I'm sure Biden is behind the problem.

Yes.

Though, in fairness to Trump, policies well before he was in office during the Obama and Bush Jr. years are also to blame.

Blaming any one person or administration is pointless...

You can only kick cans down the road for so long.

Not this time. Biden declaring war on fossil fuels was the start of the problem.



Unless you are buying items from your local farmer's market or the like
a trucker had a hand in delivering that item, and even if Farmer John is selling his own wares a trucker transported the fertilizer and plant food he used to grow his corn.


Trucks burn fuel, most of them diesel that has went up more than gasoline.
Unfortunately even though Biden wants oil companies to do their patriotic duty and cut prices they aren't going to. Hopefully trucking companies will be patriotic and take increased expenses out of profits to help inflation. We should also ask for drivers who aren't owner operators to voluntarily take pay cuts to share increased fuel cost with their employers.


Let us do some easy math, for simplicity let us say diesel is up an average of $3 a gallon from Trump era averages. The average big rig gets 6 MPG.
So it cost 50 cents a mile to hail freight compared to what it used to. Instead of fuel surcharges, extra expense factoring with mark ups, take all that away.


Trucking companies, owner operators, contract drivers, and drivers paid by the hour need to be patriots and help stop inflation.


My plan is simple, it is like revenue sharing in the NFL. It cost 50 cents a mile more to operate a big rig, to help stop inflation that 50 cents needs to come out of a combination of company profits and driver compensation.


Trucking company eats 50% of lost profits, the remaining 50% is split between the drivers. Owner operators take a huge hit, but as Obama said
"You didn't build that" Who the hell is more of a parasite than a self employed trucker or a trucking company, according to Obama?


Without the federal highway system they have nothing, who gives a crap
about all the fuel taxes they pay. As far as the truckers who are employees, screw them to. Especially the hourly ones, they get paid to sit it traffic jams, maybe even getting overtime. Everyone one else could be late getting to work, getting to an appointment or missing dinner. The dude in the big rig is eating a burger and fries sitting there making $35 an hour,
his gold bricking ass can do his part.

More BS that is cover for inept an President and administration. Any policy that aligns with George Soros and his band of globalist filth is bad for the United States. America first policy is what we need, the buck stops with the President.

Understand, Ralph. Between the timing of this opportunity with the current Economy, and how much longer you wish to work...understandably a no-go for you.

You people are fucking insane.

Did you not read where I immediately blamed the previous Democrat administration that Biden was a part of?

Just got my car insurance renewal, up 30% from 6 months ago. Same vehicle, same coverage, last moving violation I got was 1990, never caused an accident or filed a comp claim. What line do I get in for that 8.6% annual inflation?

The Romans got to the point where the government refused to accept their own currency for taxes. This could soom happen here, bitcoin?

Recent article calculated that "all the money in
the world" totals $40 trillion. The federal gov recently wanted to print $6 trillion (according to Biden it was going to be a "once in a generation thing" , yea right, put that in writing). If they did that (Manchin stopped it) that would mean all of our saving would immediately be worth 15% less.

No I believe that I am spot on, your policy is 100% George Soros and has about as much value as spit. I do not always take sides on all threads, but you always side with the Soros talking points.

Went grocery shopping yesterday. 18 eggs for $5.69. Same eggs were less than half that during the prior administration.



Went by the local shell station on the way, regular gasoline was $4.79 a gallon. An hour later the same station had bumped it up to $4.93. Let's go Brandon!!!

18ct eggs only $3.59 here, but as I recall I checked a while back when somebody mentioned eggs and they were $2.59, that could not have been more than a year ago, WTF?
