Even if he amassed the dollars to accomplish ‘dollarization,’ couldn’t that potentially kill the dollar? Would it even be legal? I know some Caribbean and Central American countries have done it, but Argentina?

I’d lived in BA for a total of 4 years. Most of my friends there are similarly retirement aged. Living off $400 a month. Contemporaries. I can’t imagine what it must be like for the less fortunate. Guess I have to hope that Milei has some success.
