it seems that now to see only repetitions in also becoming a problem in these lands... :idea:

See:

good pointing from that article:

En todo o en parte, una u otra hipótesis, o ambas, son una explicación probable para tratar de entender cómo se pasó, en mucho menos de lo que canta un gallo, de un país donde la percepción era que no pasaba nada a otro en el que (cierto o no, verosímil o no) parecería que puede pasar cualquier cosa.

but we have summer temperatures in may...... wow!!!!!!! :lol:

The "rural productors" gave up on the route cuts but maybe the will did their own acto next 25 de mayo in the Flag Memorial in our city ...our president is still stinging & waving ... journalist seems to be in evaluation-time... & I already have at this time of the month a lot of work & little money (among other things!!) :lol:

last night I heard between sleep & for hours car´s bocinazos: I guessed they were from stupid football fans (it seems it´s always my first thought :shock: ). But no... later I was told with other people that were waiting the bus for more than 20 minutes that all the access to downtown were cut by taxidrivers because a taxidriver were murdered in the madrugada while working.... (it´s not the first caso in the city). Sad :( but.... I had to get to work and all was a big caos and the only bus near my home that went that way simply dissapearead... so I had to walk more than 35 blocks, take two other buses and arrived work 1 and a half hour later... I was worried but the kids were fantastic playing in the patio :lol:. Since the 11 am a strike of all transporters and other gremios were declared for twelve hours..... the cell phones didn´t work...the kid´s salida from school and to reach downtown another little caos... with solutions. Now the streets are in alien-silence.
There are a lot of conspirative-theories in the air about the strike... in relation with the 25 de mayo acto of the ruralistas... "K desestabilization and so on...". I don´t know... I think that maybe we all have to "bajar un cambio" slow down a bit and try to think seriously and with responsability and at the same time don´t lose the sense of humor...

two actos for the 25th may revolution anniversary: one in Salta? (well, it was below Güemes statue) with the president & partido & gremios associated and the other in Rosario with the ruralistas and some left parties that are with the small productors. I was eating locro & empanadas with my family meanwhile...Bocinazos and lots of 4 x 4 embanderadas everywhere downtown when I returned... it was some kind of duelo at distance at tv time televisado for the whole country...

Once Again, Argentines Feeling on Edge
Strikes, Economic Worries Eating Away at Confidence

Washington Post Foreign Service


Tuesday, June 3, 2008; Page A08

BUENOS AIRES -- Today's Argentina is not gripped by crisis. It's gripped by the fear of crisis.

Several strikes by farmers, furious over government policies, have sparked concerns about lasting damage to the economy. Many Argentines have been exchanging their pesos for dollars, forcing the government to dip into its surplus to keep the currency stable. Consumers, told that their government faces a shortage of natural gas, are bracing for blackouts

It's enough to fundamentally change the character of daily life for a lot of people here, from the swankiest boardrooms to the humblest street corners.

Driving through the streets of this city, taxi driver José Luis Baldini, 60, voices a bleak notion that has become conventional wisdom for many here: Good times never seem to last.

"Argentina is like a kid who makes a really good sand castle at the beach, takes a lot of care in building it just right, then steps on it himself," Baldini said. "Things have been good recently. Now we have to put a question mark on everything."

Argentines have seen much worse than what they're seeing today. In late 2001, the economy here collapsed, plunging millions into poverty. Many here also remember social turmoil that boiled over into military coups at least once each decade from the 1930s to the 1970s. Such memories are fueling the current anxieties, which now have many people asking whether this crisis of confidence could degenerate into the real thing.

is not the first time that I realized that long-explicit-noisy-conflicts just bored me after some months... :shock: . I´ll think about it!!! :lol: . Well, yesterday the president announced that the soya retenciones móviles porcentaje (the axis of the conflict, at this point a bit surrealistic, but I know, I don´t have soya lands...) will be use to make a "fondo" fund? with health, social viviendas and country routes purposes.
