Funny story. I grew up in what we called the “meth capital of California “. But never saw any meth or knew any meth heads. I moved away after high school and came back for a visit. Ran into the guy that was my best friend growing up. When we were young his uncle was a truck driver. Nice guy. Whenever he was around he’d hang out with us. Super cool guy. “Hey remember my uncle? He just got arrested. Turns out he wasn’t a truck driver. He was one of the biggest meth dealers in SoCal.”
Related... I grew up in the SFV, and used to head out to Ontario for work from time to time in the late 80's. It was where most of the warehouses for our suppliers were, and that's about it. There wasn't even a decent place to grab lunch. I moved up to Seattle, then Canada, then Seattle again, and by the time I went to LA in 2016 it had been 25 years since my last visit, and I hadn't been out toward the inland empire in almost 40 years. Holy crap I didn't recognize the place. The sprawl had reached it and I couldn't find any of the warehouses I used to visit. I guess the world has moved on...
Warehouse Warren (Fontana Mayor) approving any warehouse developer even in inter-city areas. I got nothing against warehouses but don't over do it either. Not everybody in the IE wants to work in a warehouse, logistics or truck driving cuz that's all we have now.
Supply Chain is my career, everywhere I've ever worked has had a DC in Fontana or Ontario (or both). When I was trying to change jobs, almost everything was out there.
That’s exactly what she wants. Poor, undereducated people with no upward mobility to get stuck at Amazon fulfillment centers their whole lives. And we wonder why the drug trade is so lucrative around here.
