He hadn’t always been driving an Uber at 11:30 at night. Not all that long ago he used to have his own business with 7 trucks before he was bankrupted by California’s insane regulations.

California Drove Truckers Out of Business. Now Store Shelves Are Empty
After a long cross-country flight, I made it out of LAX and into an Uber. I wasn’t in the mood to talk, but the driver was. And hearing that I was a journalist, he wanted to tell me a story. I’ve heard a lot of stories over the years, but this may have been the most important one I let go.

I'm SOOOOO glad we're out of there.
ReplyDeleteMy son moved here in August, and his stress level dropped about 90%!
Not to worry comrade! Our policies are coming to you soon enough.

We're seeing empty shelves at the grocery but it's in sporadic categories. Cat food fer sure. Cheapest gas in town here in SoCal is $3.89 gal. Branded stations like Chevron are as high as $4.69. Both those price are for regular.
ReplyDeleteThere's a station near my office that is $5.67 for regular.
DeleteI read that Comrade Newson also decreed that trucks passed some arbitrary age limit were not allowed in ports. Too dirty, don't cha know....
ReplyDeleteYeah, the ships are here, they're hustling. The problems are global, true, but we're suffering more from overreliance on the ports of LA/LB as a country. The Panama Canal set new transit records last 2 months running, so finding alternate ports is happening.
ReplyDeleteIt's not the whole story, of course, but it's a big chunk. It seems retarded that the reason there's a codfish shortage for fish n' chips in Philadelphia is that the cod, landed in Boston, were shipped to China, processed, packaged and returned to Los Angeles, and shipped by rail to Chicago to a cold storage warehouse, then repackaged and shipped by truck to Philly. So, instead of a 6 hour trip by truck, the fish went literally around the world.
The fun part is that the Twice Frozen Fish shipping process is all done by Americans.
"processed" in China means damn, dirty, Commie hands touched our food. Every Dem pol should be .......
