I know most truckers can't afford to turn down runs, that said alot of places in this country have difficulty getting the goods they need on the shelf. If NYC is cut out of the loop for awhile, that will help ease the pressure on other places.
I have zero sympathy anymore. At some point you hang up the cleats, give up on the team, and let justice and judgement take it's course. If you want to vote Rat and thumb your wokeness in my face, I'm going to let you experience the full force of the laws of reality.
One of the big problems in this country is the urban population center domination of our electoral and representative makeup. They almost all vote Rat, and same Rats want to get us under their Marxist boot, if they want to let us live at all. What they don't get is that they're dependent on the rest of us out in blue collar flyover to be able to eat and have things.
So if we need to fire some shots across their bow, so be it. I don't think it will change them, but if they want to keep up the crowding out and replacement politics, that can go both directions when your precious urban populations starves. And we out here don't have to do a dang thing other than do nothing to let it happen.
Then watch the power shift away from the cities as they die of and have far less population. Most people will say 'Oh noes, oh noes, how can you say that, that's horrific!!'. Yeah it is, but can I really stop you from suicide if I'm in the next zip code and you put the gun to your head? At some point you are responsible for your own actions. It's a nightmare scenario, but it's also realpolitik, and real history. It's time for hard lessons to be learned, and time to play hardball and say no to their plans of AI automated 15 minute cities, dystopian hell.
