Mysterious Milei and Baffling Bukele

 I have questions. 

 Sociology is very easy. "What if we let supply meet demand." "Hol' up - what if we locked up all the violent criminals." 

 Well, what if you executed them, rather than printing money to pay for food and board and guards...but never mind that. The point is it's not rocket science. Any idiot can think to do these things. 

 Nevertheless, by inspection, it's very special that Bukele and Milei did do these things. 

 It's very special that their neighbours still aren't doing these things. If el salvador can do it, why can't guatemala? Why not honduras? The answer is almost certainly: no reason. 

 It is not a coincidence that this is happening now. Indeed Bukele jumped the gun. Started early. Nevertheless, the fact there's two of them is your first clue. What exactly it's coincident with is wholly unknown.

 So what special thing did Bukele do?
 Would his strategy work in, say, England? I would guess not, but I would be very interested in being able to prove it, rather than merely guessing. Primarily because I might be wrong. How dependent was it on particular el salvadorean conditions?
 Is Bukele even really in charge, or is he a front man? He looks middle class to me. Not a leader.

 What special thing did Milei do?

 Or did they do nothing particularly special? Did they merely want it more? Could anyone have done this anytime in the last 60 years? 

 

 America is clown country because americans are clowns. Anyone serious about politics is going full sprint trying to get an interview with Bukele. And by interview I mean eight hours or ideally a whole week. Get the full story. Hire him as your campaign manager. (Or hire the deep state for which he fronts.)
 Unfortunately...everyone serious about politics already went woke...more looting more bettering... 

 The problem being that it's likely his strategy worked in part because it was secret, and he's still relying on those secrets. At least, if it's not something anyone could have done, if they really wanted to. 

 My working theory is that a higher power sponsored them for my amusement specifically. That is, I have no good theories. 

 P.S. Honduras could just say, "Hey Bukele, wanna run our country for a bit? We'd like a lower crime rate." Study Sulla and why he was encouraged to step down voluntarily, plus CEOs, then write the contract correctly. If they can't copy his policies on their own initiative, they can borrow his initiative.
