About 10% of Argentina’s electricity comes from nuclear power plants. But libertarian President Javier Milei wants to privatize the state-owned nuclear energy company.

So Milei appointed a 23-year-old internet libertarian activist, Ezequiel Acuña, to run the state nuclear company.

Acuña has ZERO experience in nuclear energy. He graduated high school in 2020 and started studying political science in college, but dropped out of the program. He never formally studied science, or even management.

Acuña is also being paid a starting salary that is 10 times larger than the average salary in the private sector, which he and Milei worship, as libertarians.

Acuña has never worked in nuclear energy or anything related. His only “qualification” is that he tweets libertarian propaganda in support of Milei. And the Milei regime thinks that is enough.

This is actually existing libertarianism.

    The US has Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Tweedledumb and Tweedledumber, negotiating with Iran, which, in part, includes a nuclear deal.

    Julia Varvaro, the 29-yr-old Deputy Assistant Homeland Security Secretary for Counterterrorism, solicited funds from sugar daddies, though, in fairness, she does have a PhD and has worked in security in the private sector. She just couldn’t secure her own social media activity.
