Brazil: More Trouble Brewing

     So Brazil.  What next?  In a political climate beset by legal issues and the hard justice meted out by the courts, a new problem has emerged to engulf just about everybody who lives in the big city centers and is dependent on transportation for just about everything.  A truckers' strike has idled all trucks and that means all deliveries of food stuffs, farmers' produce, animal feed, milk, and everything that goes with it.  The truckers' unions are protesting an increase in fuel prices which directly affect their bottom line/pay checks.
