Those who support WOKEISM, would've supported Nazism, Stalin and Mao's ideologies as well,
as they seek to be tolerant of different opinions, even those which are immoral.
Anyway, here's a video on Bishop Barron's philosophy on WOKEISM.
It's long, so you may want to wait to watch it.

The estimates I've seen are in the 6-7% range. For example:
Argentina Unemployment Rate
Unemployment Rate in Argentina decreased to 6.90 percent in the third quarter of 2024 from 7.60 percent in the second quarter of 2024. This page provides - Argentina Unemployment Rate - actual values, historical data, forecast, chart, statistics, economic calendar and news.
tradingeconomics.com
That said, the estimate for Q4 2024 is still a projection, so 4.1% could be within margin of error, but 40% is absolutely ludicrous.

Well he is terrifyingly dreadful but the numbers may be about different things.
This article says 160% inflation down to 25% and dropping.
50% poverty. Devalued pesos. Widespread protests. A few enriched, everyone else suffering. Unemployment 6.1 to 8% but real wages plummeted. Public hospitals overwhelmed as people lose coverage. It's all here: https://thehill.com/homenews/510576...-to-freeze-cases-on-student-debt-environment/
Briefly, he shouldn't be talking in Davos. He should be taking elementary consumer finance. I forgot to mention how much the company is in debt to China, so much so that they are in a precarious postion.

So you'd prefer Argentina continue its Socialist experiment which got it to where it is now?

The article you linked is about Trump, not Argentina. I assume you meant to link this one: https://thehill.com/opinion/5101981-argentina-economic-crisis-javier-milei/
You are confusing year-over-year inflation with month-over-month inflation. According to the article and its source, year-over-year inflation was at "160 percent" "in his first year." If you look at what was actually being measured, it was inflation when he took office in December 2023. That's bordering on a bald-faced lie from the author, because that figure measures the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in 12/2023 compared to 12/2022, but Milei was only president for a couple of weeks of that time period.
Similarly, the 25% month-over-month inflation was an outlier, and here at least the author is honest enough to clarify that the most recent month-over-month figure is under 3%.
That's to be expected when the poverty rate was already near 50% and increasing when he took office. He could have done absolutely nothing and it would still be over 50%.
If you read the article your opinion piece linked for this claim, you'd see the exchange rate had been manipulated by the socialist government since 2019 to keep the peso artificially strong. The current "devalued" rate is probably where the currency should actually be and is generally seen as a good economic move.
Pot, meet kettle.

The liberals need to live in reality.
Trump is Not that bad.
Really.
@Fantine As a Catholic, you MUST be opposed to legalized abortion, and so-called same-sex "marriage" so forth and so on.
If a couple chooses to have consensual sex and they get pregnant, that's their OWN fault.
They aren't a "victim."
Period.

Sorry. I hate abortion with all my heart. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

No number of articles is going to change the historical data I've cited. Maybe try engaging with the facts instead of reaching for another opinion piece from

Historical data? You cite no references. No statistics.
You cite your opinion and call it facts.
Your saying it's historical data doesn't make it so.
We live in a nation where our current leader states opinion and calls it fact, and 49.8% of Americans believe it.
I'm not a pushover.

Riley, I understand we look at life through different prisms.
You see a person who alleges he is pro life and every other sin, crime, and inhumane policy is forgiven and minimized.
I see the same person and his list of inhumane policies are so long, so egregiously cruel, so harmful to so many good people I love that I am so overwhelmed and repelled I cannot vote for him.
