We had a mail strike of over a month... teachers taking off for two months at one point... mine workers downing tools and cops killing a few... public service strikes, public protests featuring vandalism and looting and now muggings too... people dumping a tanker of human shit at the doors of the international airport. Dumping human shit on statues in public places to try make political points. What about public protection services I.e police removing parliamentary members on request of the house speaker... now get this fellas, if you bust a public official in the process of any corruption or whatever and you say anything about it, you go to jail for spilling state information and that my friends is PROTECTED. RICA laws meaning each phone is tapped and traced. FICA laws keeping track of every cent of your money and disallowing you the purchase of goods from most zones, USA, most parts of Europe, UK etc without a hugely wasteful process that even credit cards are now steuggling to get around. Here's a doozey, we as a country have not enough electricity. At the moment my area is cut off from power for the next two hours (yeah flower room too) in order to help prevent the entire power grid from collapsing. So construction workers at power plants are steiking, for weeks now already. You want to talk ransom? How does a GDP reduced to 1.5 percent sound to you fellas? If you live here, and you have debt, you are pretty fucked. Fuel price drops so new tax kinda takes care of that. Each mile on the road becoming tolled. Huge net trapping all major routes secretly planned and implemented. Fellas, you live in a great place. A day strike? Some garbage? These are minor annoyances. Try no power, no mail, no broadband internet and sixteen official languages.
