I heard a farmer on Hannity the other day. He said it’s difficult to get fertilizer and when he can get it the cost is twice what it was recently. He said if this doesn’t resolve he will be out of business from lack of income. We really can end up with food shortages.

The rats are creating what is potentially the worst disaster ever seen in the USA. Is it intentional or because we are being run by IDIOTS?

God help us if water shortages ever happened, that’s when you get mass death in days. I actually experienced dehydration and massive thirst years ago when I use to run marathons in High school.

I went to this summer camp in upstate NY for runners and they had us run a marathon with absolutely no water or water stations and by the 15th mile hell kicked in and nobody was around. Unbelievable irresponsibility by the organizers of that camp as most of the runners there were kids in their teens, I was only 14 or 15.

And then I stopped sweating and then I could barely run and started feeling dizzy and faint, so this went on for hours, and all I thought about was water water water, absolute torture and I tell you, to this day, the most delicious water I ever had was from this water fountain when we finally got back to camp. That was 43 years ago 1978

“One of my sons is a young trucker. He runs flatbed semis for a lumberyard. He’s got the most important job in the family. He helps keep hundreds of men employed.”


I think your point is a good one. Unfortunately, it is not really understood by those who demand obedience to the vaccine mandate and would gladly cast out those who disagree. Most seem not to understand that our economy is interconnected and dependent upon other parts to do their jobs. If one part does not do its’ job, then other parts can’t do theirs and the impact moves like a giant wave across our economy. This is what Biden’s mandate will cause.

Anderson said the vaccine mandate will almost certainly worsen
the driver shortage. Truckers are independent-natured.

I wonder what the price is of a fake Vac. Card. The one I have
isn’t nothing that could be produced with just a bit of effort by
anyone wishing to go black market on the item.

Some medical experts say clusters of unvaccinated people allow the virus to mutate into a form that can bypass the vaccine.

The oft repeated lie.

“a driver must pass his commercial driver’s license (CDL) test, a process which usually takes four to seven weeks.”

Obviously ray-ciss. Hand out CDL’s to POC’s like Halloween candy. Problem solved.

Life continues to resemble an Ayn Rand novel. It was a poor excuse for a novel, but it’s even worse as reality.

But human beings often want to assert that they amount to more than mere links in a chain, pulling on command from the federal government. The logic of individual freedom doesn’t calculate for material benefits.

This is what separate Americans, and make America the greatest country on Earth. No one but a true American would sacrifice everything for individual freedom.

From the Declaration:

And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

I like that. The only problem is Biden doesn’t care. He will always have food. Needs to be a union tag team effort. Park 300 rigs in DC around Thanksgiving and have all air traffic controllers go on strike. No way for our precious do nothing govt officials to get out and get home.

If I was running a warehouse, I would certainly let truckers use the bathroom, for heaven’s sake!

Nope. The DOT issued a regulation that truckers couldn't use local bathrooms in the building "to stop the spread of Covid".

We had to put yellow tape across the doors.

But they could use the bathroom at the local truck stop 10 minutes away.

It wasn't the warehouse owner, it was the feds (sometimes the state) and the HR depts of these massive warehouse companies that pushed the rules.

Yeah, it makes you wonder about Brandon’s promise to remove millions of cars off the roads.

The idiots who live in the coastal cities really believe that trains are the answer. After all, trains work so well in Europe.

Trains works in Europe because they have much smaller distances to cover, they have been developing their cities around the use of trains for about 175 years and the re-built many cities post WW2 around using trains to move commuter traffic.

Mass transit in the USA, however, has been an endless government budgetary black hole that never produces a fraction of the value it costs.

Like the protest idea - but NOT on Thanksgiving.

Do the DC protest a few weeks before Thanksgiving - - before congress leaves for one of their many vacations.
