In Greece, the truckers shut the place down by not working.
In Equador, the Police are becoming the anti-police.
Why? Because of modest proposals to limit future increases in their benefits packages. This is a sure sign of reforms long past due finally being implemented on the cusp of "too-late." It's not a coup d'etat (yet) and the President is still running the show. The military supports him, and it looks like maybe just a couple of percent of the Policemen in Ecuador need to be fired/jailed . . . but it's funny how much trouble a few hundred policemen can cause if they really want to.
For once, Yahoo!/AP seem to have got a fairly even-handed treatment and broad scope into an article. Go read the whole thing to see what it could look like here, unless we stop spending too much money on government servants while we still peacefully can.
