Truckers on strike is it true

I'm too old to start my life over. Have you seen the movie "Where to invade next"? I'd highly recommend you to take a look. It will slightly ruin your blind dreams.

 

Believe as I believe or get out of my country? How's that for tolerating freedom of conscious or speech?

I'm not trying to start an argument here, but acknowledging there is a problem is the first step towards correcting the problem.

Also, I'm interested in what information you offer (opinions are not data) to back up your claim.

From the website "Business Insider":

"We’re 7th in literacy, 27th in math, 22nd in science, 49th in life expectancy, 178th in infant mortality, third in median household income, number four in labor force and number four in exports. We lead the world in only three categories. Number of incarcerated citizens per capita, number of adults who believe angels are real and defense spending..."

Pours a enormous Thermos of coffee...

I live for these kinds of converstations. Truly.

Give me some time to think this over and I'll respond a while later. I don't want to come off half ####ed and stupid.

 

Well apparently SOMETHING happened in Florida last week.

I didn't get the memo.

I didn't strike, per se, but my company keeps sending me out in B-trucks on lighter loads.
So I've used my tractor maybe 3 days in the last 6 weeks. Landlord says I can't park it at the house anymore. Yesterday my boss told me he's getting rid of my unit (aged out) and he wants me to take a newer truck. (yay?) My choice is between another Kenworth that a guy drove under a bridge (tractor's fine, trailer needs a new roof) or a Cascadia that won't start. Fun.

So as soon as I can get one of them running,,,,, well, looks like I'm still running B-trucks until sometime next week anyway.

 

we are asking as of this oast friday for all.to join us in the united states trucker strike for the abolishment of the the
elds (this does not make the industry any safer in compliance to a neglagent driver on the road)
speed limitors that have already been imposed
