My heart bleeds purple peanut butter.
Oh and my little friends violin
Aha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha… Suffer, you stupid tool.
If only someone had told him the consequences of voting for Trump
This is just like Chinese Cultural Revolution. That destroyed their economy and it took them a few decades to rebuild.
It is easier to destroy but hard to build…I hope they learned their lesson.
Mao wanted people to smelt iron in their backyards, Trump wants people to raise chickens in their backyards.
Yep this is “Trump’s Great Leap Forward” and we should start referring to it as such.
It’d be a banger if the average asshole in America wasn’t so stupid that they’d read that as a positive.
We are going to eat tree barks
“Heartbreak” isn’t really the word I’d use here lol
Well, it can be heartbreaking to realize your intelligence equals that of a toaster.
can’t be heartbreaking if you don’t have a heart
Can we start vetting sources a bit better?
What is this site?
The site is hosted in Iceland. Whois link
It’s bias is extreme left. It is marked as a questionable source. Mediabiasfactcheck link
It does not disclose ownership or funding sources. They do not provide sources for their articles.
Zero fucking sympathy and this is just the beginning of the US collapse. There will be plenty of used trucks and trailers.
Fuller runs Freightwaves. He’s all over the place prognosticating the shipping and logistics community.
I could find no source for the OP post other than the linked popup “news” site.
Fuller is more recently quoted as saying the “recession” (the market downturn due to trump’s idiotic knee-jerk tariff implementation) is over and expecting a market change.
Dude’s an idiot, just another CEO analyst always trying to put a positive spin on any negative event to do with his industry.
Freightwaves also does the majority of its business selling pay for play to T&L business owners to be talking heads on podcasts, interviews, the you tubes and similar.
This is probably a play so that people don’t think they’re giving money to an org that’s killing their business
“FreightWaves is the most trusted provider of global supply chain market intelligence. Our high-frequency price, demand, and capacity data and analysis allow our customers to benchmark, analyze, monitor and forecast the global physical economy.”
Ironic. Although I guess their data wouldn’t be very good at analyzing someone picking up the economy, turning it upside down and giving it a good shake.
It’s disheartening that no one in this comment section applied some critical reading skills and questioned this source.
I live in SoCal and the truck traffic coming out of L.A. is substantially down. Before the felon’s tariffs truck traffic would be so dense it would take miles to get over to the right lane to exit the freeway. Now traffic’s way down to maybe 2/3 of what it was. The lack of container ships in West Coast ports has been well documented.
No matter what you think of the source, the big drop in freight traffic is real. CEOs of trucking companies should be seriously alarmed. Maybe even some Magats are questioning their choice in the last election.
Will you please explain?
The source is garbage. The news site is rated as being Mixed Factual reporting. They don’t identify who funds them, and they don’t detail their sources.
They are left leaning and primarily lean in to discredit Trump. Trump does a good enough job discrediting himself without the need to fabricate or embelish stories to make him look bad. This “feel good” bullshit is the same sort of stuff that the right does to capture their viewers and feed them “alternative truth”. Be better. Check your sources, and check whether this is reliable information.
I’m not heartbroken. I’m perfectly OK to see this asshole living in a refrigerator box under an overpass.
I did not vote for a neutron bomb to wipe out supply chains and small businesses…
Yes you did jackass. People like him are the reason I don’t have a job anymore.
Hey, be fair to the guy. He only voted for all the ways Trump promised to hurt the people he didn’t like, not for the ways Trump promised to hurt him.
Sucks, bro. Sorry. I tried to stop this.
…voting for business savvy…
Did this guy sleep through Trump’s first term? Things are worse now than it was then but he messed things up the first time too.
The article explains the differences. In the first term tariffs were targeted and rolled out slowly. The person in the article expected the same in Trump’s second term.
The first term tariffs also caused reciprocal tariffs to be put in place that caused short term ($27B from mid 2018 to 2019) and long term damage to our agriculture industries by enabling other countries to develop their own industrial base to replace the US. Trump ended up bailing out US farmers with packages that equalled 92% of that the tariffs brought in.
I stand by my first statement. The farmer wasn’t paying attention to the first term.
People have very short memories.
