    I would say its still an essential industry. If you're fortunate enough to have experience under your belt, timing is great. It may take longer for the DMVs to get the ball rolling, but once you get in your own truck after training and such, it's going to be great for you. Its just a hell of a journey getting there with the chaos.

    The local WM here had pallets of flat screens in the aisles, put here soon after it was announced that those checks would start being deposited. They weren't the only ones that had enough sitting in their DCs to get to the stores in time to take advantage of it either. Haven't seen things clear out like that except of black Friday sales.

    I don’t think there is a single most powerful person. Our system was designed like that. But most powerful entity, yes. That would be either the mass media, or schooling system, which run neck and neck.

    Those maybe most powerful in terms of ability to influence, but in the sense of making legislation, and creating a system that benefits or destroys people, the government is, once elected.

    You defend and hold the coffee maker aisle.

    Reinforcements are on their way

    Barricade the ends with cabbage and Brussels sprouts.

    Bunker down soldier and defend with rolls of TP and an occasional paper towel Cluster bomb.

    The Humanity. God help us all.
