The strike would be a success if the Medina resigned and fuel prices dropped. That was the goal of the strike. Otherwise, the strike simply cost people time and money.

I cancelled a Dr. appointment downtown. Good thing, because the doctor never showed up.

I'm sure you will be a happy camper when the next time you drive up to the pump and pay less:cheeky:(don't know if you drive)....prices have been dropping for about a week now....expecting that Medina would walk away was not realistic...

Have you checked the price of Diesel lately....hasn't come down but went up.....so much for success....what do all the big transport trucks use, big busses, dump trucks, small haul trucks....all use diesel.....ask them if they are paying less.....
My thoughts not yours.....

The price of fuels is an insignificant part of my budget. But sure, every peso less I pay for anything is a good thing. As for the "strikes", for the 15 years I have been here I have not noticed that they have a significant effect on achieving their goals. Their expectations are never realistic.

Whoopie, gas goes down a buck. It's still only $2 whatever in the states and oil is tumbling lower than $50....

If you buy $150 of groceries at Woodmans you can fill your tank for $1.99 a gallon.

Where does the money go in the DR[emoji1787]
