Truckers To Shut Down America

[Irving]

Actually, I'm going to go as a truck driver on strike for Halloween. Won't even have to buy a costume, just stay home.

We have French truck drivers?

Ha! I don't know about French but there's a bunch of Russians behind the wheels.

Hmm,a few individuals with a common interest wanting to change the status quo.
Starting a small movement to rebel in what to them is a meaningful manner.
Seeking support and growth through social media.
A lot of people saying: "Silly, stupid, it won't work."

You know, I recall a lot of people saying the same thing about a small movement to recall a couple of legislators here.......
How did that work out?

You guys see what is happening? People are starting to stand up and push back, so what if they use a different medium?
They are pushing back on the same thing we did, over reach, corruption.

Good for them and I hope they succeed.

I don't have a problem with the idea but I also don't see them as really serious. If they were really serious they wouldn't: 1) limit it to 3 days, 2) do it over a weekend when less freight moves anyway, 3) do it over a holiday weekend when even less freight will move than on a normal weekend.

Or maybe they're just really bad at planning strikes.

if the trucks stop going to nyc it would only be about 18-24 hours before they start running out of food

Maybe Bloomberg will starve.

Maybe Bloomberg will starve.

or maybe he will choke on pennies like a seal at the zoo

America shut down when it elected Obama...

If the Teamsters aren't involved, it's probably just a few dozen independent drivers about to lose their contracts. If even 50% of the truckers nationwide decided to strike for 3 days, that would have a major impact.
