Yes! Approve it!

Then let the rest of us know when California wants to change its mind and let trucks bring stuff there again.

Until then no stuff brought to CA.

The thing is, how do they get stuff, like food, out of Cali if this would happen?

No stuff hauled out of California either. Port of LA would shrink just diesel train traffic. Most shipping would then go to east coast ports.

A very large amount of material comes into the US from the ports on the west coast, such as the port of Los Angeles and the port of Long Beach. Every person in this country will be impacted by this edict handed down from a bunch of unelected bureaucrats.

The death knell of Cartelfornia, illegals, climate change BS, forced covid mandates that killed mom and pops and the education system, draconian rules on lax burglaries, ACAB, while promoting AIDs and pedophilia all by raising taxes.>/p>

They own the electrical, force drought with water and crushing farms while Newsom now owns a 65 billion deficit he's stealing from cities and counties

Someone pointed out that trucks are already very heavy and that replacing engines with huge battery packs will only make them heavier. Bridges will need to be reinforced throughout the country.

Will they only allow battery powered construction equipment to firm up the bridges?

The teamsters are for Trump. Why don’t they just refuse to operate their trucks in Cauliphonya. Let the CaliChimps drive to the state line and pick crap up.

Perhaps even low doses of ubiquitous intoxicants in the air can have a cumulative effect.

We should kick California out of the Union and ban their trucks from getting in the U.S.

I guess they figure the Trump Administration wouldn’t go for this.
