'More and more hunger': Argentina's soup kitchens on brink of collapse from high inflation
  • Argentina's statistics agency on Wednesday published annual inflation of 254% as January inflation edged down to 20.6% from 25.5% a month earlier, just below forecasts of 257% and 21% according to analysts polled by Reuters.

    that part is really confusing - it's down 20.6% to 254% from 257%?

  • America's love with cars is founded on fear and selfishness
  • eh, I disagree. a personal vehicle can (generally doesnt because traffic is a thing) provide a sense of freedom. there's a certain romantic appeal to having your own vehicle and there's certainly freedom in an open road - if you ignore the fact you're roped into buying fuel and general maintenance for said vehicle. the only way I can see fear being a factor would be the "can I afford the next major expense".

    mass transit is more efficient, cant really argue against that, but it's in no way individualized or even customizable in any way at a personal level. you also have to base your entire schedule around the bus/train and then when it doesnt show up on time (or show up at all) you're basically fucked. a personal vehicle has none of those failings. as a matter of fact, in many places in America you're required to own your own vehicle because the cities are few and far between... existing without owning a vehicle is akin to being stranded on a deserted island - you're cut off from the rest of the world. most folks dont like being physically cut off from society - preventing it isnt selfishness, it's being prepared
