I believe in sportsmanship (or is it sportswomanship), so I do enjoy & salute any skillful move by any player even if he was on the opposing team. Accordingly, I am extremely impressed by the skills and teamwork of the ruler & government of an unnamed country. Here is a slow motion replay:- The people of that country were unhappy with their government because of the rising food prices and the extremely low wages. The workers repeatedly go on strike, and the latest strike was followed by violent demonstrations and wide arrests.
- A FaceBook group of 74,000 members calls for a new strike on the birthday of this country's president.
- Three days before his birthday and the planned strike, the president of the country declares a 30% salary increase for all government employees.
- The people celebrate and the strike finds no public support.
- The VERY NEXT DAY, the government raises taxes, fuel, & natural gas prices by 40-50%.
Bravo. Walahi 7elwa.
