These clowns couldn’t bring down a tent in a windstorm, even if you showed them how to do it.
If a group of people wanted to bring the US economy to their knees, it would take perhaps only 150K white males to do it. And they wouldn’t have to do anything other than stay home, sit on their buttocks and open a beer.
If the coal miners of the Powder River Basin, the rail employees who haul coal to the power plants all over the midwest, some large farmers and some truckers decided to sit on their rear ends, within two months, there would be entire cities in the dark. Within six months, there would be food shortages.
And the public would have no clue why, no clue who are the people responsible for this turn of events, because there isn’t a whole lot of TV drama in interviewing a guy on his sofa drinking beer.
Dave, while you are correct and while I always pay attention to your posts, I need to quibble on this one:
If the power is off and the trucks don’t roll, there will be no TV and, likely, only homemade beer. We will all be way too busy to do anything else, let alone hunt down information. We will also know what happened because we probably all know someone who does at least one of these essential jobs.
That said, IMO, Americans in essential positions are too honorable to bring it all down by not doing their jobs. Unless they are unionized leftist. Then, all bets are off. They may just do it.
