Brazil is shutting down due to truckers strike.

[TheSpiceParticipant 2644]

This is a serious topic and one that will be interesting to see play out.

The Brazilian Real (BRL) has been losing strength vs. the United States Dollar (USD) and Gold for many years, but has accelerated recently.

This points to a weakness in the currency that will cause inflation in the prices of commodities like oil.

While I’m sure there are many other factors at play here, currency issues are exacerbating the problem.

Truckers play a critical role in the transportation of ALL goods. Without them, cities WILL die.

Just an update, not even MC Donalds is able to get its supplies, so they exchanged the proper bread with baguettes to serve their food.

The situation is just getting worse, bakeries here don’t have even flour. And not only the lack of resources are the problem, but things are getting really violent

S~~~ is about to get real.

Though, the real problem is if the strike is broken, the government of Brazil are not going to trust these truckers to haul goods like nothing happened, and driving a semi-truck takes training and experience.

They are trying to silence a huge issue just with violence.
Government suggestion was to remove all taxes from diesel and put it into gas. It wouldn’t affect truckers that much BUT it will f~~~ everyone else and those guys don’t want that to happen too.

Even if the strikes end and the situation stays the same, a lot of truckers will be moving to work with other things, since they won’t be able to get even a minimum salary from working 60 hours a week. This is how socialism makes everyone poor.

The government is trying to put the blame into the truckers for their bulls~~~, yes tuckers are f~~~ing everyone but the real problem are the taxes, and it is far bigger than just truckers on strike.

The economic tactics from the government is to tax as much as they can, and make the money that you saved worth less and less every year, so the only way that you can retire is using the public service where the MINIMUM age to retire is 65, or by giving about 11% of your paycheck every month for 35 years !! In the last case you can contribute from your 20 to 55 so you can retire “early”. This is their way to keep us being their slaves.

With no guns to fight back, we are just moving targets to the army to shoot. Whenever a leftist open their mouth to say “why you need an AR-15”, show this s~~~ show to them, even if you don’t use your gun every day/week, just the fact that a good portion of the population has a gun is enough to threat the government into don’ do s~~~ like this.

Too late, USA has already started down that path with FDR. Once you start there is no going back. The welfare state just gets bigger and bigger.

They can take it out of my cold dead hands. However, even if you have guns you can still starve to death. Food storage and self-sufficiency is just as important.

no win situation.
-illegals pouring across the boarder in the north.
-government unable and unwilling to bring strike to end.
-truckers going to be looked at as greedy idiots, once strike is over rails are going to be the big infrastructure by the government. preventing any future leverage.

If you have a gun with ammo and know how to use that gun you will never starve, unless you lack courage to survive.

Railroads are not cheap for a nation the size of Brazil. Plus, it would take decades to build that amount of railroads, and that is if those building the railroads legitimate and none union parasitic scum.

In the sort term, Brazil needs truckers and the truckers know this.

Hunting is not a reliable source of food in SHTF scenario. Much better to rely on your garden and food preservation techniques (fermentation and canning). Of course, hunting is great if you live in an area teeming with animals like I do, but I still wouldn’t count on it to get me through the winter.

Don’t worry about this happening in the states, truckers are too in debt and lazy to stand up for themselves…………………
