    Mmmm.

    Another drunk old dead-beat tramp of a failed commie in charge of something he obviously knows nothing about and certainly has NO answers or future plans to tackle.

    He blames the “low catch”! And why was the catch low? His stupid fucking mates who “work” in the industry went on strike and let the argies take the entire quota.

    The country really needs to get shot of these twats that it has in power and let the local dogs have charge until Vasquez takes over. They couldn’t fuck it up any more than these failed terrorists of the Tupamaros and we wouldn’t have to pay them out of our taxes. Their barking would make far more sense than the “I haven’t a clue Pepe” and the worlds press would flock to see the spectacle!

    Yes, I know it’s stupid, but WTF can anybody do with these cretins we have “ruling” us?

    They increase salaries year by year by a double digit number and still believe it's not enough and go on strike. Never seen a country where the workforce is so well protected and so little motivated.
    Productivity is extremely low.
    Education is as poor as ever.
    Taxes have been increases on a continuous basis in several areas.
    Energy has become very expensive.
    Who the fuck would invest 1 cent into such a fucked up system? Stay away, or leave the country if possible.
    The worst: People still believe that this is going to work for ever. How stupid must one be?
    The Uruguayans really need to be taught a lesson!

    You sir, have understood perfectly what I have been saying since the murdering president revealed his entire lack of ability in 2011 after a year of runnung on the back of Vaquez's coat-tails and looking like he might know what to do.

    Some hope.

    Lorenzo our economy minister does try to defend the country but is under pressure from the Marxists, so much so that one cabinet meeting had to be suspended when the two sides almost came to fisticuffs
    The current episode of Plunagate would be classified as high farce if it wasnt so serious
