Yeah, but if anyone isn’t ready by Wed evening, that’s their problem.
It’s not like Thanksgiving sneaks up on anyone these days.

From the OP article :
"If this is not effective and our leaders do not respect that blue-collar truck drivers are having to face domestic terrorism,
primarily in democrat run cities all over the United States, and that we do not support the banning of fracking in any way,
then we will have our second STOP OF TIRES for FOUR full days 11/26/20-11/29/20."
(My Comment): This is an attempt to get the American public's attention, not really to do any permanent national economic harm.
If you consider the fact that most retail and grocery stores have limited supply on hand, and are dependent on trucker re-supply every three days;
this could be an effective economic statement of support by flexing the trucker influence and economic muscle.
However, this could be the start of real domestic turmoil, especially since, other than small regionalized strikes, the US has never had a massive strike.
There is no indication at this time whether any of the national unionized truckers are supportive of this strike call, even if it is for their own benefit.
It is the unrecognized and under appreciated truckers, both local and "long haul" truckers, who keep this nations products moving from point to point.
Be prepared :" Hope for the best; prepare for the worst" !
“Problem with this is its during Thanksgiving weekend.”
It’s tomorrow.
