Try cooking during a lunch rush. You have to be very organized, detail oriented, maintain good customer relations, and not get overwhelmed when the wheel fills up with tickets. It's a very different skill set from driving a truck. I've done both and for my money cooking during a lunch rush is far more difficult.

And driving a Truck is not a tough skill set. My father did it for a while after he retired from his real job.


If it were doable, it would already be done.

Well they hate blue collar workers now, so I guess that's not surprising.

Haven't read the last 10 pages, but

1) highway diesel prices have been decreasing since 2018
2) fracking only reduces oil prices IF oil prices are already high enough to justify the expense of the fracking process ((https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/...sel-prices.php))
3) how does a "strike" in 2 weeks impact Biden at all? This is still Trump's America.

Fracking has drastically reduced the cost of natural gas which in turn has reduced price pressure on oil to the extent they are direct substitutes for one another.

Rumor has it, (from a reputable far right website) that a group calling itself "Morons for Trump" will be striking on January first, or second, if the Waffle House parking lots gets overcrowded. These Patriots will be assembling a caravan to protest the failures of Trump's campaign, Trump's own failures, and then a "blame rally" to be held at Biden campaign offices everywhere. It will be a chance for Trumpers to show off their superior understanding of politics not to mention their superior caravan assembling skills.

There will be more good humor here on CD for some time to come, I hope I can have some good belly laughs at the Trump''s expense, after all, the best compliment to pay a clown is your laughs..
