I have found that I am racist. But it’s okay because I’m also a terrible person which means I don’t have to care.

For years, the American Trucking Associations (ATA) relentlessly
pushed the false narrative of a “catastrophic truck driver shortage”
<><>claiming 60,000 positions went unfilled,
<><>supply chains were teetering on collapse—
<><>the ATA effectively manipulated public policy
<><>so as to flood the trucking business with cheap, under-qualified “visa drivers” from India.

This fabricated ATA crisis wasn’t about solving real problems;
<><>it was a tool to lower standards,
<><>suppress wages,
<><>and prioritize big carriers over safety and sustainability.

Now in a stunning reversal at their 2025 Management Conference, the ATA did a blatant CYA——executing a hard pivot——— ditching the blanket shortage claim and re-framing it as a “shortage of quality drivers.”

---

Translation: The ATA is feeling the heat-——all those non compis mentis visa’ed Indian drivers killing people on the say-so of the ATA.

“I have found that I am racist. But it’s okay “

LOL! Me, too, I guess. I didn’t used to be but I seem to be evolving.
