The Pentagon on Monday extended the National Guard’s deployment in Washington, D.C., following the Capitol Police Board’s emergency request in response to a trucker convoy protesting COVID-19 mandates over the weekend.
These truckers who are opposed to vaccine mandates and basic public health measures seem to forget that since the days of C.W McCall on 8-track a full medical work up is required to drive for a firm. I doubt many of these folks complained about it infringing on their freedom. Instead they ought to be fighting for better working conditions and reducing the shortage of truckers and maybe folks would listen and support their movement, well except for Fox who get all upset when workers not CEOs demand a modicum of agency.
i have asked on variousFB pages, when were you ever forced to wear a mask or get vaxxed…dead silence…i also ask why do you wear a seat-belt…or strap your kid into a restraining device…why do you fix the brakes on your vehicle???why do personell in hospitals wear masks at work…i also say, i wear a mask to protect ‘myself’ from whatever…i’m too polite to ‘protect myself from idiots like you’.
How do these jerks driving the trucks in this convoy make a living? The sure as hell aren’t making any today. And equally sure, they are aggravating our nations supply-chain issues since they are not hauling cargo and there is a nationwide shortage of qualified truck drivers.
One more example of the selfish “me first” attitude of the right.
Which would be as sad as it is funny - right up until another one of these yall’queda jihadists shoots up another school or church because they don’t feel heard.
The truckers should be protesting fuel price gouging instead of vaccine mandates. I’d think wallets and bank accounts are a little more important than the stupid political statement of refusing to get a needle in the arm to protect your life and the lives of your family.
Well, apparently, half of the donations which kept the Canadian truckers’ protest going came from America, so I imagine there’s always some dark money sources available for anyone who’ll protest any non-right-wing government.
Back in 2018 there was a measles outbreak in an orthodox Jewish neighborhood, South Williamsburg something quite rare, but then again the unvaccinated. The city health department went door to door to get these folks vaccinated as well as enlisting Rabbis and members of the community to mitigate it.
The “champ” playing a tough guy with a silver spoon in his mouth has a public meltdown at of all places the Eisenhower museum who was no friend to fascists like him.
