Nope, we didn't do that. Well, we did, but it wasn't something sporadic or done by regular people. It was done by political organizations to make the government look bad.

The sad thing is that it's not the first time it happened. These fucksticks infiltrate the stations and crowd and make themselves look as spontaneous acts of dissent. But it's all calculated.

Also, you are only 2 days late with the news.

I know, I read this 2 days ago on the paper but was too busy with the election stuff. They had the same picture on the paper, just stroke me as kind of funny.

So what about the non-protesters, were they all visibly angry because they were going to be even later to work/home?

The city is a mess. there are like 15 million people and all the transportation systems are completely collapsed. And the amount of cars in the city make NY traffic look like a cakewalk in comparison.

That's unbelievable. I can't even imagine how much of a bitch this must make the morning commute. It makes Westside traffic a complete cakewalk.

Well, it can't be worse than the traffic situation in Mumbai. Talk about congestion, it is actually good in a way that not everybody can afford a car because the roads are not ready for it.

I've gone on regular cars, motorcycles and rickshaws but I haven't tried their trains yet. You can see people holding on to the door, one little slip-up and they become ketchup.

That happens here too. People fight to get onto the trains. They travel hanging, on the rooftops, anywhere they can.

I heard it was the exact opposite over in Chile where there were so many bus companies. Drivers would get into car crashes fighting for customers.

And then there were the fuckups with their rail systems.

I can understand the issues and grievances as to why these types of groups come together and understand. What I don't understand is how in the hell is supposed to rally people to their cause? This is just straight up asshole hooliganism.

They should have gotten on the trains and then set them on fire.

No, you guys don't understand. It's not to rally people towards their cause.

It's to make the government look bad and destabilize it. Get the people against it.
And then cream them in future elections. They know the Administration had a rough year with the farming business.

Same thing happened in 2001. Very bad economic year, a couple of very serious and random acts of violence (also staged by the opposing party) and they overthrew the government.

Nono, we get it, but it's still completely fucked.
