People are getting tired of the corporate abuse....hats off to them.



Monday mornings are the busiest at any port, but this past one in Seattle the trucks were parked. Drivers spanning the major companies that do the most business in the Puget Sound simply turned off the engines, got out of their cabs, and stopped hauling. They had somewhere else they needed to be.

Steely determination led roughly 150 port drivers to sacrifice income and risk retaliation to make the hour-and-a-half trek to swarm the State Capitol in Olympia.

Good for the truckers. If anyone can make commerce come to a standstill the truckers can.
Also good to see that the police sided with the truckers and testified on their behalf.

I think the globalists are already one step ahead. No doubt this is why the Mexican truckers are already on our nation's highways, to diffuse the impact of an American trucking strike.
