Javier Milei cảnh báo rằng mọi thứ trở nên tồi tệ hơn trước khi trở nên tốt hơn. Bây giờ người dân Argentina phải "sống chung với lũ"

Over the past two weeks, the owner of a hip wine bar in Buenos Aires saw the price of beef soar 73 percent, while the zucchini he puts in salads rose 140 percent. An Uber driver paid 60 percent more to fill her tank. And a father said he spent twice as much on diapers for his toddler than he did last month.
In Argentina, a country synonymous with galloping inflation (lạm phát phi mã), people are used to paying more for just about everything. But under the country’s new president, life is quickly becoming even more painful.
When Javier Milei was elected president on Nov. 19, the country was already suffering under the world’s third-highest rate of inflation, with prices up 160 percent from a year before.
Mr. Ormeño said he had been scouring the market (lùng sục thị trường) for his ingredients and changing suppliers (thay đổi nhà cung cấp) almost every week, either because they increase prices too much or provide poorer quality products (sản phẩm kém chất lượng hơn).
He is trying to avoid passing along too much of his price increases to customers, though he is unsure how long he can sustain that. “I see my frequent customers buying one dozen instead of two” dozen empanadas, he said.
Marisol del Valle Cardozo, who has a 3-year-old daughter, has been cutting back in a bid to make ends meet, turning to cheaper brands and going out less. “We don’t turn the air-conditioning (điều hòa) on as much,” she said. “We decreased our plans on weekends from four times a month to just once.”
Ms. Cardozo, who works for a police department (sở cảnh sát) outside Buenos Aires, said that she got a raise this year, but that it is already not enough. She also drives an Uber, but said that fare increases had not kept up with the soaring gas prices.
