What a weird world this is. German dairy farmers feed the milk to their animals in protest and strike due to the little money they get for it. France joined in - no milk sent in here from them.
And honestly. 43 cents per litre isn´t much - and that´s not what the farmers get anyway. It´s some 27-35 cents a litre...
And it´s not only them and not only about milk, certainly.
French fisherman went into strike as well, Spain and Portugal joined in. With diesel prices that high how are you supposed to make a living? The diesel-price has risen some ridiculous 230% during the last 5 years.
Bulgaria joined in and, hey, I can´t laugh about the gas prices either.
I see the need to handle ressources thoughtful. But is it right to leave it all up to us?
Here is an article on the subject.

Oh man ... the whole gas price thing leaves me feeling sick in my stomach. We don't know what we'll do here - personally. Both of us drive to work. Karl's truck takes 125/week in gas. OUCH!!! Mine takes 70, but I can stretch that 2 weeks... by going NO WHERE except work and home.
All prices here have spiked beyond belief. It's all driven by gas. My husband is self employed and he is now charging customers who live outside of local area a "gas charge". They're paying it. We have to. It stinks!
I´m doin no more in the car, just work/home in my small Polo.
It sucks to see the politicians in their huge cars, not caring about any dispenses they have...
