Long distance buses on indefinite strike over a holiday weekend. The unions know exactly how to bug CFK.

Something is just about to give...soon we should see civil unrest... I just wonder when and where it will start?

About .02 a day, unless there are some spikes, could be awhile. Yankee are you in BA now? If those LT buses are striking my sister in law is not returning to Cordoba this weekend.

Nope not in BA and she's probably not getting home anytime soon. As I told someone earlier this week if you travel out side of BA leave a good amount of cushion because you may not get back in time to make your In'tl connection out.
What a mess.

His point is BK Argentina is in a consistent, downward spiral due from economic cluelessness. Again you've never answered me, how often and what is the longest you've been to your so called motherland, Argentina that you profess so much about?
