Don’t know about fudging, but apparently about 40+% of the country works gig jobs now, and their income declined by 22%(!!!) percent in early 2025. Also their GINI hit an all-time high apparently, but the data cuts off from 2023, from the world bank data at least. Honestly, who the fuck knows, but considering they lost to the peronists recently, and Bessent wants to give them a bailout, the real situation must not be too fucking rosy.
