Toys R Us Out of Biz, any JB Hunt drivers effected?

Hydroponic marijuana farms.

 

It matters not. Toys R US has not been supplied system wide at times when suppliers simply refused to ship without cold hard cash up front. Im pretty sure JB Hunt and other carriers used other peoples freight to keep the trucks busy.

I'll not miss Toys R Us. They have been vegetative for a long time.

 

This is what happens with over leverged buy outs.

 

turn them into high priced condos..???

 

Yeah, like we don't have enough of those developments already.
Or, we could always encourage a sort of co-op, crowd-sourced, buy-out of the properties by those who are actually concerned over the lack of basic amenities apartments. Go through the process of getting the zoning changed on the property and divvy the building up into some 1-2 bedroom, cheap living for the actual, working stiffs.
The "bro-grammers" and other, riches-fueled academics already have the rental world at their fingertips. It's time to give the average worker some more options in the urban scape as well.

 

there really isn't much anymore in the way of "affordable housing", when rents are (here) as high as $2,000 per month. Boston is even higher at or about $3,000 per month.

affordable housing usually means "section 8" housing for the disabled, or homes for Vets.. what about the rest of the people that are a low income earners? even places that rent for $800 a month are out of thier reach.

rents are driving many to live in thier cars. i actually see this each morning, when i go to my local CVS store, no less than 3 cars, in the parking lot, engines running, cars jammed with personal belongings, and the people sleeping. (i get there on my way home from work at or about 5 AM daily)

we have become a country/society of the "have and have nots"...

yet tens of BILLIONS of dollars, is sent overseas DAILY, to help other countries.

 

I don't know any JB drivers from the Flanders NJ terminal but they could always transfer to Intermodal or the new Amazon account we just picked up.
