    The scary part is... She votes :eek:

    I know "flyover country" loves us and understands what we do. The problem is that the elites are clueless, but have the power ($$$$$) to sway public opinion.

    The scary part isn't so much that she votes, but that we have here in America this cult of celebrity in which the masses love to believe that being a celebrity makes one an expert on everything without said celebrity actually having to know anything about what they're ranting about, so some movie star leads, you have a whole lot of ############# blindly following. Which happens with a lot of other things, as well.
     
    Mev, FatDaddy, cowboy_tech and 6 others Thank this.

    Yeah, and they do it because people are conditioned to want that. We're a culture of convenience. It's much easier to gossip about something as simple as a celeb showing their ### (for the millionth time) than it is to gossip about much more complicated matters which require the actual input of thought. Therefore, it's much more convenient, and that appeals to people.

    Typical Uneducated Rant about trucking. FMCSA needs to talk to those Attorneys who actually went through truckdriving school to find out how it is before they listen to people who have no clue about trucking but since the head of that agency knows about as much as the people doing the ranting, it probably wouldn't do any good?
     
    25(2)+2 and pattyj Thank this.

    You think thats bad I had a lady ranting at me because she almost ran into me while i was going up hill in the far right lane with my flashers on. She followed me to the ta to tell me how much of an unsafe driver i am. I am just baffled by all the stupidity. She even reported me to the cops she said and that a cruiser is on the way. All the drivers in ta are laughing at her. I just walked away. I am not wasting my energy on people like that.
