| #10 Not a lot about the strike in the mainstream media. For example, searching CNN for "oakland truckers strike" returns zip. OK, not exactly zip, but the 2 results are Day 3 of the Republican National Convention in 2020 and an article on the Occupy movement from 2011. As Frank said, this is all about AB5 that essentially bans independent contractors. |

| #7 ^ Upside: The military will be too busy trying to keep the blue cities fed to do much of anything about the rest of the populace. They will get to experience firsthand how docile, cooperative and grateful the inner-city dwellers are. Think Soylent Green. |

| #6 I remember the Perfect Storm movie and how devastating the consequences were. It feels like this is yet another component that is bringing aspects of a New Great Depression to the US with a far greater urban/unskilled population that is far more violent and armed that the 1930's. The high cost/low net profit of inner-city retail will lead to large scale closures of many supermarkets if this continues, as will the insane energy starvation the Puppet Show zealots are driving in the most energy rich nation on earth. IF food deserts form in the deeply feral-youth infested blue cities it will produce very nasty predation in our suburbs I fear, tragically but predictably visible as apparent racial conflict. Exactly the kind of manufactured predicate to garner support from the woke left for tyrannical responses by the federal government. This feels almost like a tabletop exercise held somewhere near Smoke Bomb Hill, but with real enactors, in real time. Why is that? |

| #2 Is this beginning to feel like the strikes in the UK in the early 1970s that brought down the Edward Heath government and (dare we hope?) paved the way for? Margaret Thatcher |
