BA News: BA Herald on Strike & SUGAR Shut by The Man

[syngirl]

lol maybe it's also that Nikad and I are very cynical, and when we hear that they "paid" we both probably think "greased the hands of someone" rather than paid the appropriate fine in a legal fashion. haha sorry, I think I've been here too long! :S

NO, they definitely didn't "pay" for getting caught, or they wouldn't have been closed for as long as they were.

In other news....

Apparently the BA Herald strike has hit Day 3

I use the paper occasionally for English classes. And while it's true that they basically don't have any editor AND most of their staff is ESL/EFL, it is a good teaching tool. Whether it brings up new words, phrases, phrasal verbs or it provides examples of non-native speakers making routine mistakes, it is nice to have around.

The problem with Sugar AFAIK is that they're not willing to "pay" And that they may be a victim of their own popularity, somehow I think the neighboring bars may not be quite as happy for them as they should be & prone to complaining about them.

It sucks for them, hope they get it resolved quickly.

Sound very reasonable for BsAs - competitors paying a higher coíma to have them closed than the coíma they pay for staying open.

I understood that the problem had been resolved.

I have had my business closed down by these idiots and it's really horrible to deal with them. I have reported this to every single international chamber of commerce as well as the NY Times, and Wall Street Journal. Most of this has to do with Mauricio Macri and his goons.

I heard complaints before about the Herald's staff's command of the English language...but the Spanish-language newspapers are not Borges-class either (Clarín mainly)...and they have native speakers.
