Most of what we theorize about endlessly here, happened in Argentina when their entire economy collapsed and froze in December of 2001.
I followed his blog for a while. Some very useful insight and info there, but also some oddly jarring videos, one being supposedly near-starving, desperate people protesting, marching through a thinly populated industrial area. Squeaky clean kids in starched, bright clothing, adults dressed well, too, no one looking the worse for wear and tear.
So, I take Ferfal with a grain of salt. What rings true I take to heart, but there’s an unreal element in there, too. Maybe the videos were produced to keep people coming back to the blog, and he derived income from hits.
