Everyone who works at Costco has been injected with the experimental gene therapy.

No, the troubles DID start under Trump, thanks to this fake emergency. There was plenty hysteria and cowardice then, too, which led to lost jobs and thus other shortages.

My jaw dropped and I bolted from the store.

Thank goodness you avoided a potential runny/stuffy nose and 3-day cough.

I’m a trucker for a medium sized grocery chain. Our shelves are full. Our people are coming in to work. Warehousemen are getting the trailers loaded on time. Mechanics are keeping the trucks tip-top. Drivers are getting the deliveries done on time. We’re not having to go to the lengths that were necessary during the original COVID lockdown/meltdown.

Well, I think they were telling us just a few weeks ago, that the empty shelves were due to the economy taking off, and so many people experiencing new-found wealth, that people were buying out the stores, just because they now had so much extra money.

I wonder what happened to that theme?

Man made pandemic, man-made shortages. How much more will Biden blame on something else but his policies? Biden's handlers are thinking we citizens are stupid to go along with the drivel. Biden and Kamala need to go.

I thought heels up harris said no one was to blame?


No, I believe that was Howard Jones.

I drove for Werner for a few years. Truckers are not the problem but if they keep screwing with them then anything is possible.

I know, and please don’t tell my cat. So far, we have been able to keep the food coming, but things are not looking so good for the long-term. I might have a big can of mackeral in the cabinet...

‘... everyone here is sick. ...’

Im in Georgia. I just dont see this ‘sickness’. I must be blind, or else too busy making a living to pay attention. Karma tells me if I can covid, I will feel differently. I object: I will understand the temporary downtime, but that’s all. This is so fear-driven.

I blew the piston on my Stihl Chainsaw in May 2020.
They ordered the new piston, rings. It finally came in this week. 8 months

I called Stihl customer service and gave them crap about two weeks ago. Then the part suddenly arrives at the dealer.

> Didn’t Biden say he used to drive a truck? <

Yes. And my sources at the White House tell me Biden is going to get behind the wheel again. He’ll do anything to help out!

I don’t care what is causing it, just FIX IT.

I don’t know about anywhere else. We pay our people decently and treat them extremely well. It’s the outfits who don’t that are always on the bleeding edge of the driver shortage/turnover problem.

He never drove a truck, he rode in one to see what is was like and now he tells you he was a truck driver. Just like Golda Mier called him to help after the 6 Day WAR IN 1967, AND DON’T forget HIS battle with Cornpop.

It took over a year for the damage to show up from Trump and his actions.
While I still like Trump, I am not sure I would support him again if he ran, unless he were the only choice.
