Some people can still read more than a meme.
I remember hearing of a letter where the writer apologised for the length, saying he could have made it shorter but he didn’t have time.
Just sayin'.
Ah, another troll heard from. I wondered where those losers had gotten to.
NYC is vulnerable like no other major city on earth, ‘cept mebbe Venice.
There are only a handful of roads in, and all supplies come in via truck. NO trains.
Shut them down for 36-48 hours. Let’s see what the thugs do to the virtue signaling losers that vote for Aholes like Adams.
It’s not the boycott that’s going to cause damage, it’s the threat of boycott and resulting panic.
If just a small number of truckers start the boycott and the word gets out that there could be food storage and the citizens rush the stores, that is what will cause chaos.
Well, from your position, slitting your wrists is the only viable solution…unless of course, you are a never-Trumper or a leftwing nutjob (Yeah, I know, an oxymoron.).
As one who work in NYC (and will be there tomorrow morning), I really hope the truckers are able to cause some major supply disruption. As others have pointed out, NYC is a huge place, however, they are very dependent on fresh goods constantly being brought into the city.
Any restaurant or store would be quickly brought to their knees here if they did not get their daily supplies of produce, meats, etc. As real estate is so expensive here, most places of business are comparatively tiny and have little storage to even keep more than a few days of non-perishable inventory.
Since the fake pandemic, I've yet to eat in a NYC restaurant. Their "key to the city" approach in which they publicly shunned and shamed people like me who refused the vaccinations by putting up notices telling us to KEEP OUT of their businesses really offended me.
Now I take my own lunch into work as I won't even buy a hot dog or sandwich for lunch there anymore, even though the shaming signs have finally come down. Screw them. When I am able to retire, I'm moving away from NYC and never going there again, not even to visit.
An economic boycott can work, but people need to get together and make it work. Cities need food and other necessities. They can be influenced into better behavior, but people need to keep peaceful and lawful. They can’t make the trucker work. If enough refuse to deliver to NY, the price of things will go up by the rules of supply and demand. In an economy run by the free traders, transport workers, i.e., truckers, longshoreman and railroad workers can cripple the national economy. That an economic boycotts of foreign products can shut down the globalists peacefully without anyone getting locked up the the J6rs. Things won’t change by people doing nothing.
Now, let’s talk about how to make this work.
You’re doing the best you can.
God bless you.
True words....
Target the deliveries of motor fuel until the gasoline supply runs dry. Force the elite New Yorkers to the streets or subways.

“ small trucking companies, are in no position to refuse loads to NYC, no matter how much they want to”
That is probably true. However, they can start jacking up their prices. Drivers can demand more pay to go there. Drivers can go 5 under the speed limit the whole distance.
One person like me can stop this thing dead? That’s a good one. Try a real reality for a change because a fear based reality will get you nowhere.
This is no parade, Skippy. I hope this movement catches on but as a former OTR driver I can tell you singling out one city is not likely to work. Trucking and distribution is complicated. They would have to boycott all the DCs in the Tri State area. If a few wanted to get bold and block roads, bridges they’d quickly be removed.
Most deliveries in the 5 boros is done by smaller box trucks driven 95% foreigners with most of them being illegal. To make this work the large distribution and fulfillment centers in NJ and upstate NY have to be boycotted.
What are your other options?
"If just a small number of truckers start the boycott and the word gets out that there could be food storage and the citizens rush the stores, that is what will cause chaos."
Yes. Exactly. If/As word spreads, those stocking up on things will cause others to do likewise, and pretty soon there would be enough momentum to accelerate that 2-week timeline for inventories to dry up. All the best.
From picking crops to dropping off boxes - that’s why we need millions of them /s
