In Canada the government started seizing the trucks and bankrupting independent truckers.
Sure Xiden’s handlers would step in and do the same here if it takes off.
The Big Apple is rotten.
Like in Ayn Rand’s novel, you cannot extort another’s labor and talents, not without overwhelming force. And then, the labor will be lackluster and sabotaged.
I’m sure the Teamsters will come to the rescue
The graphic is based on all truck shipments stopping. No chance in hell of even coming close to that.
And now the taxpayers of Canada are going to be footing the bill for that nonsense.
Doesn’t matter the confusion has started and the democrats will PANIC ,LOL
Truckers going Galt? grin
Does anyone think Mayor Pete has the stones to do anything about it? I would love to see him go toe to toe with the truckers. Unfortunately, like the wuss he is, he would call in his FBI goons to handle it.
Buttplug is way too busy removing the White in Blacktop
Have the trucks only deliver to red states for a few days. Nothing Brandon can do about that.
if nyers panic and start hoarding
there will be shortages even if the boycott is nominal
You can count on it. All truckers have to have a valid CDL. This license is on file with the DOT and can be revoked anytime they now please. Don’t believe me? Look at what they did to Trump.
Nothing Biden could do?
He could suspend the truckers for ‘interference with interstate commerce’ or ‘domestic economic terrorism’ or anything else he cares to make up.
The stores could sue in New York before a friendly court for every trucker refusing to travel there and then seize their trucks to pay the $350 million dollar verdict.
You are under the misunderstanding that rules or law has anything to do with America these days. It’s about POWER and using it to win and crush your enemies who are “literally Hitler.”
Exactly what isn’t someone who believes Trump = Hitler able to morally justify doing at this point?
While I am sure some truckers will obey this, call me skeptical they will get enough to consistently stick with this to have any real impact.
I support their cause, but just doubt that you can get enough to keep NYC starved. Especially when you got Mexicans who can’t even speak english driving these things anymore.
But even with all of that, there will be no food, no clean water, no fuel. Hitting the truckers hard only makes the situation worse.
Few long-haul trucks actually enter NY City
To have any effect, they need to boycott Northern New Jersey between Palisades and Brunswick, Westchester, Hunts Point.
Here’s what happens when cities go to sh*t — it’s called the Curley Effect, named after a politician from the northeast.
Those with money - who may vote Republican - get the heck out. This gives Dems more control.
They can’t trust upper middle class and rich. It’s the uneducated dumb Demonrat voter that can’t get out of Detroit but still votes D-D-D-D down the line that they want or one they can just vote for them.
Then the Dem city is 90%+ Democrat control.
Guess what?
Dems now OWN that state. Detroit means they own Michigan. Atlanta gives them Georgia. Etc. A super-Democrat majority city allows them to print up as many votes as they want. They can do ‘voting by affidavit’ and the person doesn’t have to be registered. Motor voter and the person doesn’t have to show up. They own CA and NY already so how many other states can Republicans lose and still have a chance nationally? Not many. Trump had to run the table on the rust belt.
So however crappy things get = more Democrat power. Remember, the only cure for failed socialism is ...
more socialism.
“Especially when you got Mexicans who can’t even speak english driving these things anymore.”
You’re years behind reality on who’s behind the wheel of many of the trucks moving goods long distance. Try Russkis, Haji, & any of the multiple extractions of the Indian subcontinent.
