The liberals smugly thought they had it all figured out. Get a deranged judge and a TDS prosecutor who campaigned primarily on Trump hate in New York to find Donald Trump guilty on an absurd charge that no one else in history had been charged with and for which there were NO victims. Of course, this totally bogus case was sure to be tossed on appeal but the whole point was that during the appeals process that could last for many months or over a year, Trump would have to come up with the over $350 million penalty and prohibited from doing business in New York for 3 years.
Yes, they had it all figured out except they overlooked one very NOT minor detail. American truckers. The "peasants" whom they despise. On the day after the the judgement was handed down, trucker Chicago Ray put out the word that starting Monday, February 19, truckers would NO LONGER be delivering shipments to New York City. And that movement almost instantly grew like wildfire with many many truckers pledging NOT to make deliveries to New York.
As Chicago Ray put it, F--- Around and Find Out. And New York will soon find out that there is little to no food on their supermarket shelves. Food prices in that city will soon reflect the lack of supply from truckers. Within days the price of eggs should rise to at least $10 per dozen which will seem like a bargain a few days later when they rise to over $20 per dozen. Call it an incentive, liberals. An incentive to FAST TRACK the appeals process from months to days so New Yorkers can eat again.
Oh, and don't blame the truckers for your woes, New York. Put the blame where it REALLY belongs. Upon Judge Engoron and D.A. Letitia James and upon all those liberals who were too cute by half with this dopey Trump punishment scheme.
PING!
Hopefully it’s true.
But they are walking away from money if they do this. There needs to be a compensation fund for lost loads.
The Rats will starve
Actually, no. There are more than enough loads destined for other locations. So they won't be losing money by BOYCOTTING NYC.
Hopefully true.
How many deliveries does Chicago Ray make to NYC.
Nary one minority in the painting. I’d bet plenty of minority truckers hate NYC politics and will also participate.
Yeah, I’m wondering how their tactic will be used to bite them in the rear by politicians. Leftists do not lose these days. Only minor setbacks.
I think this is overblown but maybe some truckers can comment. I would be happy if I’m wrong. 16% of truckers are independent, doesn’t sound like enough. Some will be too worried about money to get involved. I don’t know how well indy truckers are doing these days.
This needs to expand to a dozen or so other lefttard sh*tholes.
If I were living in New York City I would TODAY be stocking up on as much food as possible.
Couldn’t they just enlist Justin Trudeau’s men to trample the truckers’ grandmothers with horses?

After this type of corporate public execution, it is hard to imagine many businesses rushing to the Big Apple. Drawing new businesses to the city is going to be about as easy as selling country estates during the French Revolution.

True but it was still the best one I could find that would illustrate this boycott starting... TOMORROW!
“Some Gazans are so desperate for food that they are now stopping aid trucks and immediately eating what they find, the head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees warned on Thursday.”

Grocery chains in the NYC metro area should remove markings from their trucks.
Ditto for restaurant supply companies like Sysco.
NYC street vendors of food need to make plans.
They’re gently coaxing the Appellate Division, and, in turn, the New York Court of Appeals (New York’s highest court), on, is all. Shouldn’t take too long, now, should it?

I hope they actually do this to the point where it hurts.
