I get sick of reading this shit;

"Thanks to COVID-19, the freight industry collapsed, and shipping companies reduced their capacities,” MacCuaig explained."

Except that is nothing but a fucking lie. Nobody got any kind of severe covid19 except old retired people. Everyone else just had a bad cold for a week and in fact 75% of the population were completely asymptomatic so how the fuck does that collapse an entire industry. It is bullshit. The collapse is being orchested and we need names.

The freight industry collapsed because they screwed people over with terrible pay and conditions and thought they could keep using cheap migrants as the experienced people quit.

It isn't even real for the most part. Just constant propaganda and fear mongering. Shipping companies are doing fine. UPS just posted record profits. No-one reduced capacity because shipping volume skyrocketed as everyone avoided shops and bought online.
