I’m sick and my lovely country just experienced a major trucker strike.

We didn’t get gasoline and some other products for a couple days. I have a flu and therefore am eating comfort food, Butter Chicken, Basmati rice, Ghee butter Naan and dumplings. AMA.

Are you in France or Brazil? My friend and I are going to Le Mans in a couple of weeks. The threat of rail strikes has prompted us to rent a car. Not thrilled about that.

Is public sentiment still on the truckers’ side?

Slowly starting to fade as some trucks drivers are bullying (threat of vandalizing the truck, hurting the driver) other truckers that try to leave the protest and deliver their cargo/go back home, and some trying to stop customers refueling their cars in the few gas stations that got refueled. I’d say they still have public support, since there are some truly awesome truckers (a bunch went to a hospital and donated blood, some gave gasoline to public vehicles so the city could refuel the ambulances) to balance the shitty ones (other than the bullies, a bunch is asking for the return of the military dictatorship, fuckkk those)

You can sleep in a rental car at Le Mans, you can’t sleep on a train at the track.

You have a lot more discerning appetite than I do when sick. I just spent a week eating popsicles, pound cake, and butter noodles.

That is a good choice in food. I hope you feel better soon.

Your having a shitty time of it but you’ve got good food so you’ll be right.

As Vitor said, it is slowly going against them, as most are asking for the return of a military dictatorship and being assholes about the whole thing, I’ve been against them from the start.

Discerning appetite only comes as a result of easy food delivery systems.

Not yet, but I have an interview next week at the UN.

Yeah, once you start talking about putting the gun guys in control, I’m out. Do you think it’s moving towards resolution or at a standstill?

Also, which part of Brazil are each of you in? I’ve never been, but we did host an exchange student from Sao Paulo when I was in middle school, and I’ve ogled many photos of buildings in Brasilia.

The Government has proposed a price drop in Diesel prices for the next 60 months and incremental price raises for the months following, which seems to have partially solved the situation.

I’m in São Paulo also, in the heart of the city, we got a couple of cool buildings here too.

Aw nice, represent! I do love all the modernist architecture your country has. That building is a very nice example. What is it used for?
