    Ahh yes I see that must be right because we have a massive truck driver shortage over here with no vaccine mandate, that makes perfect sense now you’ve explained it.
    And the conspiracy surrounding quarters 😂😂
    how many ports do you have that are flooded with shipping containers?

    All of them did you think it was just the US? You need to get out more and take your head out of the Fox and Friends echo chamber.

    “happypreppers” is NOT a conspiracy site.
    Stop LYING!

    The problem is that a lot of truck drivers are retiring because they don't want the gene vaccine. It isn't covid, it is the vaccine mandate that is causing the shortages. Biden is an incompetent idiot!
    From the site Mott quoted:

    https://cdllife.com/2021/7-9-of-trucking-companies-confirm-enforcement-of-vaccine-mandates-in-a-recent-poll/

    They claim that only 7.9% of trucking companies enforce a vaccine mandate... the rest sees it as opportunity for recruitment not to.

    Mott claimed they rather get the unemployment benefits...

    Is the vaccination mandatory fo truck drivers in the USA??? I thought it was a battle about people in health systems.
    Any business that employs 100 or more people.

    Many truck drivers were old enough to retire, but chose to keep working anyway. Instead of taking the experimental gene vaccine they decided to retire. Many people cannot pass the DOT drug screening because they smoke cannabis or take hillbilly heroin pills or substitutes like actual heroin.

    There is no conspiracy except the conspiracy of silence. They want us to believe truck drivers are not getting paid enough and don't want to work because of it. That is contrary to capitalism. If you cannot get people to work for you at the rate you are paying you pay them more or let the competition get all of your business.

    Do you think it is just a coincidence that truck drives don't want to work right after Biden imposed the gene vaccine mandate? Covid has nothing to do with it. It is the gene vaccine mandate and the corp. news media doesn't want to admit it. Drug free people with CDLs are hard to replace at short notice.

    Did you read the article?
    It is actually at least 16.1%
    61.4% say they don't know if their employer will mandate a gene vaccine.
    Small companies are less likely to comply since they have less than 100 employees and it shows good truck drivers are hard to get. Most people are popping too many pills to pass a DOT drug test.

    Now they have to pay truck drivers more to get them to work. Supply and demand.

    this is not related to the US delivery issues at all, you are lying by omission. Your issues are because of striking workers... goooo unions

    No you were clearly lying when you said your shortage of drivers was the result of vaccine mandates. Shall I pretend to be surprised?

    Did you actually see the numbers? about 8% of companies are requiring vax, the others not because they think it a recruitment plus to NOT force vax on folks.

    But for someone as STUPID as you, reading difficulties are the least of your problems.

    Now you are lying about that, I never said that. Go back in the thread and c&p where I said it if you are not lying.

    Some call it the bottleneck of shipping. For some strange reason there is no shortage of imports to supply businesses with goods, yet there seems to be little incentive to ship them to their destinations.

    The corporate news media is blaming the pandemic even though lockdown restrictions are a distant memory to most. It is a ridiculous excuse for price gouging because that is what is happening.

    The shortages are intentional. Capitalism isn't that inefficient.
    Obviously there is no shortage, artificial or real, of conspiracies.

    What does the truck drivers union say? What does the Port Authority say? What do truck drivers say?
