim to fight for an idea that most people agree with, doesn't give you a pass to be a hateful person.

He estado analizando los comunicados de @SSalud_mx sobre COVID-19 y la tabla de casos positivos DIARIO desde el 13 de Marzo. Me parece muy extraño que de 8 regiones de procedencia que había ayer, hoy sean más de 30. @HLGatell #COVID19mexico #COVID2019mx
