Who gives a shit that will put and out of work? Good. And and and too.

Once again the billionnaire class has everyone angry about the wrong thing. Focus instead on the fact that the trillions of wealth that will generate will be hoarded by, like, 10 people. THAT is something to be angry about.

The 10 richest people in America are sitting on $1.2 trillion dollars. We don't have an problem we have a problem.

My response to complaining about other vehicles:

If only there were a freight system where you could assemble all these loads into a convoy, spaced close together, all going at the same speed. Maybe even have it on a separate road from all the lighter-weight vehicles. You could even experiment with lower friction alternatives to rubber and asphalt. I hear steel-on-steel has excellent rolling resistance.

I Used To Make $100K As A Trucker. Now I Make Minimum Wage.

youtube.com/watch?v=2XJlJqda8m

Truckers used to make $110K per year on average. Now many are homeless. So what happened? We dug into it as part of our new Class Room series, which looks at how jobs that used to provide a solid, middle class life now barely provide a living.
With trucking, that story starts with deregulation. Big Box stores like Walmart were allowed to crush worker power and wages across an entire industry.
Now there's a perpetual trucker shortage as drivers get sick of low wages, long hours, and constant surveillance.

"Why had Orlando been kidnapped? Her husband had simply made a routine trip down to Guatemala to sell used cars from America like he had dozens of times before."

are required to carry chains on I-70 through the Rockies from September 1 through May 31 each year. I’ve chained up along that stretch of road many, many times. A couple of friends of mine were at Red Rocks last night (Friday night April 21st) and it was snowing during the concert. ~ youtu.be/Bp_aRk3trTU
