Regarding the supply chain crisis.

I work at a steel mill where I process drivers who are there for pick ups and, when the situation warrants, read them the riot act. There has been a huge shortage of drivers so much so that the in-house carrier has been advertising on Spotify for recruits. Trucking is a dirty, dangerous job that takes truckers away from home for long periods of time where they are famously under such tight time constraints that they literally pee into soda bottles while driving because they simply don't have enough time to pull over and use a rest room. (That's just what I want when driving down the interstate at 70 mph; some guy driving a heavy load being distracted by trying not to accidentally urinate over the seat of his cab.)

According to the basic economic principles we're supposedly ruled by, truckers should raking the old moola in, right? But no. Exactly the opposite is true. Drivers are now being paid less. One regular, a black guy BTW, had to sell his rig because he was no longer able to make the payments. I bring up his race because Pete Buttigieg keep making everything about race but the fact is everybody is getting screwed regardless. And there are a lot of black, Indian and Hispanic truck drivers out there. (Also a lot of Russian, Polish and Ukrainian with thick accents but, since they're white who cares?)

Pete Buttigieg, I'd like to remind everyone is part of the Davos crowd where Klaus Schwab, literally born a Nazi baby (his dad worked for Hitler) has openly stated that he wants the world to be ruled, not by democracy, but by a combination of corporate and governments power (which, BTW was precisely Mussolini's definition of fascism), displacing the US as the world's superpower to make the planet more like the totalitarian nightmare that is China.

But you can't criticize him because he likes dick. And you can't criticize his policies because he's always talking about how bad blacks have it.

We live in an era in which fascists are no longer jack-booted thugs but passive/aggressive Karens. Now, I ask you: Is that really an improvement?

When you started ranting about how many questions you had to answer at McDonald's I busted up laughing thinking about the South Park episode where the Whole Foods cashier heckles him for like 5 minutes about not wanting to feed the hungry kids.
