Truly insidious news today. Turns out the red menace has managed to fine tune their brain damage ray so that it does not produce any brain abnormalities in its victims. Their tech is much more sophisticated than we first imagined. https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/havana-syndrome-nih-study-1.7147124 quote:Yet sophisticated MRI scans detected no significant differences in brain volume, structure or white matter — signs of injury or degeneration — when Havana syndrome patients were compared to healthy government workers with similar jobs, including some in the same embassy.

I was in Buenos Aires for about 5 days and the current state of the Argentine economy is just kind of crazy. On the way back to Uruguay I saw that they're about to start issuing 10.000 and 20.000 peso bills because 1000 is not large enough and that makes sense because paying for anything in cash requires you to walk around with a comically large wad of bills

Inflation was supposed to drop not increase. Are you sure you don't have things the other way around?

It's not like anyone in Argentina can afford to buy things so why even print new bills

lol that's crazy. It felt almost unethical to be on vacation there. I went over for some concerts and shows and pigged out at restaurants a couple times with my friend and we were briefly paralyzed when we got bills for like 15k only to see that the exchange is about 1k to 1usd

They nicely gave us just short of 200k for 200usd and we went on our way

Jose posted:I thought the bolsonaros were related to this assassination but maybe not All the people arrested are personally known to the Bolsonaros, are their political supporters. The person who nominated the police chief arrested here, and later fired a police chief who warned of the guy's connection to the militias, was Bolsonaro's vp candidate last year. It's unlikely that Bolsonaro was directly connected to the decision, but that is mostly because he is a couple of steps above in the hierarchy of the militias.

fascist movements do not check with the fascist leader at every single stage of exercising his program. it is enough that the leader’s program requires the deaths of his enemies; his followers know how to make that happen.

Yeah, and the thinnest veneer of plausible deniability also helps, so libs have an excuse to do nothing about it.

that was the original plan, but bolso had a single bowl of goulash and that dose of dietary fiber was enough to brick him up and led to some rancid farts. the embassy staff had to expel him after a few days lest the building be condemned
