fromWattsUpWithThat:  We are told the California port situation is caused by a driver shortage. Not so fast: It is in part caused by a California Truck Ban which says all trucks must be 2011 or newer and a law which prohibits Owner Operators. Traditionally the ports have been served by Owner Operators (non union). California has now banned Owner Operators. Long term, truckers in California are not investing in new trucks because California has a law that makes them illegal in 2035. The requirement is to purchase electric trucks which do not exist.

fromReason:  Is the problem government cash or have we entered a new paradigm?

fromCaitlinJohnstone:  Our political systems are set up to herd people into a two-party system that is controlled on both sides by plutocrats.
