More like confirmation bias. People only remember when their prayers "solved" a situation that surely wouldn't resolve itself either way, but forget the million others where it failed.
“While sales are not our main concern at the moment, we have seen a very significant drop,” said the official.
I always find it funny when representatives of a big corporation say this.
The profit is all that matters to companies, even their reputation with the wider public only matters because it affects their ability to achieve a higher profit margin.
It feels disingenuous and manipulative to hear this.
That seems like a misrepresentation of the "left" (pretty much a useless term, but oh well).
Most of the "right" indeed believes "rich people" are essential to the economy and their abandonment of a country leads to economic collapse.
I'd argue the "left" agrees that the owners of capital play an essential role in most economies nowadays, but also believe that it doesn't have to be that way. In a capitalist economy (like most in the world), the need to appease capital owners, constantly growing, desire to accumulate capital leads to unwanted outcomes like democratic backsliding and without resistance economic power subverts democratic institutions.
I'll admit I don't know the work you mention in your comment, so I might have missed some context.
I'm not even complaining, just pointing out the obvious, even though I understand why it's the way it is.
As the other commenter said in a reply to this, people are quick to complain about a better solution just because it isn't perfect. But I'm not complaining because frankly I don't care that much.

I get the feeling, but surely there are people who work there without the education or financial cushion to take a risk on leaving.
What is your position on those people?
South/east, but there is a building right next to it that gives it some shade during the end of the day.
No trees (unfortunately). I even have a commercial laundry right next to that side that is constantly expelling very hot air around.

Argentina is becoming an increasingly interesting case study on how economic policy affects everyday life of a population.
Ah, thank you for explaining.
What did you mean by this? Care to elaborate?
I don't know much about it. All I know is GNU software is somehow important to how Linux works on the low-level layers.

Guess the mayor forgot he was supposed to find an alternative mode of transportation so customers can "hang out at the expensive boutiques".

Still only corporate platforms unfortunately.
He could livestream to multiple platforms.
Personally I'd enjoy a stream to any federated/open source platform like peertube.
What definition would you use?
Not socialist, social-democracies.
Always a bit disappointed when I'm reminded of how much Labour and Coop party's political power is interwined.
