let's all bow down to the GodsRideandrepair Thanks this. -
This line right here pisses me off.
"This is a common-sense proposal that will open enormous opportunities for the 18-21 year-old population, giving them access to a high-paying profession free of the debt burden that comes with a four-year degree"
######## ######## ########. I could do a huge rant here. But has anyone notticed whenever a goberment moron says "common sense" it usually translates to "bad idea"misterG, JoeyJunk, olddog_newtricks and 16 others Thank this. -

Yay. I just became more valuable
Rideandrepair Thanks this. -
The pieces are all starting to come together....First, allow under-21 to cross state lines. Next, increase general liability minimum to 2 million. Lawyers and politicians connected to them are going to make a killing.

Well first of all I don't know that there's that many kids under 21 that are going to line up to drive a truck not smoke pot not party not hang out with their friends not drink and be alone in the truck for days at a time.
I mean we're in a generation of snowflakes now. If the world isn't handed to them as they think it should be they cry like a baby run to the corner suck their thumb and need a counselor.
Now that's not all kids obviously but seriously how many are really going to want to drive a truck come on. And do you really think that lowering the interstate age by three years is going to solve the massive driver shortage problem? Really I mean that's pretty much stupidity.
And we know for a fact according to all these brilliant studies that they do, the kids under 21 are terrible drivers. That's why teenagers have such a high insurance rate. So how not intelligent is it to say hey I've got a brilliant idea let's put kids behind the wheel that'll help...
When the government tries to come up with ideas it's almost always the stupidity of mankind... -
The young adults willing to go through all the additional training required will actually want to drive a truck. They aren’t a burnt out adult that’s on their 7th “career”, driving a truck only because anyone can get hired at most majors. -
Rideandrepair Thanks this.
