Well, the farmers in the north have started a 7 day strike where they are cutting off major highways and ceasing the production of soy, grain, and beef. The inetersting part, though, is that no one really seems to mind. It's headline news and yet the only reason we talked about it in class today was because the route we were taking up to Salta is has been "cortada" by the farmers. We are now flying, instead of taking the bus ride through the countryside. Apparently the delays would have been up to 40 hrs. So that's that. Just as simple as changing a bus ticket.
Take a second and think what would happen if in Washington D.C. thousands of farmers took the streets and cut off the major highways leading in and out of the city.
Gotta love Latin America.
