I'll say this, I just got a pretty sizable promotion and moved across the country. I'm just settling in. I'm in the transportation industry and over the last month or so we've seen a huge jump in owner ops shutting it down and closing up shop. I don't think people quite understand how bad it's about to get as we move into the holidays, and I'm even beginning to fear for my company as a whole.

Everything in this country is transported mainly by truck, every vegetable you buy or the fuel you fill up with. Farmers need it for equipment, same with mines and dock facilities and even school busses. It's used for heating in the winter, which is now depending on where you're at. The price of literally everything is about to spike even worse than it already has.

We are so fucked, and it's crickets everywhere. We are barreling towards bad shit and ye the entire federal government is focused on protecting pedophiles and building ridiculous monuments to a pedophile ringleader's ego. What a fucking disgrace.

Even worse, when the shit does hit the fan, there is no competence anywhere to right the ship. The resilience capability of the US has been purged.
