It's a BusinessInsider story about the trucking industry in Trump's disastrous economic policies. So it seems you're doing your typical coping-deflections because of Trump.

There is already a Trump thread:

Another coping deflection.

This is about the US trucking industry. Clearly you're not aware, but the trucking industry is vital to the US.

Dude I'd love to see if a mod is dumb enough to buy your excuse. I hope you did report it.

Giggle.

Maybe read the story first? But you're too busy knee-jerking because your precious Trump.

Bingo

For someone who claims to love America, hand-waving the damage being done to our Farmers and Truckers (who are largely Conservative voters no less), it's very telling.

That wouldn't be the first time Trump created a problem, used our tax dollars to temp band-aid it and then claim he's the savior. Done it twice already with the billions to bail out our farmers that are wallowing under his polices/tradewars.

There's very likely going to be a 3rd even larger one for farmers in 2020.

This is a good point.

However, it also could be one of the keys to getting Trump a crap ton of votes.

This is not my original idea so I can't take credit for it. But here's the general approach strategy for what is going on with this Trade War:


1. Create an artificial trade war/create an enemy or over-hype an enemy (China).
2. Cause enough problems that there is a slight economic impact. Maybe even a moderate impact.
3. Create fear, uncertainty, and doubt.
4. Resolve the artificially created problem.
5. Tout yourself a a genius, hero, and resolution specialist.
6. Win more support than you started with.


Yeah this strategy is nothing new, I wonder though, if this is the case does he have enough time left to remedy it?

We tell the drivers in work about a lorry drivers strike in 1979 that correlated with a 40% reduction in prostitute murder rates, it's a complete fabrication as far as I'm aware but I love seeing their faces react.

lmao this thread is yet another case of classic leftist projectionism. Ever since Trump whipped Hillary the left has been suffering from endless butthurt. It's hilarious to now see robbie accusing Trump supporters of being the ones suffering from butthurt when Trump is STILL president and Hillary ain't.


Wouldn't be surprised if robbie and several other lefties on this forum cry themselves to sleep every night to cope w/their massive-level butthurt only to get up the next day and come on forum to pretend like it's Trump supporters that are butthurt over something.


Oh leftists...

Truck drivers support indian reservations.

Your edge-boy edge aside, no, small businesses are important to the US economy

It's not just independent truckers who are hurting under Trump's disastrous policies, it's larger shipping companies as well; if they have less product to ship; they cut down on their truckers/employees runs/hours.

And Indian reservations support the mafia.


So if you support truck drivers, you support the mafia.

That's right, **** you robtard. **** you for being completely, 100% right.



On the bright side, this could make an interesting American Truck Simulator: Trump tarrif challenge dlc.

Okay, I'm struggling to follow Robtard's logic as it's backwards. I think he meant to say

"less small business truckers means less distribution of product which means large shipping companies cut back on their shipping because of the shrinkage."

My argument is "**** small businesses."

Like Walmart and Amazon don't have their own truckers doing that shit already.

No, you got that all wrong; likely because you're not intelligent

Two issues:

A) Small businesses matter in the US (eg independent tuckers)

B) It's not just independent truckers who are being affected

Read the story.

The article doesn't mention shipping companies.

More like it's his defense for his butthurt over the fact Trump is president and that old hag Hillary ain't.


Yes, you heard that right... even after almost three years he's still suffering massive-level butthurt over it as most lefties are. It's why he and his wittle butt-buddie pooty bot/bashy fill the forum with so many fake outrage anti-Trump threads so often.


They both need lots and lots of therapy to help with their TDS.

Robtard, how do you do it.

Robtard, how do you do it. Do you masturbate to this delusion?

^You continuing to stupidly call me "Starfly" doesn't change the fact you need some serious therapy, robbie.

OP's butt is definitely hurtin!

The real question now is trump or biden?

A truckload giant just filed for bankruptcy, and it leaves nearly 3,000 truck drivers jobless


The trucking giant Celadon declared bankruptcy on Monday, according to federal filings. -snip

It's poised to be the largest truckload bankruptcy in history, according to FreightWaves, which broke the story on Friday from internal sources. -snip

The bankruptcy has the potential to leave nearly 3,000 truck drivers stranded away from home. The company assured truck drivers in an internal message after midnight on Monday that they would not be stranded and that they would receive full payment for their work. -snip

The filing also leaves some 1,300 administrative employees, most of whom work in Celadon's Indianapolis headquarters, jobless right before the holidays. -snip



Over 4,000 people in total losing their jobs right before the Holiday and New Year.

Awful

From August:

But a sharp downturn in the trucking industry and a slew of tax changes have hampered their ability to make a living. And many connect those two trends to Trump's economic policies. -snip

" is absolutely a moron. His idiotic ideas will tank the economy even further." -Morris Collman, lifelong conservative and trucker of 35+ years

And truckers are still hurting:

Volumes are up in 2019, but not rates. Here's why.
