They’re about as metal has Def Leopard.

As frmr Texas Gubernatorial candidate Clayton Williams once said to a group of rape victims, “Hey if its inevitable you may as well lay back and enjoy it”

Nascar has never been a huge fan of Live Streaming.

Bull fucking shit. Quit shilling for the man. The prices of everything have gone up, CEO bonuses are up, profits are up.

When Covid hit I resigned from my job since they were planning on doing nothing for our safety.   Why work for very low pay and stress?  I decided I had enough.  I’ve never gotten paid a real living wage.  The truckers should all strike/quit.  Bezos and Musk can pay them to return to work, they have spare cash.  

Anyone remember Jimmie Carter?

I heard an ad for truck drivers today claiming “become part of our family” Bullsh!t. Families look out for each other. Clearly the truckers losing money aren’t being looked out for, nor the dock workers having to work longer hours. 

Bullshit. Worker productivity is way up in the last fifty years, but their portion of the earnings way down.  The bloat is with the parasites skimming all the cream, and that's where it needs to be taken back from. 'Same as it ever was.'

Fuck this. Every other first world country has no problem paying workers fair wages and costs are far from higher. I can go to Europe and make 22 bucks an hour working at McDonalds with 5 weeks paid vacations and better benefits, and the cost for the food is roughly the same

I’m also in this camp. Anything cheap enough to ask for as a gift I can just buy for myself any old day. Christmas gifts just force me to *not* buy things for a month and a half so everyone can feel good about handing everyone else fifty bucks or whatever. It’s sort of farcical really. All I really want to do on…

Getting tired of the “but the holiday season” nonsense. Fuck the retail suckfest that is Christmas. Do what my family did years ago once all the kids were grown. Nobody buys anything for anybody. We all HAVE everything already. I haven’t bought a Christmas present in 25 years. We get together for food and good cheer,…

The intolerable working conditions for truckers, which were first engineered by large corporations years ago, in order to make automation of the job by robot drivers seem reasonable, has suddenly precipitated a mass exodus of workers from the field. This has occurred before the international corporate world order was…

Not to mention the endless shifting of risk to the workers. No we won’t cover your reasonable expenses. You work for yourself, not us so you figure it out. This isn’t unique to trucking either. You’re right. If they keep screwing the little guy over and over, they’ll be lucky if all they do is walk away.

I doubt that Mercedes meant it that way. The greed is from the companies that hire drivers and refuse to pay them enough to keep them on the job. The independent contractor bullshit also gives the drivers no security, and low pay + no job security = everyone who can work elsewhere telling the employers to eat shit.

I don’t know who I heard say it, but they said it best, “Employers love to talk supply and demand until it comes to labor.”

It’s as if generations of wage suppression across the entire economy are suddenly being blown apart by a collective refusal to take any more of it.

A big part of the problem is EMPTY containers sitting on chassis. Once those get off the chassis and onto the sweeper ships the deficit of chassis will improve and the full containers can get out faster.

Drunks drive all sorts of vehicles, just like sober people

I am, to my shame, a 2-time loser. And as such, I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt that no system exists outside of full automation that can keep drunks from driving while also not screwing over normal, rational drivers at the same time.

this is exactly the response that i knew i would get.. .OMG you support drunk driving! how could you not be against drunk driving???
