This is stupid. I live in a border town and long-haul drivers have always been required to pass and carry a medical card. Those that cant, or wont need to find another occupation.

And you better believe there are plenty of drivers willing to fill those seats. Our trucks do short haul from the mills right now but we've never had trouble finding qualified drivers.


The other fascist idiots latching onto this are doing a massive disservice to trucking industry.

Truckers are as likely to be vaccinated as anybody else, roughly 60% in the US. There might be a short term disruptive slow-down in cross-border trade but those seats will get filled before long.

In european cities where there are no backyards, people grow by windows, on balconies, on stairs, or just outside of their front door.

Why don't truckers deliver their stuff, you know, for the greater good.

Speaking of liars, Trump is already wildly exaggerating how many came to his rally this weekend in Arizona:

Trump Fans Have Found Their Safe Space

Many of the former president’s critics live in politically segregated bubbles. But his rallies are bubbles too.

Trump Fans Have Found Their Safe Space
Many of the former president’s critics live in politically segregated bubbles. But his rallies are bubbles too.

For Donald Trump and his supporters, crowd size is more than just a bragging point. It’s proof that they are part of the American majority. “A person that comes here and has crowds that go further than the eye can see … and has cars that stretch out for 25 miles, that’s not somebody that lost an election,” Trump told the crowd at his rally in Florence, Arizona, on Saturday.

This is the best explanation I've read that explains the (to me) strange need to exaggerate turnout at right wing events. They are a minority that is shriveling and aging-out. So, they lie about crowd sizes and gloss over their small numbers by claiming “cars that stretch out for 25 miles, that’s not somebody that lost an election,”

Pro-tip, MAGATs: he lost. He lost by a whopping large margin. He lost in Arizona too.

Fact

I belong to a local organic CSA. My food is grown within 5-miles of my home, and I go to the farm once a week to pick up a box of produce. It's wonderful.

Health benefits aside, when times are tough, this provides stability. Food infrastructure should be considered a national security issue, imo.

There's a massive cultural difference between rural US and rural Europe. The vast majority over there live by local markets. Here it's what, one percent?

I was told on social media by these "freedom convoy" quacks, back on Jan 10th, that by the end of the month, all stores shelves would be empty and we would be starving over this because "they" control the whole industry lol.

I shopped 5 stores yesterday and ordered pizza. Everything fully stocked. Assured by store managers they have ZERO fear of running out of anything.
