Sounds like they need a mini gun to clear the roads.
Fucking unions wanting massive payouts for their lazy employees.
Not going to happen when there is no money there to begin with.
They voted for the K's so they deserve it.

The only business in TDF was make work project funded by the Federal Gov't. Mostly putting together 5 y/o electronics and calling them Arg new.

Glad to see Macri punishing the wicked K supporters.

They have it coming and more.

Oh, how precious!

The 'shit' capital of argieland still has broken human waste pumps: you would think those on picker duty are fed up of competing with the stray dogs shitting in the street except that is how they do it anyway!

I love the irony of the K 'governor' being held hostage by the K pickets just because TMBOA stole all the money. Ha, ha, ha.
