  • Summary

  • The Velvet Hammer Episode 13: This week begins with the shocking news that Argentine president Milei laid off 70,000 government employees with only three days notice. As that reverberates through the country, retirees are suffering with minimum pension payments amid increasing inflation – even as Milei devalues the currency yet again. But amidst the turmoil, the country posted another fiscal & trade surplus and even went shopping for F-16 fighter jets. Are they preparing for war? Not sure, but Columbia just ejected Argentina’s diplomats from their embassy. And winter’s coming quickly while heating prices increase in reaction to the elimination of subsidies for heating gas. In US news, we cover the bridge collapse and realize there were two more this year alone. Looking to the election, we wonder who’s going to be coming to the forefront with 7 months left and polarizing ideas.

    Coming every Thursday, this is The Velvet Hammer with your hosts, Jonny, Tom, & Tadeo, three American expats recording from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Brought to you by One Eleven Entertainment.
