We drove 1-10 on the way back through Fla, Louisiana, all of Texas and NM.
To say it's over crowded everywhere, now, would be an understatement.
It was pretty heavy traffic straight through from Florida to mid Texas. And once you hit El Paso, which you used to be able to sail through, the madness picked back up.
Insanely dangerous driving conditions. Unpleasant. Every exit just a conglomerate of the same box stores. Boomers oblivious to the carnage out in mass in giant Winnebagos hauling Jeeps and SUVs. I actually saw one of them hauling a Jeep AND a golf cart from their massive SUV. At one point, we saw the Winnebago and SUV rolled over on it's side in the median. Boomers walking around it in wonderment.
Funny, we had Thanksgiving with some extended family and friends much to Fauci's disapproval. One was from Puerto Rico. She was explaining how the grandmother came here first and eventually brought in something like 15 other family members. All of which now have kids. Another was from Papua New Guinea and same story. I don't know who came first, but they later brought in a gazillion people. Both instances, they were refugee status.
This sh*t has real consequences and we are living it.
Well, with 80% of the pop either unemployed or “passing through” what does one expect but for the roadways to be jammed. Listening to Ingraham the other day I was acquainted with the news that most of DC is still not back in their offices. TWO YEARS! IOW, they are “working from home” which probably means doing nothing but at home and bored. So, they hit the roadways I guess.
How could there be a refugee from Puerto Rico? It’s part of the U.s.
First, “Boomers” used this way is derogatory and seems to overlook that those same Boomers probably brought you into this world. For that I will forgive them, though. You’re just developed into jerk on your own.
Second, I do understand the comments about (illegal) immigration but did you know that Puerto Rico is a territory of the US? Agreed, that the New Guinians not so much. Were they legal or illegal, you didn’t bother to say...
Have a lovely day Friend.
