They are claiming it is now about to become a big deal in the US too. The narrative says a shortage of truck drivers is causing a supply chain bottleneck at the docks which are swamped with uncollected containers that are preventing newly arriving container ships from unloading.

The question has to be, why is there this sudden shortage of drivers now, on both sides of the Atlantic? In Britain they are blaming it on Brexit but of course there was no Brexit here in the US so what are they up to?

Sabotage of the petrol dollar.

The Great Reset.

DEPOPULATION.

Same problem across Europe so definitely not brexit.

More that it's a horrible job and companies haven't taken that into account with wages and conditions. They thought they could just keep stealing workers from poorer counties and not make the job appealing to people at home or train their own staff up.

Someone caught a British company recently advertising a driver job for €2k a month in Eastern Europe when they are paying British drivers up to £50K a year for the same thing. They are doing this shit now while at the same moaning about a shortage and brexit.

I read a driver just this summer saying he was giving up because he had to sleep in his cab with no air con (because he'd have to leave the engine on which is bad for the environment) and all the windows shut to prevent muggers and it was impossible. This is simple stuff which should have been fixed long ago but they didn't have to because they were able to rely on a transient, temporary workforce with covid-19 restrictions have killed off.

If this was happening because it is s horrible job it would have already happened decades ago. How was there no shortages this time last year? I think this is being manufactured and it has something to do with extending the plandemic.

It's too do with the covid regs making people not want to leave their homes on top of all the other horrible stuff.

Most countries in Europe want you to do multiple tests or have a vax pass to cross boarders. Every additional bit of admin and bureaucracy makes more people think "fuck it".
