China, Brazil, Iran & India: Why are truckers striking? Rocketing inflation, declining business

Most countries worldwide are bankrupt, therefore, all nations are trying to hike taxes on petrol and diesel, hurting millions with rampant inflation in a world where all of us want everything at a lower price.

So, there is a inherent conflict which is why people are rising against their own Govts around the globe!

Just in the last 2 weeks, entire truckers in Iran, Brazil and China  have been on long strikes wreaking havoc on food supply chain, logistics of every business bringing the economies to a halt. From next week, Indian truckers are planning to go on indefinite strike.

A quote about Brazil - "But the crisis has reached far beyond diplomatic circles. The turmoil hit the streets and, by the end of last month, 99 per cent of Sao Paulo’s petrol stations had run out of petrol.

On top of that, disgruntled workers blocked highways and halted shipments, leaving an entire country almost completely stranded.

Public transport, school, garbage collection, public services and power plants had all shut down. Medicine was in short supply. Hundreds of cities declared states of emergency as fuel and food ran out, and more than 10 airports were compelled to cancel flights.

South America’s biggest city, Sao Paulo, was a ghost town; devoid of cars, people, community."

The pictures from Brazil are alarming with military on the streets, truckers stranded all over the nation. 



Even in a controlled state like China, people are rising.

  

Iran is now in it’s 3rd week in strike.



India is all ready to go on strike in a country where farmers, bankers, coal workers, port workers, insurance workers and many others are also striking….




India is the only country where the crazy 5 layer GST is being upended by the intelligent businessmen thereby making a mockery of the Indian Govt and it's draconian tax collection ways by moving backwards, and using a horse cart to do business instead of a truck!
