Let’s fix the trucking part of the supply chain mess…

…by fucking it up even more.


Report: White House Weighs Deploying National Guard to Confront Supply Chain Crisis While Pete Buttigieg Is MIA
As part of the review, White House officials have studied what kinds of driver’s licenses are held by National Guard members and if they would be sufficient to deploy them as truckers without hurting their ability to fulfill their existing responsibilities to the guard, the people said.


So these morons — accustomed to demanding the NatGuard pull their chestnuts (emphasis on “nuts”) out of the fire — want to find who has a CDL, and suddenly pull them off their routes — WTF do they think people with CDLs are doing now? — to work other routes. It’ll be interesting to see what, or rather whose, cargo gets prioritized; big campaign donors, I expect.

We’ve seen this in the medical field, too. As hospital staffing craters, idiot governors call up NG medical personnel to work selected locations, ignoring the fact that medical personnel were probably already working other locations for their real jobs.

Another point to consider: What are these proposed Guard truckers supposed to be driving? Will they call up independent owner/operators and require them to bring their own rigs? Would they nationalize the fleets of trucking companies?

If you found this post useful, please consider dropping something in my tip jar. I could really use the money, what with new cell phone, ISP bills, SSL certificate, and general life expenses.Click here to donate via PayPal.
