Title: Venezuela crisis: Goodyear staff get '10 tyre' severance
Post by: eye30 on December 11, 2018, 11:26:10

Goodyear employees in Venezuela are each to be given 10 tyres as part of their severance payment, as the US firm halts operations in the country.

Quality tyres are valuable on the black market, in a country where there is a chronic shortage of all sorts of good.

Ah see your logic to reboot 3 cars at 4 per car otherwise 2 cars and a scooter.

 But i read as rebooting 2 cars at 5 per car..
One on each corner and one in the boot.
