If I recall correctly it was a worker's strike against the new reforms in the retirement plans and also they are planning in changing the worker's "Constitution", it was a total strike, which means that all the country has stopped, since Temer got in power last year he has been trying to approve neo-liberal economical plans, and since it's been working (Hell the senate passed it on only one day of discussing and voting), workers decided to create this massive strike, as always there was confront with the police including a kid whose head was partially destroyed in Goiania.
I live in one of the poorest areas in Brazil, located in the north region of the country, so it's clear that a lot of workers here went to the street, it was a total mess, the city got filled with violence from night to day, but once it was finished everything just came back to work, also not everybody has stopped, my mom works at a hospital, and she still had to work, so did my dad, supermarkets had no other problems working also. _________________ Top 100 Hits you must hear before the u... of beauty

What I can infer from these paragraphs to about 70% degree of certainty is that your dad is rich. The other 30% would not paint as complementary of a picture. _________________ "I feel like for the last two years there’s been sort of a sonic evolution happening and I’ve been experimenting more and more."
