This is exactly my point, the poor and the stupid spend their lives making
bad decisions and not contemplating what happens or "we don't care if it
helps, just do something".

This is how vast segments of our country and huge swaths of the rest of the
world spiral into greater poverty and ignorance over time. When faced with
hard work and delayed gratification, they choose quick and ineffective. When
predictably bogus solutions don't work they decide it's a conspiracy that
keeps them back.

Poverty is not a bank balance it's a way of life.

So which is it, there's a driver shortage or trucking companies are
inundated by drivers? Have you ever thought of using logic? Wages aren't
capped unless you decide to stay at one bad carrier regardless of pay.

If you're going to make up lies, why bother posting at all? Show me an
industry pay cap or admit you're a liar. This is really pathetic even for a
supposed truck driver.

already accommodating them, such as Spain and England, is that they know
these countries will become even more accommodating to them after the
attacks. - George Neumayr
