  1. 3:02 interesting how argentina apparently has the world's meatiest soup kitchens because it produces so much cheap beef. poor people from most other countries would be very confused by that stew being served as free food for the poor. many are lucky if they get decent amounts of legumes and fats with their grain.

  4.  @TresMar-n1u  no, free food for the poor is made of the cheapest kinds of ingredients in all countries including ones richer than argentina. the reason is that practically everywhere, such programs are ao limited in their financing that they struggle to even serve enough food. upgrading to more expensive ingredients would only happen after the program is sufficiently funded to feed everybody as often as they're willing to come. argentina is one of relatively few countries (I think australia and new zealand still partially are like that, parts of brazil are much like argentina, and parts of the US used to be more so than today) where a large portion of food calories are produced not in the form of food crops or animala raised on locally harvested or imported feed, but instead in the form of grass-fed livestock on huge ranches. it requires a lot of land in a reasonably moist and preferably temperate climate (in south america mostly land that has been deforested more or less for this purpose in the 20th and 21st century) and is not a terribly productive land use, so it tends tobe reserved for land where the soil is lacking in fertility (tropical and subtropical soils mostly are, except for volcanic soil, as what has built deep humous layers elaewhere in temperate regions is the seasonal glut of dead vegetation in the fall that then does not get broken down as completely). the status of meat as expensive food alao ismuch weaker in rich countries using efficient factory farming methods than it is in poorcountries where much of the meat is produced on amall farms. but you're still hardly ever going to see food that meaty in a soup kitchen outside of a ranching country. I'm still a little surprised to see it in argentina, but I guess in part it also is a matter of argentinian culture probably being very big on meat (beef), much like how texans and other US southerners are about barbecue and steak.

  5. of coursehe's going to cut help for the poor. he wnts to abolish all government services, that's what anarcho-capitalism means. it's economic social darwinism, everybody gets to do whatever they areable to do given their preexisting means, and nobody gets any help. it makes every rich man a king and every poor man a serf. it is the last political ideology that should ever be able to win an election, as it benefits the few at extreme expense to the many.
