Speak for yourself.

I read it and enjoyed it.

I read it, can’t say I enjoyed it, but I take it seriously. I grew up in NYC, and really disliked it for all the right reasons. Our author makes a lot of good points and makes sense.

One fact he left out is that the instigator of the boycott points out that getting into or out of NYC is a pain in the behind, on a good day, in a truck. Not a fun place to drive a big rig.

I liked the article too and I hear a lot of chatter about this boycott in other parts of the Internet (you will not hear about it in mainstream media unless the story can be made derogatory against the truckers).

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.
