How's this for an idea?

Argentina's new president, Javier Milei, and his new justice minister, Patricia Bullrich, have advised Argentina's rioters they can kiss their welfare payments goodbye if they go out rioting -- starting fires, spraying graffiti, breaking windows, blocking roads, and looting.

Milei's government in Argentina 🇦🇷 announced that they will cut off welfare benefits for everyone who riots and cuts off traffic in protests.

The security minister said that police will take pictures and drones will, too.

Bullrich, a former political rival of Milei's, and an establishment conservative, has advised rioters, known as piqueteros in that country, that they'll be sending drones in to take names for those in the act of rioting, and that will be that.

Piqueteros have been a plague for decades in that country -- when I visited Buenos Aires in 2002, they were a problem even then. I recall that one of my contacts there, either Diana Mondino (who is now Milei's foreign minister), or banker Jorge Bustamante, author of "La República Corporativa," a best-seller about how fascism evolved through Peronism to wreck Argentina, explained that the state actually paid for always-leftist piqueteros to do what they do, as if they were special interest group.

According to Wikipedia (and what I heard on the streets in Buenos Aires), they aren't a popular bunch:

Piquetero organizations have also been fiercely criticized at times by many in Argentina, accusing them of being associated with organized crime and alleging unconstitutionality, in accordance with Article 14 of the Argentine Constitution, which states that citizens must be guaranteed the right to;

• "... enter, remain in, travel in and out of Argentine territory."

“Gibsmedats” or, “Dindunuffin”, from what I’ve heard.

I hate those terms. They’re childish and make the user sound like someone who can’t express themselves. Flame away.
