Quantitative assesment of the strike?

in «Politics & Human Rights» by moftasa

I wonder if there are any public data that can be used to assess the effects of the strike. And I wonder if this data could be analyzed statistically to see if there were any significant difference as a result of the strike.

I can only think of the stock exchange data. Either trading volume or the CASE index could be affected. But there could be lots of confounding variables and it is hard to …

I can understand the reasoning behind censoring nudity on TV. I can swallow my discomfort. I am watching the film for free. But I shriek at totally spoiling a film by removing innocent kissing scenes while leaving bloody violence. Somehow, mbc's dull censorship policy skewed films to become more violent.
