This is awesome second-hand info from someone's friend's daughter's lover's babysitter. A 45-minute travel delay in Central America? Strikes? This is shocking, thought-provoking stuff. Similar things are happening in Europe, but on a much larger scale. What's going on in Costa Rica is more the second cousin of all strikes, twice removed.

The beautiful thing about this forum is that people are allowed to post their opinions about travel-related issues, including things that they "heard" or stuff that people have "told" them. Unfortunately, some folks seem to never learn that directly insulting or attacking people is what gets their accounts deleted again... and again... and again. Not rocket science is putting it lightly. Plain English: criticize people's advice or info, not the people themselves. Seems kind of simple?

Maybe if some old guy who used to be on the forum 10 years ago were here, he'd be able to clear it all up... oh but wait no. Somebody said something he disagreed with and "drove him off the forum," right? Such a shame that he wasn't around to tell that lady how many panties to pack for her vacation!

After all of the borderline psychotic harassment directed at #5 over the years, it's a miracle that he hasn't done the same (not to mention all of the folks who have been repeatedly kicked off here... talk about not being able to take a hint).

I've cleaned up the thread a bit and removed/edited some personal attacks directed towards certain members.

I have also italicised the article quote in the OP's post and placed the source of the article at the bottom, in order to avoid confusion over the OP's words and the article they are quoting.

I'm not saying that anyone in here is a troll, but I would like to remind people that part of the rules involve not being a troll, as well as not feeding the trolls. If you suspect someone is trolling, simply ignore them and report their post to the moderators for further action.

I do believe, from reading the article, that the strike should be over by now. With that being said, if anyone has any current and relevant information to share about this strike, please feel free to do so.

The Protest are over. The issue is not even being reported in the media. Sunday is Labor Day and thats when the Unions always march, as they are monopolies of the govt owned enterprises, and are never happy, go figure.

In other news, Nicaragua just bought $71 million worth of Russian tanks, the hemispheres 2nd poorest country, which happens to border Costa Rica, and Costa Rica is a country with no Military, as they spend those funds, on education, thats why Costa Rica, is considered the Switzerland, in Central America. And has had a huge growth in the private sector and foreign investment.

Looks like Ortega's grip on power continues, and threats to neighbors in region will resume, after the failed land annexation along the Rio San Juan...

#10, you (enrofloxamak) state: "After all of the borderline psychotic harassment directed at #5 (moto) over the years, it's a miracle that he hasn't done the same"

and then you follow with "some folks seem to never learn that directly insulting or attacking people is what gets their accounts deleted again..."

this is all very eloquent and at first sight appears reasonable. yet on contemplation I see a possible contradiction: mrmoto (aka ticotim and maybe 10 other handles) (whom I have the utmost respect for) whom you portray as a victim has repeatedly had accounts deleted for acrimony with other members. So aren't you defending him for that which you put others down? Consequently according to your rationale I am unsure how to classify him, victim or aggressor. I'm not trying to put anybody down here, I have the utmost esteem for all parties. maybe someone can help me with this paradox.

And you, 10, have you not yourself undergone a metamorphosis yor own self? What is it with that? Have you not repeatedly had posts removed and interrupted pervectly harmonious threads to settle the score on ancient grudges? Have you not badgered, questioning their cognitive abilities and integrity for asking what you think are incompetent questions?

Cast the first stone, ye who is without sin!

It appears the strike/protest is indeed over.

So too is this thread.
