For over a week the strike has been going on and now over a third of all gas stations in the country are dry. It's fucking insane. I haven't heard a peep of it in the news (other than French news) probably because they don't want any copycat strikers. It's actually nuts. If there is no petrol, it's probably second to worst than if there were no food. People can't go to work, kids ain't going to school because school buses can't fill up, and everybody is freaking out.
Today France made it temporarily illegal to fill up anything other than your vehicle at a gas station, meaning no Jerry cans or storage of any kind to be filled when at the station. One more week of this and this place will capitulate I swear it.
