That looks like a cure for BLM and ANTIFA roadblocks.

You're right -- two or three of those, and they'll block the roads no more!

Anytime is a big trucking time. Just-in-time supply chains and all that jazz.

“Better idea: park 100 trailer tractors or BIG trucks completely surrounding biden/Harris houses. Stay long enuf not to get parking tickets.24/7. “

Stupid idea. Trucks aren’t allowed to park in most decent residential areas. Even if they were, SS wouldn’t allow it.

...I can tell you, if Biden is inaugurated in January,...

The Leftists have convinced themselves that they can win a all-out civil war. They won't be dissuaded by a mere trucker's strike even if it happens - which it probably won't.

Deterrence has failed.

We are actually going to be forced into all this stuff that we bluster about. What we have right now is all we can use. The clock has run down and the curtain call is out for the next act of this drama.

Take your places on the stage. Play your parts well.

Just wait until Hiden/Ho’s national mandate for masks and face shields while driving your truck 10 hours a day... that won’t go over too well.

I support their protest. We need to strongly resist. Regardless of what happens, we don’t need to make them winners at anything.

Am I missing something or have others noticed how there is less of certain food items and other products in stores? High end stores seemed to be better stocked but prices have certainly gone up. Even local restaurants and chain fast food places are skimping on the old family recipes. Is there a shortage going on? I only ask because if there already is a shortage a couple days of trucks not delivering could cause some real problems in the cities.

Actually he has a point, now is not the best time, as Trump will be blamed by the MSM. However after the coronation of Jo and the Ho, the day he EO’s a lockdown, then strike until the lockdown is over. Let Biden have the joy of seeing what it is like to have everyone work against you.

Do not underestimate the power of a trucker’s strike. It would be very painful, very fast.

How many children were sent to bed without dinner as discipline?

It would cause panic and food shortages immediately. We as a society take food availability, and many other things, for granted.

Even China is now dependent upon our food production. It is a currency more valuable than gold and oil.

I have been seeing missing items on store shelves for some time. The items usually get restocked a few days later, then something else goes missing. That used to be quite rare. It is commonplace now.

The variety of items has also decreased. There are fewer sized containers and some brands have simply disappeared.

Prices appear to be about the same. In fact I am seeing temporary price reductions in some areas ("On Sale - buy Now)". My impression is that prices ran up and containers got smaller over the summer. Perhaps it is normal correction.

An interruption deliveries would cause all of these observations to explode to serious problems within 24 hours. But I am not seeing any sign of that yet.

If something does interrupt truckers, I doubt that it will come from any sort of strike. I would look for quarantine actions from a State Governor which escalate to retaliatory shutdowns of interstate traffic by other States.

In theory, the New Mexico Governor has authorized forcible quarantine for travelers from other States who transit through New Mexico without certification of negative COVID-19 test results. As far as I know, they have not actually tried to enforce such an order, nor do they have any facilities to carry out such actions.

But that is the sort of damned-fool thing that only an overbearing Government is capable of doing, that would be guaranteed to cause a major problem.

A trucker's strike would indeed very powerful. But I doubt that there will be one. There aren't any well-funded and organized groups that could coordinate and sustain such an action. The people currently involved are already backing down.

Be careful what you wish for. You might actually get it.

I expect that if a Biden/Harris administration is installed, they will eventually order lock downs that stop food deliveries - to red-state holdouts. They may even back a phony "trucker's strike" for this purpose. That would be very painful very fast, to the opponents of the regime.

Deadly weapons can always work in both directions.
