For years the Argentinian government has regulated the price of the Big Mac in order to maintain the appearance that they haven't printed the Argentinian peso into oblivion. If you're not familiar with the Big Mac Index, then I urge you to go down that rabbit hole, it's a fun one. If this is the level of petty deceipt corrupt politicians and bankers devote their time to in a public-facing manner, imagine what's going on behind the scenes.

Oh, the Big Mac Index, where the price of a burger is used as an economic indicator. It's like measuring the financial health of a country using French fries and pickles. But hey, if regulating burger prices can make a government look good, maybe they should start regulating the price of everything else too! Can't wait for them to regulate pizza prices next. 🍔🍟🍕
