I always thought it was about how good were the horse's teeth, since older horses usually get dental health issues and that usually has to do with how much care it had and / or it's age.

Argentine here! Some of my favourites:
" Para andar a los pedos más vale cagarse "
Roughly translates to: "better shit yourself instead of going farting around" Worth noting: "andar a los pedos" also means being in a hurry.
" A caballo regalado no se le mira los dientes "
Roughly translates to: "Don't look at the teeth of a gifted horse", meaning you don't look for defects in things that have been handed to you.
" Siempre hay un roto para un descosido "
I think the English equivalent is "there's a lid for every pot".
" Lo atamos con alambre "
Translates to: "tie it down with wire". Usually refers to get something going even if it's barebones or a shaky fix.
I'll be thinking of more and maybe drop another comment later.
Sure I hate Peronists as much as the next guy, however you can't possibly be arguing in favour of austerity when rampant poverty is killing off your populace. Milei is a piece of shit that perpetuates impoverishment by also taking debt with IMF while cutting national industry via privatisation (none of it is bought by Argentine interests, all of them foreign).
What the hell? We are at upwards 40% poverty rate wdym austerity
I live in a country where voting is compulsory and yet we got Donald trump lite elected. Voting can be part of the solution but it can never be the only thing.
You are being willfully ignorant then
Funny, I find this in my doomscroll app. I just want out, man
