Ah, the greedflation theory. Its really strange how big companies are only super greedy and raise prices in countries that have expansionary monetary policies, but then those same companies are generous and don't raise prices when the monetary policy is not as expansionary.

Seriously though, lets pretend you are right, and not retarded, and that you need government regulation to keep companies from recklessly raising prices. Obviously then, the government bureaucrats Argentina previously had must have been really bad at their jobs then, and should be fired anyways. If Milei's plans don't work out you should thank him for firing the incompetent ones so that a future admin could hire better ones.

This is just a slightly more complicated version of wage freezes, that plenty of countries have tried in the past to control inflation. Key word - tried. It simply does not work. It just encourages companies to find loopholes around the rules to get the workers they need (i.e. the whole employer based health insurance system in the US started as a way around WWII era wage controls), along with encouraging more payments under the table.

The only actual fix for inflation is for the government & banking system to stop creating as much new money. Frankly, it would be better to remove money creating power from them entirely.

He is probably making fun of the economically illiterate retards who think inflation is caused by corporations being extra greedy, rather than its true cause, government mismanagement of the money supply.

You see, sometimes companies are all generous, and hold prices steady, and sometimes they get really greedy and all raise prices at the same time causing inflation. This is what really causes rising prices, you should ignore stuff like oil embargoes or loose monetary policy, or excessive government spending.

Please note that the above is sarcasm, but sadly some people do actually think like that.
