Truckers haven’t forgotten the way they teamed up with veterans and bikers to ride for the Constitution back when Barack Obama was soiling the White House. Today, they’re standing their ground over unconstitutional and heavy handed imperial palace vaccine mandates. Instead of complying, they decided to simply cancel the government contracts.
Truckers make a stand
Over at uber-liberal Politico, they’re so rattled by the rebellious truckers that their coverage of the story starts by going for the jugular of American Trucking Association Executive Vice President for Advocacy, Bill Sullivan, without saying who he is beyond his last name.
“Sullivan’s remarks are among the sharpest warnings yet from the business community about the residual impacts of the vaccine mandate,” their article begins. They frantically spin it like a top from there. Politico never does get around to saying who this mysterious “Sullivan” is. Jen Psaki coming down with covid blows the rest of their defense right out the door and down the driveway, like a home invader in Florida.
The teamsters told them to take the jab mandates and stick them where it gives the most pleasure. It might, Bill Sullivan suggests, “be better to cancel all government contracts rather than to fire the number of truckers necessary to comply with Biden’s COVID mandates.” Problem solved. Let the Pentagon carry their own missiles. Money isn’t everything.
“Government contracts may be lucrative, but they are already 80,000 truck drivers below capacity.” Do you want a Grinchy Christmas?
Truckers have more than enough to keep them busy without hauling things around for the palace. Shipping only private freight would “save them from firing 50% of the drivers currently working.” Besides, they snark, “it’s better to cripple the federal government than private enterprise.”
Give His Wisdom Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. a little taste of his own medicine. The truck drivers didn’t like Joe Biden much in the Obama years but at least he stayed behind the scenes, quietly peddling his influence to the highest bidder.
Ease supply line crisis
Sure the idea truckers came up with will “hurt our military complex, but sooner or later, Biden’s bosses will be forced to give in and load a speech on his teleprompter reversing the policy.” The deciding factor is “without hauling for the government, it would free up more drivers to ease the supply line crisis.”
It’s all the fault of Biden’s handlers. Bill Sullivan is “confident, but with heavy heart recognize a vaccine mandate will mean less capacity for the government as a customer of freight. It has the potential to seriously impact military readiness.”
UPS, FedEx, and Amazon, all represented by the Cargo Airline Association, have been begging the palace for more time. They want to put the jab mandate on the back burner until next year.
As noted by Stephen Alterman, president of the CAA, “as everyone enters their high season, the Administration’s corporate COVID-19 vaccine mandate for government contractors threatens to be a major stumbling block in servicing our customers during the Holidays.” The truckers have forced the issue.
When Jen Psaki heard about the rebellion threatened by the truckers, she shrugged it off, claiming “there were no plans to change the timeline.” The palace insists “that the spread of Covid-19 among unvaccinated employees — not the vaccine requirement — was one of the biggest potential disruptions of services these companies face.”
Before the ink was dry on the printed copies of the report, Fully vaccinated and heavily masked Jen Psaki was diagnosed as Covid positive, proving the vaccine doesn’t work in the first place. “This power grab is sweeping in its scope,” the lawsuit filed by 10 different states reads.
