#TopStoryWithTomLlamas #Ecuador #Riot
🙏🏼😔
America needs to do this too!
It’s coming
There’s just to many people and not enough resources
Companies use the pandemic, transportation expenses and labor shortages as excuses to charge more than they need to in order to balance their profits. Businesses find any excuse to raise their prices, it’s a protocol that just about everyone follows. It’s called corporate greed.
Thanks Russia
Riot of $2 gas…. I’m paying $7
Get rid of the Billionaires and all the world’s problems would be solved.
Amazing how they acknowledge the looters are a seperate group.
Meanwhile in the US…
GOOD I LOVE WHEN PEOPLE GO AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT.. CAUSE. THEY STEAL FROM THE POOR. EVERYTHING GOS UP. ACCEPT THE SALARY. THEY KEEP YOU POOR. SO I DON’T CARE ABOUT GANDHI.. CAUSE THE GOVERNMENT DONT CARE. THEY ONLY ONE THA CARES IS JESUS CRIST.. NOT THEY GOVERNMENT

What a stupid president. People are suffering and he accuses them rather than explain what programs he has to address the problem
Don’t worry American! You too can go this low. For the small price of your soul and listening to these media hacks
The European should do the same thing… with corrupted leaders..
I’m surprised this hasn’t happen In California.
It wouldn’t be summer without a violent riot
Amerikkka’s next!!
Gotta be bidens fault for high prices in Ecuador
We pay 7 dollars a gallon in one part of northern California. It doesn’t make much sense to me, how it jumped so much so quickly.
1st 2 weeks after Biden took office
Gas ⛽️ prices in Southern California were up an entire dollar 💵
Last April I bought a brand new car 🚗
Gas was $4/gallon
Today a year later…
Los Angeles County Gas is at $6.49/gallon
Your Esau you’ll manage
The US government want has money from gas prices high
Yeah, a coo coo government.
Good for the president God bless him
Blocking roads and damaging property isn’t the answer. I don’t understand why the police or military weren’t called in to block the protester caravans from coming into Quito. The protesters are only causing more inflation as goods and services can’t freely move within the country. This “paro” seems more like a revolutionary movement with the indigenous leader,Iza, demanding so many things. The demands they are asking for will only increase taxes as the government can’t give away everything for free. In addition, the government can’t control the price of everything especially gasoline. I was thinking of retiring to Ecuador but now I am having second thoughts.
All the politicians seem to catch covid when negotiations must be made.. and they don’t get better until there’s chaos in the streets. Trudeau must’ve caught covid 10 times already lol
Yep, I’ve read books about what’s going on. I hope you guys know how to survive off the land bc it’s coming.
*This is exactly why we need a border wall.*
This is what they want for the US
world war 2
The end time is near
Collapse of the US dollar 🙂
New world tactic by country leaders… I the people disagree with the government call it a riot and then a coop.
This is now a possibility in any country.
If gas companies don’t lower prices, this is what’s going to happen.
Don’t be surprised if this becomes America in a few months…😔
Pretty much. The elite class are super out of touch with the struggles of the working class. The housing crisis across the nation is one thing, but then with food, gas, energy and everything else also up people cannot keep up with the inflation. The market needs to crash and we need to reset prices of things. I’d rather not make more money and have the value of the dollar be worth more, than constantly be worried I’m not making enough money to cover the cost of living.
This is what terrifies the dems! America is on course for this with Democrats in charge. Now imagine all those protesters with AR15s. This is why they what to disarm America!
Thanks Jay Powell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why do you think the Supreme Court just reaffirmed our right to arm ourselves? They know what’s coming just like all conservatives know, civil war!
The overturning of Roe, The dems move to liberal states and die and the republicans stay in red states and survive. That’s the way Roe being overturned will be played out! It’s basically seperating conservatives and liberals!
But, but , we’re supposed to be buying teslas, and shop at Whole Foods…..
At least they are fighting for something worth fighting for! Here we have people fighting for the stupidest things. Don’t waist your energy and time fighting for things that can be fought tomorrow.
Just wait until it really affects America. We haven’t had it as bad as those other countries. But once belly’s start experiencing hunger pain, you bet you’ll see the untest.
They should just pay up since everyone else in usa is paying it without the drama. They should just do some tiktok videos for extra cash
It is not an attempted coup. They are expressing their frustration over raising prices
ម៉េចទៅអាអ្នកខ្លាំងគ្មានពីរលើលោក! ឯងខ្លាំងមែនតែពលរដ្ឌរបស់ឯងទ្រាំធ្វើខ្លាំងដូចឯងបានទេ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣ដល់កហើយពេលនេះ!
When food prices,petroleum and income goes extremely up the country collapses.
We would have the same gathering in the US over 2.10 a gallon but it would be a celebration
This need to happen in every country
World War is coming…
Looks like a lot of them will be joining a cartel group real soon to make money.
The REPUBLICANS are going to make certain that this is our reality. They’re the ones responsible for our inflation and the gas gouging too. Follow the MONEY folks! It ALWAYS leads back to the REPUBLICANS 🤨
Ecuatorianos have balls.. next to take down this corrupted banker president.
This coward Guillermo Lasso happen to contract Covid 19 in the middle of a negotiation with indigenous ecuadorians. 🧐 it must be a common excuse nowadays because Justin Trudeau PM of Canada also said he got COVID 19 test during the trucker protest. Wow these politicians need to get head chopped off and paraded in the streets…
The Democratic policies are working and helping people across the world
Price controls are almost always a bad idea. The market will respond in a negative manner
Insane
Police = Politicians’ dogs
That’s what all these vegans and pronouns don’t have the balls to do keep worrying about what you identify while the government and companies strip you naked
All that turned out all so well in Venezuela. Good luck going down that road equator.
Biden Gas Hikes are causing unrest in Ecuador, Nepal & others. These are just some of the DEVASTATING effects of Biden WAR on Fossil Fuels & Democrats caused Inflation. & the saddest part is Democrats don’t care at ALL
It’s very sad but I’ll go back to a Ecuador this week. I wanted to help my family cus everything raise too high. Pray for Ecuador 🥺!! I know people doesn’t like Lasso cus he need to understand that us Ecuadorians doesn’t have any MONEY to buy food n gas n others like Lasso 😒.
So sad, I will pray for your family and all the others. I have a friend that immigrated from there and I’m sure she will be praying too 🙏😢
The countries of North, Central, Caribbean and South America are corrupt governments including the United States,Ecuador ,and Cuba
Thanks Paul, the Indians are all of them ignorant and correistas. Much love ❤️ to all.
In door green houses
For your food problem and and maybe do something about your water and fishery pollution start a new market sell mince foods sell hot dogs 🌭 or something throw a bunch hippies from California over to fix your eco problem because I bet it’s pretty simple
I support the uprising. Government officials everywhere are corrupt. We MUST rise up!!
here in America we protest for abortion rights, blm but we are very greatful for our current economic climate, great gas prices, affordable real estate, 0 inflation , it’s amazing
All of this is biblical. The world as we know it is coming to a close. And power will be handed over to the righteous people not the wicked! Our heavenly father is rendering judgment on this Earth for all the crimes that was committed against his children of Israel whose ancestors were brought over here to the states on slave ships. And now it’s time for those who had anything and everything to do with that captivity to be punished. They will get double the cup of what they gave to the children of Israel the so-called blacks Latinos and native American Indians!
Gas prices are high but not compared to those in the western terrorist democracies. Higher oil prices should help Ecuador pay off its debts.
This world is finished we won’t make it to the end of the year! To many evil people in high places!
Hey looks like us in 6 months
You start taking food and water away from people which is very possible in the US , that will be the end
This is the end result of socialism
If you haven’t lived in Ecuador you have no idea about the balance of power between government and indigenous peoples. This is not the first stand the indigenous have taken. I was there during one. The balance is good and helps control government corruption. The indigenous are in a lot of cases earning $10 a week but it’s one of the cleanest countries I know of. Of course the council of indigenous peoples try to sustain a peaceful protest and strike but in any group you’ll have hot tempers. They’re standing up for their hard won freedoms as we should be doing. They don’t get food stamps welfare etc. and there is no social security so I applaud their strength of conviction.
no
Go after the rich and the politicians
this is what the US needs to be doing but no, sadly, they just pay it and keep going while saying, itll get better….lol!!!!
Thanks amerikkka
Covid the crutch of political criminals
Coming to the USA still
Look at this guy’s thing are going crazy around the world..usa 🇺🇸 see u guys
Get Lasso out of office immediately
saca a Lasso de la oficina inmediatamente
Esto es donde quiera Estados Unidos tambien TODO caro. Y la excusa es la maldita guerra de Russia SMH
It’s a coup alright, against capitalism. Oil refinery production for the people of Ecuador should be a priority, second only to food production for domestic consumption.
Pay attention Americs, this is Joe Biden’s future for you
We need this in the US
Signs of the times, buckle up people.
You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet! American social unrest will make Ecuador look like Romper Room.
Why are all the “leaders” there white dudes?
Coming to America very soon…by August 2022.
America soon.
Biden needs to stop shipping fuel to china. And priotize americas and Europe. This is insane for real
That is going to be this country in a couple months
That will be this country in a couple months
Buenos Knockers
I bet O bummer sitting in his basement and smiling right now. Just like he wanted.
Oh boy with Joe Biden this is our future 😑
Ecuador has an oil company. gas should be cheap.
Yes
People are FED UP
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
