here be not positive stuff

https://buenosairesherald.com/politics/thousands-of-argentine-builders-laid-off-as-milei-slashes-state-spending (May 2024)

Milei has halted most public infrastructure works, helping improve the state’s finances on paper but battering construction activity, which plunged 42% in March, according to official data. At least 50,000 construction workers lost their jobs between November and February, with industry bodies saying it could now be closer to 100,000.

So like most conservative governments, they are breaking the piggybank to make things look good while they are there, and will leave the next government with crumbling and neglected civil infrastructure to contend with.
