Is it good or bad? [0:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/PIk8SfofnwSR/en/uba-student-discusses-the-economy-and-university-funding?t=4) You're killing me, because I don't watch the news. [0:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/PIk8SfofnwSR/en/uba-student-discusses-the-economy-and-university-funding?t=7) But how are you managing with this economic plan? [0:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/PIk8SfofnwSR/en/uba-student-discusses-the-economy-and-university-funding?t=9) And I was go— Honestly, I'm doing well, I just got off work. [0:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/PIk8SfofnwSR/en/uba-student-discusses-the-economy-and-university-funding?t=15) Uh, I'm from the provinces, and my parents, uh, they're supporting me, but I'm also— with some financial help from my work. [0:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/PIk8SfofnwSR/en/uba-student-discusses-the-economy-and-university-funding?t=23) Oh, okay, but your par— I'm at UBA. Oh. What do you think of education, the defunding the government is carrying out at UBA? [0:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/PIk8SfofnwSR/en/uba-student-discusses-the-economy-and-university-funding?t=32) Well, uh, honestly, I go to study, I go to class. [0:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/PIk8SfofnwSR/en/uba-student-discusses-the-economy-and-university-funding?t=36) Uh, no, I think it's pretty good. Did you know there were university protests? [0:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/PIk8SfofnwSR/en/uba-student-discusses-the-economy-and-university-funding?t=40) Yeah, yeah, I saw the candlelight one yesterday too, but I'm managing fine. [0:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/PIk8SfofnwSR/en/uba-student-discusses-the-economy-and-university-funding?t=45) Do you know why there's a protest at your university? [0:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/PIk8SfofnwSR/en/uba-student-discusses-the-economy-and-university-funding?t=48) Yeah, yeah. Why? Well, because he funds— university funding. [0:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/PIk8SfofnwSR/en/uba-student-discusses-the-economy-and-university-funding?t=54) It’s not enough. I don’t know, I’m not familiar with it. [0:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/PIk8SfofnwSR/en/uba-student-discusses-the-economy-and-university-funding?t=58) What are you studying? Cosmetology. Oh. In med school. [1:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/PIk8SfofnwSR/en/uba-student-discusses-the-economy-and-university-funding?t=63) Listen, but if your parents didn’t help you, could you support yourself? [1:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/PIk8SfofnwSR/en/uba-student-discusses-the-economy-and-university-funding?t=68) Well, I suppose I could cover the rent, but… What about everything else? [1:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/PIk8SfofnwSR/en/uba-student-discusses-the-economy-and-university-funding?t=74) Who’s “everything else”? My friends are studying too. [1:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/PIk8SfofnwSR/en/uba-student-discusses-the-economy-and-university-funding?t=78) No, you, you. What about me? Could you support yourself if your parents didn’t help you? [1:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/PIk8SfofnwSR/en/uba-student-discusses-the-economy-and-university-funding?t=82) If I worked, yes. You don’t work. Yes, I do. I just got off work. [1:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/PIk8SfofnwSR/en/uba-student-discusses-the-economy-and-university-funding?t=86) That’s why I’m asking. With your job, with what you earn, could you pay rent and food? [1:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/PIk8SfofnwSR/en/uba-student-discusses-the-economy-and-university-funding?t=90) Yes, I live with— I share with two friends also from out of town. [1:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/PIk8SfofnwSR/en/uba-student-discusses-the-economy-and-university-funding?t=93) How do your parents help you? Well, they pay part of my rent and for food and that, and I help out too, by working. [1:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/PIk8SfofnwSR/en/uba-student-discusses-the-economy-and-university-funding?t=104) Where are you from? From Tres Arroyos. Oh, how lovely, Tres Arroyos. [1:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/PIk8SfofnwSR/en/uba-student-discusses-the-economy-and-university-funding?t=108) Yeah, from the— from the countryside. The Pope's coming now. What do you think— what message will the Pope give? [1:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/PIk8SfofnwSR/en/uba-student-discusses-the-economy-and-university-funding?t=114) Or what do you hope he'll say? No, I have no idea. You're killing me. [1:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/PIk8SfofnwSR/en/uba-student-discusses-the-economy-and-university-funding?t=117) No, no, I'm not that into it either. Religion, I don't know. [2:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/PIk8SfofnwSR/en/uba-student-discusses-the-economy-and-university-funding?t=123) It's not your thing. No, no, I don't care either way. No idea. [2:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/PIk8SfofnwSR/en/uba-student-discusses-the-economy-and-university-funding?t=126) Listen, did you know some people can't make ends meet? [2:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/PIk8SfofnwSR/en/uba-student-discusses-the-economy-and-university-funding?t=129) Uh, yeah, it's always happened and I guess it'll keep happening. [2:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/PIk8SfofnwSR/en/uba-student-discusses-the-economy-and-university-funding?t=134) It's not, it's not— it's not good, but… No, it's happening more now. [2:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/PIk8SfofnwSR/en/uba-student-discusses-the-economy-and-university-funding?t=138) No, yeah, it happens, it happened, and it'll keep happening. [2:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/PIk8SfofnwSR/en/uba-student-discusses-the-economy-and-university-funding?t=140) Now, I mean, with this economy, is it happening more or less than before? [2:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/PIk8SfofnwSR/en/uba-student-discusses-the-economy-and-university-funding?t=144) Uh, I don't know, no, I have no idea, but I think it'll keep happening. [2:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/PIk8SfofnwSR/en/uba-student-discusses-the-economy-and-university-funding?t=149) Right. And, I mean, you're pretty out of touch with everything that's going on. [2:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/PIk8SfofnwSR/en/uba-student-discusses-the-economy-and-university-funding?t=153) No, no, I'm not that out of touch, but Personally, I speak for myself, and I'm fine. [2:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/PIk8SfofnwSR/en/uba-student-discusses-the-economy-and-university-funding?t=158) Sure, you're fine. Yes, I'm fine. Okay. I mean, I work and my parents pay me. [2:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/PIk8SfofnwSR/en/uba-student-discusses-the-economy-and-university-funding?t=163) Sure. Thank you very much. You're welcome.
