Not like anyone takes anything that Kamala nitwit says seriously, but it sure isn't helpful.

Why should I be away from the safe haven I made in the wilderness to attempt making money driving a truck from state to state when they will put up covid checkpoints at every border with camouflage National Guard carrying M-16s, with lab coat doctors carrying syringes, when there will be no more currency, when this country has no future? Why would I do that?

We’ve been stocking up on non perishable foods for a while now, more than usual.

Very smart! Wish everybody else would too, but I’ve lost all hope for most in this society.

I’d feel a lot more sympathy for truck drivers if they didn’t drive like di*cks.

Lower truck drivers ages to 18. Allow non-violent jail inmates to do the driving-cross country. Every truck stop has a check-in for them. Urine test +Make sure they don’t run away.

McDonald’s says it has pulled milkshakes from the menu in all 1,250 of its British restaurants because of supply problems stemming from a shortage of truck drivers.

That's a complicated explanation for a more simple explanation of why every milkshake machine in McDonald's is "out of order." They just require too much labor to clean and maintain, so they have to come up with a better cover story.

Brits are a hardy lot - they can survive on beans-on-toast and fish-and-chips for a decade! With a touch of pub sauce on one and malt vinegar on the other, a meal for a frugal prince. :)

Truck companies need to sign a pledge for all new employees that will never require a vaccine of any kind—and watch the applications pour in....

Well let’s see now.

New Orleans will be needing a lot of roof repair material.

Dang.

Sounds good to me.
If people released from jail can’t get jobs, they’ll just commit crimes again.

This past Friday night my son and his girlfriend went to eat at a local Chilies. The place is usually quite busy, but this time there was a sign on the door saying they now close at 4:30 pm daily because they simply cannot staff the place. We were shocked when he told us this.

Heartbreaking to hear stories like this.

This is all being done intentionally to destroy the nation and economy - all nations for that matter. I know where this ends, they always have “the” solution.

I’ve noticed the bare shelves at a small pharmacy near work, not one that is part of the big chains.

Also have found that products in restaurants change for the worse. When the staff or managers are asked about it, they say they can’t get any more of the good kind of whatever it is.

I’ve said for years we’d rue the day we let the rail system go to hell.

Well…here we are…

I am perplexed as to how a global shortage of computer chips has left chip manufacturers in Asia “especially hard hit”. By traditional terms of supply and demand, they should sitting on top of the world. Can anybody explain this to me?

Truck drivers paid poorly??? Non union maybe but union drivers are paid surprisingly well.
