Cooking Up A Storm
Cooking Up A Storm: Argentina's Recipe for Disaster In the sprawling kitchen of South America, one cannot help but marvel at the vast array of ingredients at Argentina's disposal. This grandiose country, nestled between the Andes and the Atlantic, boasts fertile lands, glistening waters, and a cultural tapestry as rich as a creamy béchamel sauce. Yet, beneath the culinary façade, a tempest is brewing. The once-flourishing nation is now mired in a quagmire of bankrupt politics and currency crises. To understand this dramatic decline, one might find solace in the works of Suetonius and the fall of Ancient Rome - a deliciously ironic parallel to Argentina's current predicament.

When pressed further, though, there is no clear consensus on what the ideal age to be president should be.

If not Biden, Who Will Democrats Nominate?
What if the Democratic Party were to pursue a volte-face on their candidate and choose a younger candidate? Admittedly, the circumstances that would have to occur for this to happen are legion and the path byzantine.
