RIGGED! Forced into debt. Worked past exhaustion. Left with nothing.

Title and link only, due to restrictions.

Essentially about the crummy contracts certain truckers submit to. Many of these issues arise from CA's CARB law that essentially banned all trucks older than 2015 forcing drivers and industries to spend mega bucks on new equipment and updating equipment. A classic case of what Bastiat call the seen and the unseen and a good example of Leonard Read's, "I Pencil," in practice.

The pure capitalism of the late 19th century created enormous economic growth and the creation of tens of millions of new jobs. Unions and government inference started us on the path to socialism and unconstitutional social programs like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

Yep, pure capitalism works. Just ask China. It adopted the Hong Kong model and its economy boomed.

At the same time, profit became a dirty word in the U.S. and people you think should be defending freedom advocated for elimination of the right to assemble and organize to redress their grievances.
