Nope. But this is what the opposition thinks will keep away investors and Milei's government from accomplishing what those who voted for him want. They are wrong, of course, but they will keep trying.

This is pretty frustrating for people who have to go out to work every day, take public transportation, etc. It's causing a general sense of unease. Hopefully, things calm down because at this rate, we're going to end up in a bad place.

This Thursday, October 31, there will be a transportation strike as they demand better wages. I’m sharing the list of bus lines that will participate in the strike; it might be of interest or helpful to someone.

Just to keep you informed, due to the transportation strike, there will be no garbage collection in Buenos Aires tonight.

Saw these locals from cancelled flights. Damn. Flights get canceled here all the time. If people acted like this they would probably get arrested.

Argentines take soccer seriously. The flight was canceled and they were going to miss a match.

The streets are a mess, today, the subways and trains aren’t running, flights are grounded, and there’s no garbage collection. As if that weren’t enough, tomorrow there will be no buses either. It feels like a story that just keeps repeating itself.
Today I was around the Obelisk area and saw some protests, so all that’s left is to be patient.

Rige el paro de 24 horas del transporte, sin la adhesión de los colectivos y con piquetes que aportarán tensión en la calle

La protesta afecta a los trenes, aviones, subtes, camiones y barcos, mientras los movimientos sociales harán 500 cortes de calles y ollas populares en todo el país. El Gobierno advirtió que garantizará la libertad de trabajo. Hay huelga de docentes y universitarios

Isn't it ironic that the union leaders organizing these strikes and protests, like the Moyanos, live in gated communities and pay rents of $5,500? It really contradicts the populist image they try to project, haha!

They boast about representing those who have less and the workers, but that's not true! A day like today, they only harm them with a strike that is purely political.

I haven’t heard anyone say they feel represented by these union leaders, who only harm the workers. Even the subway drivers wanted to work but weren’t allowed to. It’s honestly outrageous; as mentioned earlier, this strike is purely political and has nothing to do with protecting the most vulnerable.

In the meantime, the Moyano activists are making what they call here "Un alto guiso"

When Moyano is called out for being wealthy, he doesn’t know where to hide or what to say. These union leaders are the ones driving this country into poverty.

I can’t believe the massive cost of tomorrow’s strike, 500 million dollars. With fewer people moving around, there’ll be lower sales, less activity, and fewer workers able to get to their jobs, which means less productivity overall.

These union leaders, who supposedly represent the workers, also own a luxury yacht and a lavish home in a gated community. Instead of obstructing Milei's government, they should remain silent.

These union leaders are despicable; they preach what they don’t practice. I heard today’s strike was called off, so that’s good news for the workers.
