After 5 years with the reins of complete power, Bukele's remaining hidden motives are inconsequential. He's been the ideal statist leader, but that probably has a lot to do with the fact his country is so tiny.

Milei strikes me as a guy who wants to be as libertarian as possible, but doesn't understand the rules & restrictions of the world he's entered... For instance, he seems to think that the FATF is something he must pander to in order to get necessary loans. He's not as experienced or as brave as Bukele is, but to be fair, Bukele didn't go in with a chainsaw and fire a large percentage of the overall government. That took guts too.

I'm going to have to chalk this fuckup up to Milei's inexperience, and hope that he changes his mind before it drives innovation away.
