I'll spare you the honking, but apparently the taxi blockage hasn't stopped yet. Incoming traffic is packed, with trucks blasting waves of horn in solidarity.
It's been an interesting few weeks, I tell you what! But I get it. Things have been pretty tight in many sectors. The taxi drivers are fighting changes that would make living wages more challenging going forward... even if some are necessary for other social upgrades. So much needs to be improved all at once, so that no one's left behind.
@MLClark I think this is why the powers that be are amping up divisions everywhere, to stop us from thinking about how unnecessary this way of being has become.
What a world we could have if there were more global solidarity between workers.
People in Colombia, Canada, France, the US... most of us are just aspiring to a more stable middle class existence. & fighting the same privatization woes. Gig economies in the West aren't so different from what we call "informal" economies in developing nations. Pensions are imperiled everywhere. And corruption reigns, varying only in degrees of "legality".
We have the technology.
It never needed to be this way.
