Ive seen that at times in new england. Especially lately, Im told its hard for transport companies to get drivers. You need hazmat certs and everything else to drive a tanker and those guys are in top demand.
right now you can get the same pay as congressmen being a tanker trucker. the problem is there's a reason the pay is so high, trucker culture and lifestyle could be argued to be worse than moby dick era whaler lifestyle. sure you could make 160k a year but you won't have much free time to spend it, most of your social circle will be whatever you hear out of your speakers, you'll be on meth for most of your awake life as well, because no one accounts for any of the numerous mishaps that happen on high ways, such as snow or rain, so you have to make it up somehow then there is the constant waiting in line at weigh stations and other hassles. for fucks sake they only got cruise control in the last decade or something, sleep induced accidents are so frequent despite the consequences most companies will settle the lawsuits, tracy morgan is just a famous example of a victim but they are more numerous than you'd think.
honestly if you take the whole "delivering goods" part out of the equation trucking is like something out of a psychological horror film, a man is forced to live on meth and in isolation the only company what he has on the radio, he only can shower and eat communally once a day with other victims in the grimmiest places away from real people, even the hookers resemble lizards more than people , and if he's lucky he gets to go home once a month.
The illegals will mostly scurry back to their shitholes, yes, but the pajeets and muslims who flooded every first world nation and own property are in it for the long haul. We're stuck with them forever. In a twisted sense, I get a sick satisfaction knowing that they'll suffer along with us and in some cases will be even more miserable than us (due to them missing their culture). It's very I Have No Mouth. We'll all suffer together for eternity.
Meanwhile countries like Japan will feel forever vindicated in their xenophobia and racism. Good for them.
immigrants behave a lot like italian americans, the muslims and indians keep their traditions hard, plus the natural enclaves will mean regardless of where they are it will just be little pakistan. look at the tech industry.
I need my thunkfull rating back.
The number of food processing plants just going up in flames is...odd. I have heard some people posit it is gayops from either the US government or foreign agents.
The total lack of any response on this from the elected officials is infuriating. We can afford to send guns to the fucking Ukraine for resale, but we can't feed our own children. Fuck this timeline.
its a US glowie op, arson investigation is right up there with child murder investigations: we have enough history, research, and dedicated people that its literally impossible to get away with, beyond that regulations mean they can't not look into how the fire started with evidence as to why. even when this happens by accident, it doesn't.
Just a reminder that the US has like 35k+ food and beverage processing plants. A few burning down isn't cause for alarm. Its suspect, but not some conspiracy.
its not even the halfway point and we're at about 1% of the fuckers gone, if 1% of any infrastructure got destroyed every year, we'd still be in the dark ages. imagine if every year the same percentage of football players dropped dead or fighter pilots or bridges or high ways or congressmen.
the fact that faggots like you go "lol no big deal" instead of "silly goyim 90000 of these places burn down every year" proves its a big deal. because if you had a number that could shut people the fuck up you'd use it. and again, its not halftime yet.
A lot of mysterious fires in Russia too. Maybe there's a cyber war going on right now that we just aren't hearing about?
But more likely its greedy companies working overtime and skimping on safety because of supply chain problems.
saftey systems usually aren't something you can hack into the way you think for various reasons sometimes just age. beyond that its not something you can skimp out on, you're better off as a greedy company
openly deciding to be racist or sexist in hiring policies with how quickly the government fucks you on this stuff. the labor commissioner sets a pretty low bar because she feels better about ass raping the companies that don't clear it.
That's what I'd think, but, there's just too many of them. It's like people trying to explain away the church fires in Europe and Canada the past few years as "lol they're old what do you expect" when some of them were shit like "Hey lets hire muzzies to rennovate them" and "we investigated for 5 minutes and found nothing wrong don't ask questions and stop filming the muzzies cheering and dancing in front of the fire, it's a hate fact."
this goes to my other point, if its arson they know as quickly as a coroner would if someone died of a gunshot to the head vs a heart attack vs blood loss from having their limbs chopped off. they might not tell us but the people that could know do know. its just the whole repercussions from admitting the truth that might prevent them from being honest.
If you have to ask, then the answer is no. In other words, when you’re fucked, you’ll know, unless you’re too doped up to know or care.
thats the most boomer answer ever
I’d call it a combination between that, a massive influx of new hires to get back to pre pandemic production levels and lowered/deferred maintenance on equipment in order to save money/push product out the door.
the only two areas doing good are wineries and heroin manufacturers, its literally at the point where entry level at either pays better than assistant manager at any retail store or company.
Anarcho-tyranny, isn't it?
Law-abiding citizens effectively frozen out of all policy decisions, denied any influence on government activities, subjected to ever-declining quality of life, all but ignored by law enforcement as crimes are committed against them and even punished severely by the same for defending themselves against overt criminal activity (even direct violence) when conducted by lawbreaking "activists" who are never punished (or even stopped) so long as they're shouting government-approved slogans, beating up the right people and vandalizing and looting the right businesses.
Sounds about right.
to be fair if we're being honest thats the status quo of the US, especially for certain groups, for fucks sake the mafia's control in this country proved it, if not that then the dozens of other special interest groups, like abolitionists that treated slaves with the same hard on european pro-immigration people have today, except even more blatantly open about sacrificing people for their cause.
then there is the small scale stuff, no white has ever been able to use a government program put in place in any metropolitan area of this country, meanwhile blacks know they know someone in their social circles that will help them out. why do you think their welfare gets extended constantly vs what the letter of the law says
for fucks sake just the amount of parents that supported politicans and causes that allowed inner city youths to play basketball until last call at the bars while forcing their own kids to not leave their own room after sundown is insane. and that sounds like a nitpik but it truely shows that the golden rule doesn't rule over people in the US, anarcho-tyranny does
because if any of these retarded boomers believed they were good parents they wouldn't support politicans that openly pass laws that would give a finger to their own familial policies.
its like public school, white kids go and study hard and pay for college and get good grades, but if you decide to say "ill just go to community college instead of an out of state school" then the tyranny of the term paper is replaced by the hoodrat anarchy of being a teen, all you can eat free lunch, gigabit internet, the state won't even allow the teachers to fail you if you show up at least half the time, for fucks sake you can shoot guns in school and not spend a day in jail. meanwhile whites have every counselor on their ass if they are a bit off compared to how baby boomers felt about life at your age.
This called Demand Destruction. Everyone is going to get lessons on esoteric economic terms for events during a collapsing economy. I know I am. Not really sure how we will get out of it unless the politicians decide to stop punishing the people who live in America for breathing air or another country decides to export their economy to ours for “credit”.
like my above examples, a lot of the "american dream" is built on scams, as we saw in san fran or loudon recently if people wise up to how fucked the system is they might be able to group together or cheat their way through it.
a 7th generation american will be able to see through the bullshit and lies easier than a 1st gen. the same way someone working at a company 30 years will be able to spot the BS better than someone that just joined, and will be able to point out how much things suck now vs when they started.
by every metric you are always better off as a politician replacing your voters for this exact reason.
I keep hearing complaints of an inability to get workers at businesses.
Fucking WHY? Is it just that stupid antiwork subreddit putting worms in people's brains?
After eleventy years of pandemic lockdowns you'd think a lot of folks would want a job just to have something to do.
businesses don't want to pay, roughly since covid i tracked job offers on indeed in my area, but only for jobs offering 25% than minimum wage, which shouldn't be an extreme outlier especially when COL has been double digits for awhile now.
guess what, almost no one is offering shit. there was one month where all the seasonal shit appeared, but that was april/may and outside of that most of what i've seen this year is the rare executive job requiring 10+ years or an extremely in demand job like trucker or nurse or local high skill specialization but overall apparently most jobs in a major metro area won't even offer 25% more than minimum wage, which is how businesses can have a labor shortage.
See, here's the thing. In order to import an H1B serf, you have to "try and fail to fill the position," or somesuch.
How many of those are them fulfilling the letter of the law before importing a serf?
Try franks red hot instead?
and with the way inflation is going every indian will be stocking shelves at walmart and flipping burgers at mcdowells in a few years, like coming to america! so its either $59k for someone that knows us businesses are greedy or $60k for some immigrant that praises you to your face but is rude behind your back and doesn't speak english. i wonder what businesses will chose.
