Good news! With the tarriffs throwing cold water on freight all across the US, we won't need as many truck drivers!
...I really wish I was joking, but the fiance is OTR and freight has already slowed for him. Here's an article from February that talks about how it was already slower than expected.
Ouch. Things are about to get real harsh before they get worse. I hope you are prepared.
It's been speculated that Trump is doing this to prepare for the drop in cargo transport in the next few days. Me, I have doubts because nothing that Trump has said or done so far makes me believe that he or his sycophants are intellectually capable of that kind of rational planning. What do you think?
He has no goddamned clue what he's doing. Whoever is speculating that is welcome to point to even one time where Trump prepared to keep people from economic harm in such a fashion, but I've only ever seen him walk things back, not actually insulate someone from harm.
