He paid 5,000 pesos per kilo for meat. What cut did he buy for $4,700 per kilo? Less than 5,000 per kilo? If he indeed paid 70,000 pesos for 15 kilos of asado, the average value per kilo would be around $4,666, a completely unrealistic and non-existent figure in any current Argentine butcher shop, where classic grill cuts do not fall below $8,000 or $10,000 per kilo.

BUENOS AIRES, Feb 15 (NA)--In the fierce battlefield that is social network X (ex Twitter), a user's attempt to highlight supposed economic improvements and defend President Javier Milei's management ended in a viral blooper and a flood of taunts. 'Yesterday I spent on 15 kg of meat. Easily spent 70 lucas.' They can't even divide. (@Gonzo).
