Funny you mention Chile, considering it had a huge social uprising in 2019 that was precisely a consequence of the political and economic measures that have been left as Pinochet's legacy.
A lot of the policies we implement today won't bloom until 10, 20 years in the future. If you make education worse today; you won't notice tomorrow. You'll start noticing in a generation.
And a big part of Chile's "economic miracle" can be traced to China's development (as China is actually Chile's biggest economic partner) [1]. Chile is now a days fully trapped with an economy that does nothing but extract resources without any kind of development at all. The so called middle-income trap. And this is generating huge friction in the country. If it all goes well, I don't hope for Argentina to become more like Chile; as I believe Chile is on a downward spiral (much like most of the rest of the region). What they should be looking at are economic models similar to what's happening in Asia.
Chile is not a good example to follow.
Also, do people not know who Milei is? He's openly in favor of organ-selling and also considers the selling of children a possibility. He literally has a medium on hire that he uses to communicate with his deceased dog (whom he has cloned) and believes that his sister is the literal Messiah. This is *not* someone you would want running any country. He's clinically insane and I'm not exaggerating.
