The good news is that the shutdown in Chinese container shipping will give them plenty of time to grind through Duolingo

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Tramp: You must have good English!
99.99999999% of Tramp voters: ineligible to work as truck drivers
So let me see if I got this correct here now.....
The immigrants are taking our jobs.
Get rid of illegal immigrants and people assumed to be illegal immigrants.
Lose field workers.
Get rid of non English speakers
Lose transport and logistics team.
????
Profit!.....??
I think the next part is that citizens would take those jobs instead of the immigrants, but we won’t work for those wages and the companies are just fine not hiring more people. So, it’s really a lose-lose thing.
Who would have guess that my English degree will be a prerequisite to become a truck driver.
They'll have you writing poems to be a ditch digger.
Not if they're autistic.

No, that's French.
If there's one thing I know about English majors, it's that they enjoy all words jokes.
The secret ingredient is racism
I had business with a guy from Texas once. Definitely not an immigrant, but nth generation American. I am not sure if what he spoke would qualify as "English" even in the remotest sense. I had to resort to get his words in writing in order to understand them.
