There seems to be a lot of indirection here. The article focuses heavily on a drop in poverty levels from 52% to 38% over the past 6 months. But when the current government took office it was around 41%. So the main thing accomplished considering error margins is reversing a major surge that seems to have been caused by the current administration itself.
I don't know a single person who is better off, perhaps people in the finance industry.
Consumption is down, sales are down, there's more people in the streets and pretty much everyone has seen their real purchasing power gone down, but specially people in the public sector (I know a lot of people in education, health and science). I'm not saying it's drastically worse but it's worse.
No, we weren't doing great before but we are definitively not doing "better" now, at least not in the day to day, perhaps in some numeric metric published by the government.

Any Argentines here who might want to comment on this? How does it feel in reality?

Milei is doing wonders for Argentina!
