I'm not sure I need to watch someone reading it. Maybe a podcast (audio only) or a transcript? I didn't see (or hear) any backup material (like things published in the WaPo) that support this presentation.

There seem to be a lot of video opinion pieces recently that have 10% (or less) actual video content and the rest is head-shots of the host/er/ess.

(Sorry Yo Ma - I really like everything you post, just more of a chance for me to do a general rant.)

by burning through diesel for no apparent reason and not hauling any supplies for anyone. Also COVID mandates that ended. And socialism.

Because Fauci and Biden and Harris and OAC and Pelosi... uh...

Everybody is suffering from higher prices, supply line disruptions due to COVID, and other issues, but we all are suffering from this and the fact that these truckers chose to get on the road during Biden's admin. does not leave much to the imagination, they're trying to cast blame on the wrong guy.

tRump was the one that adjusted tariffs, implemented trade restrictions on China and other countries, and then 'boycotted' these companies because he thought that they were 'woke' companies. A bunch of ridiculous nonsense as usual. Macy's, MLB (baseball), Coke, any 'woke' companies, Delta Airlines, JP Morgan Chase, Cisco, UPS, etc. and many others suffered as a result of tRump's idiotic actions.

I think w/ COViD (primarily) and other idiotic acts by the trump admin., trade and such all suffered. Add the woes that the Trucking Industry has always had issues to hiring enough drivers, etc., keeping them, etc., these truckers' kind of should be well aware of issues and if they don't like it, go to another job, drive inner city commutes, etc. as some of my friends did (much happier too).

tRump is the king of morons.
