When I was in Buenos Aires I was struck by the poverty. There was a begger who couldn't stand - no legs or something as I recall - and there he was in the middle of the affluent shopping street (Florida St as I recall). A pitiful sight - along with the slums on the outskirts of the city. They don't seem to have much of a safety net.

I loved Argentina and read recently at one time during the last century they were more prosperous than the US - that is before the socialists took over. However, there is socialism in Holland and the Scandinavian countries and for whatever reasons they seem able to handle it. Maybe because the people stayed industrious.

Wonder if we'll ever recover from our socialist POTUS?

You have to remember that socialists in Argentina are like the ones in this country, they HATE freedom and capitalism and want to stamp it out. Sure in some places they might have realized that they need capitalism to fund their socialism, but its rare

The Americans and this wave of immigrants who came to be free, work and be sucessful (middle class) will decide the future of America.

Do they want to build a ghetto of “free stuff”, violent race tribes, barely surviving, enslaved and oppressed; bringing the whole nation down with them or do they want to do what the American-Americans did before them and be independent and free?

We’ll see. We should not even have to worry about it with the constitutional Republic and it’s individual rights construction, but with banksters, globalism, and the domestic terror war, the constitutional rule of law is pretty much dead now. American politicans are beginning to resemble the kind of corrupt people who rule in Africa and South America.

We should have a slogan in Spanish: “If it starts to look and feel like home in America, we’re doing something wrong!” ; )

Its culture and a lack of a racially different underclass in Scandinavia

Let them keep importing African server class and see where that leads
