Argentinians Firebomb Train During Rush Hour

It’s so *odd* that this kind of a story would get tossed into the “Oddly Enough” pile at Reuters - almost as though it were unimportant, a mere curiosity…

BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Furious rail commuters in Argentina set fire to a train on Thursday in anger over delays during the morning rush hour.

What’s that famous line about how at least Mussolini got the trains to run on time?

    This article is from March but may be relevant. I haven’t read anything recent about this strike/blockade situation but I’ve never heard of people setting fires to trains due to the train running slowly.

    Yeah, that’s not very logical, is it?
