An owner-operator is a self-employed free man. Why would the government force such a person into a job that traditionally abuses and overworks people?
Why do you not see the difference here, you’re a FReeper, right?
Why can't these fiercely independent and entrepreneurial truckers create small guilds of similar truckers and rotate jobs among several shippers?
Answer: They don't want to hassle the paperwork, and working with more than one shipper might mean a more complicated schedule. Oh noes!
It’s amazing the status mindsets many have been conditioned into.
I shared this Samual Adam’s quote with a FReeper today.
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”
