And I bet some peeps thought we were years away from a Venezuelan economy . . . oh well, they keep voting for it - they’re gonna get it.

Wait till the fuel transports stop running.

Since everybody in Kalifornia has an E.V. I guess they will be ok.

ENJOY THE SUCK!

The fed’s should invoke one of their few legitimate Constitutional powers—the regulations of international and interstate trade—and revoke the California regulations.

A very good read.

A collapse is coming.

Leave it to California to ban something they deem as bad and fail to over up a replacement or alternative.

Saying this as someone who was born and raised there. The last of my family just moved out last week and are starting to now realize just how bad they had it.

That’s how communism works, the government suffers you into submission of its will!!

I know exactly one long haul trucker - so not a statistically significant sample but... While he runs nation-wide, he will not make pickups or deliveries in CA. I think he got talked into one run in there in the last two years - for a stack of cash.

You people keep voting for it.

So what do you want me to say?

With about 100 comments. But a worthwhile repost. Greenfield gets it.

Many years ago I loaded out an independent trucker that was shut out of california due to cost of conversion.

This insane legislation began at least a decade ago.

Saw a couple of interesting videos over the weekend.

• China's factories are reporting no orders. Retailers can't get the stuff they have ordered in, so they aren't placing more orders.
• A shoe shop said that almost everything they did receive was molded. The selica gel packs designed to absorb moisture can't handle being at see for this long.
• China's factory shutdowns due to lack of power is due to their tempter tantrum as Austrailia for calling for Wuhan Lab to be investigated. China banned Austrailian coal and shot themselves in the foot, in the process. That also revealed a MAJOR weakness in the Chinese economy. They are very much dependent on energy imports, and just banning coal from Austrailia alone has caused them major disruptions.
• According the the Financial Times, L.A. is the least efficient major port.
• Containers are also backed up at Rotterdam (6 day wait) and at Shanghai (3 day wait).
• Covid regulations were cited by some articles as a cause. At least one thing I saw is that shipping workers are quitting because they aren't allowed off the ship at any ports.

No matter; when the full self drive electric trucks swarm in, this will all be moot. They are building factors to make them now. Good or bad, they are coming. I hope all the truckers have been contributing to their retirement funds.

I figure it's going to be another month for the full effects of Bidenzuela to manifest. Hide your pets if you don't want them to be eaten.

” Last year, California’s DMV began refusing to register thousands of trucks with an estimated 100,000 trucks under threat. “

Because their engines are pre 2010.

They are mostly farm trucks.

OTR trucking doesn’t keep an engine that long.

California's stupidity is helping Alabama thrive. Port activity at Mobile port is up 34% over this time last year. Year to date is up 27%.

Perhaps, but the suburban female voters that got upset with Trump's manliness and honesty are going to reap the rewards of their votes for a demented commie like Biden et al.
