When are the truckers arriving?

Boy I sure wish I was smart enough to drive a truck and do research online. Very specialized industry, totally irreplaceable workforce. I mean if they threaten to quit what will we ever do?

I saw one kindly gentleman on television last night… he cried out “It’s about our freedom! Our freedom of charter and rights!”

I’m sure he meant the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which he may not have had time to read while researching online, but anyone would make the same mistake at such an emotional moment in their life.

The only way to avoid any risk would be to have each player locked in a biodome growing their own food. The first 80% of results come from 20% of inputs. To get the last 20% of results requires 80% more effort hence the biodome.

This shows true with vaccines as well. To get the last 20% vaccinated will require much more effort than the first 80%

Rogan claimed 50k truckers were coming in his podcast. LOL!!!

I knew this was not a trucker protest when I didn't see a single turban.
Over 60% of the trucking industry is Punjabi.

They were out in full force when they were protesting on Saturday.
But I guess earning a living is more important than this vaccine mandate.

They where protesting unsafe highway conditions.

Hundreds of British Columbia truckers took to the roads in Metro Vancouver on Saturday to protest what they say is poor highway maintenance and dangerous driving conditions.

An estimated 150 big rigs gathered in Surrey on Saturday morning before proceeding in a convoy to downtown Vancouver.

“We’re going to light a candle there in the memory of all the truck drivers who have lost their lives on the highways, who have gone to earn bread for their families but did not make it home because of the highway conditions,” said Vijaydeep Sahasi, president of the West Coast Trucking Association.

The amount of fucking idiots I saw posting on Saturday talking about “OHHHH MSM LIAR PROTEST IS 4 FREEDOM”
Like no you fucking idiots, it’s about the road conditions. Not everything is a fucking conspiracy by the media. Literally 9 seconds of reading would tell you what it’s about, or listening to a single person in the convoys interview, but it’s easier to read a headline and consider yourself victimized.

Just had a funny conversation with someone.

"Friend got covid and gave it to his whole family. Son in ICU.

Son and wife didn't get vaccine.

But wife is ok, no problem at all"

Fully vaccinated, think vaccines are amazing etc. was always onboard with them moreso because they limit my lifestyle but I was never opposed to vaccines. I may have had some questions but the second I got my notification was more than happy to take the shot.

However it’s quite the assumption my case would have been any worse without one given I haven’t been sick once in like 15 years and the odds of having a serious case were next to nothing even before omicron.

Someone mentioned before “statistics don’t really matter when it’s your young child who can’t breathe” and I agree completely.

However, the odds of me ever having a serious case even prior to vaccination were incredibly slim. I’m in basically the lower risk group, low risk lifestyle. Live fairly healthy, can afford vitamins, supplement, go for Semi annual blood work, I know T cells and other indicators are good etc.

It’s not just a coincidence my case was mild, That’s the norm.

We’ve gotten completely away from actually looking at the numbers and have just started living through anecdotes of hearsay

Since I wasn't sure about the accuracy of the statement so I weaponized my autism and checked the numbers. Here is my study.

Oh, and in honour of Schneider's transition to a conservative comedian, I have adorned my rigorous study with images from his 2002 gender-bending classic "The Hot Chick".

lol, someone coined #FluTruxKlan.

MAGA hats, confederate flags, and holocaust references. All by the people who claim "ThE lEfT hAvE nO jObS". Stupid fucking idiots.

A good friend of mine who is a truck driver says he has seen zero change in truck traffic.

That's because there are 420,000 commercial trucks in Canada, and 0.00036% of them are in a line up demanding dumb things.

Rob Schneider has been antivax long before covid.

Yikes, I guess dentists interfere with her freedom too.

whitev70r 01-28-2022 03:09 PM

Damn ... that's a long ass convoy ... I mean traffic jam. Why would people voluntarily drive into a traffic jam ??? Imagine the time idling.

I was fine with it until the crayzies jumped onto the convoy. I really didn't think the government needed to pick a huge fight with truckers when their work didn't involve a whole lot of interaction with other people. So go ahead and peacefully protest but now ... all the antivaxxers, freedom fighters are coming out of the closet and saying, 'We love truckers!'

I have a friend from high school on facebook who is a trucker and posts stuff like this (I've posted his memes before too)

I was hoping he'd be in the convoy so I could get some comedic gold, but he hasn't posted in a week FeelsBadMan

Hondaracer bro, why aren't you with the convoy?! C'mon man, put your 'money where your mouth is' instead of typing on a forum.

I seen this one too... it blows my mind... like... is that supposed to be a positive thing? Besides the ridiculousness of saying any PM of Canada is a dictator by even the remotest sense of the word... it's somehow cooler to have a badass dictator? I don't get it even after excusing the dictator part.

Oh yah cool our dictator is fearsome and more likely to kill us indiscriminately instead of be a candyass... weeeeee winninggggg
