Key phrases from Biden’s speech: The supply chain sits entirely in the hands of private business, but times have changed? If more federal action is needed, I will direct the appropriate steps to be taken? There will be good paying union jobs, especially in trucking?

And you will get to drive those trucks from a desk, i saw in the news this morning they are pushing closer and closer to driverless trucks. Some day they will all be electric so we will see the truck stops fade away, parts will be minimal so shops will fade away, no need for scale houses and dot smokies. Just think of all the jobs this will kill.

Some of these folks that are worried about paying detention time better ask themselves how much tha National Guard will charge when Biden has them hauling their freight.

Biden says there will be good paying union jobs in trucking, and mayor Pete says it will be driverless autonomous zero emissions. No money in the infrastructure bill for truck parking, but plenty of money for the tech companies that the politicians own stock in.

It was with a young Bill Pullman. Started out as one of the dumbest shows I ever watched but there was nothing else on, so I watched it. About 20 years ago, I started telling people that the show was actually starting to model what was going on in this country! Today, I would say, that show was almost Nostradomus like!The dumbing down of people has just made this country almost useless! Kids go to school for 12 years, get very good grades, but can't even make change for a dollar! If we keep going, raising generation after generation of idiots, what will be left of this country? It is not looking good for us and I for one am glad I am getting old and won't be around to witness the fall of this country!

Idiocracy pretty much describes it, the few factories we have left are shut down because of out sourcing computer chips, our supply chain is kaput, and if China takes Taiwan they will control the rubber supply, meaning they will control our transportation system that is dependent on tires.... And in the middle of all this, the government and ATA think putting teenagers in trucks is a good idea, so I will ask the question who will drive the trucks when the draft happens?

Everybody needs to pump the brakes a little bit, according to Jen Pisshocky (or however you spell it), things are going just fine. What all of you need to do is lower your standards a little bit. After all, she works for our good ole Uncle Joe and he knows what's best for you. So, please calm down, get your shot, put on your mask, give the IRS access to your bank account because they need to monitor every transaction over $600, and open your freakin wallet to the tax man to give up a little more of that profit you have stashed in there, because let's face it, you have more than you need anyway. So quit complaining, be a patriotic American, and fall in line, they've got this under control. Oh yea, on a side note, keep your noses out of the school board's business. They will use your tax money to teach your kids what ever that want, and they know what's best for them. Just to "circle back" to the title of this thread, the world has changed. How in the hell did we find ourselves in this pile of sh-t? Happy Friday Everbody and Have a great Weekend!

How many of you ever thought you would see the day the government went after shippers and ordered them to get their act together? Well the government is now hitting them with a fine of $100.00 per day, per container for every day that their stuff remains at the ports. Remember way back when the government got involved in truck safety? Well now their getting involved in detention issues, because 4 years after the ELD mandate nothing has changed.

For brain dead Biden to say it's entirely in the hands of private industry is a joke. It's the regulations and controls that have broke the system.
