Go to Venezuela
Left wing politics in Venezuela has made a half pound of chop meat cost $120..lol
Only the government workers can afford them. They get auto raises..
In Romania where my good friend is from.
They put carbon fees on chicken coups and taxed the eggs. Now they can't afford to buy them. They go to the store to buy 2 or 3 individual eggs and share them with there family.
They are kicking down doors when they catch people giving away eggs to the hungry. Taxes to the government are more important then feeding the hungry..
Go Bernie..lol lol lol
Bullshit hype reporting by TYT. The rules advanced by the Senate version of the bill would allow a 73 hour weekly work period in which drivers could drive (versus do non-driving duties/work) versus 70 hours *only* if using the 34-hour reset if the DOT reinstates an bothersome provision to the 34-hour restart that the DOT implemented in 2013 without adequate testing of whether the provision would be cost effective.Quote:

Chalk it up to piss-pour sensationalist journalism.
In any event, over-the-road (OTR) drivers like myself won't be as affected by this as much dedicated route drivers, the OTR drivers don't take those 34-hour resets nearly as often. But a dedicated route driver, who usually drives hard for five days, then takes 2 days off at home, would use that extra 3 hours each week. And that extra time can come in super handy to get home before their weekly time limit runs out.
Also, the examples of driver fatigue causing horrible accidents that have been brought up by opponents of this rule change, as well as an disputed provision about the 34-hour reset that libs want were cases were the drivers completely ignore the rules about hours of service and/or driving while fatigued. And grievously so.
http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/congr...b0a06d58052ee8
And the proposed changes in the seperate Senate and Houses bills they are bitching about wouldn't do a damn thing to prevent that kind of stupidity.
Do you have sleep apnea? Is it a pervasive as I've read within the trucker community?Quote:

We are much closer to Venezuela then u think your Highness..
None the less..
It just proves the point almost everything socialists do makes food and energy more difficult. More unemployment ect ect..just to a varied amount of degrees..
Why would we want any of it here or not reverse what is here..
Duh!!!
i dont even think you can comprehend what you're saying.
you should probably go a bit lighter on the rock homie.
and it could never happen here bc we are not a 3rd world country. and for as fucked up and corrupt our government is, it doesn't hold a candle to the crazy shit that happens in south america, including venezuela
Your either young and dont have a clue of what's going on due to being nieve.
Your young and think this economic growth is normal. Ugh, a whoping 3% growth would be gangbusters. Lol I prefer 5%.
Your younf and went to public school.
Your a globalist and like legal slavery.
Your an idiot.
Your a mumbles dupe, then please reread the previous sentence.
I don't know how pervasive it is, but my guess is that it is more common among truckers than the general population because the job and over-the-road environment aren't conducive to a healthy lifestyle.Quote:

And when I balked at buying one because I didn't have insurance at the time, they immediately pressed for me to buy a used one from them for $900. I begged that off, and within an hour at home found a similar new one through a company on the web for less than $600.
Also, I later learned from another sleep center in another city that the place where I got diagones did the testing in a way that would positively bias the results towards showing sleep apnea. And I could go to another sleep center instead of going back to those fraudsters. But because I am still quite overweight, I would need to get tested *each* year, and that would run about $1200, I just gut it out by using the $600 machine I already have versus deal with the hassle of getting tested each year.
That being said, I personally know some drivers who have sleep apnea, and one of them was a trainer I went out with for about 6 weeks. But he denied having it -- and went to a doctor who gave him a clean DOT exam -- despite that he snored and snorted like a stuck pig each time he went on break. And even semi-dozed at the wheel quite often, hunched over it like Scrooge McDuck guarding a pot of gold. I was tempted to record him snoring and snorting during his sleep to show him what he sounded like, but I figured that he knew he had it and just didn't care. So why try to rock a boat when it has already run aground on the rocks.
So, bottom line: Sleep apnea is a valid concern in the industry, but the doctors working in the business have the opportunity to line their pockets with unwarranted positive diagnoses given that DOT regulations send them a steady supply of customers whose livelihoods depend upon that doctor's evaluation of their condition.

In September 2012, singer Fiona Apple was arrested at a checkpoint for possession of small amounts of marijuana and hashish, and spent the night in jail there. A few weeks later, a Nelly tour bus was stopped at the same checkpoint, and ten pounds of marijuana were found on the bus along with heroin and a loaded gun. The singer was not arrested, but a member of his entourage was. Previously, musicians Snoop Dogg and Willie Nelson as well as actor Armie Hammer had all been arrested separately for drug possession in Sierra Blanca.
Yeah, but since the federal government stopped reimbursing the town for jailing those caught with the Jane, the sheriff there ixnayed that policy because it got too expensive for the town.Quote:

So, blame it on the fed gov for the stupid policy of encouraging local law enforcement to fucking harass people over the matter!
P.S. In my trucking travels over the past few years, I would go through that checkpoint a few times a year. And every time until sometime last year, I would see the border police/cops searching someone's vehicle, their shit from their truck laid out on the pavement. What a fucking waste of time! Glad that shit has stopped.

No he's not it's just another example of the media taking him out of context. It's really been incredible to watch the establishment and media rig the primary for Hillary.
Anywho here's a explanation of how they took Bernie out of context.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oc3WioJEkFY
It would be incredible if they didn't indict Hillary, how can they not?
Today in the NYT Bernie penned a dire warning to the American people. The internet has been abuzz over it.
This is up there with Eisenhower's farewell address imo. We didn't listen then and we probably won't listen now.

There was a time when blatant proof of rigged elections was a big deal, not any more. I doubt this covers 1% of the total rigging nationwide.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eB3SWBDYung
If Hillary skates then democracy is dead period! Only a fool would think Trump has a chance.
Do the rich and powerful decide who's POTUS or do the voters? We'll find out soon and there'll be no gray area, no way to spin it.
If we've lost our democracy we'll probably never get it back. Nothing's a big deal anymore, nothing.
Sure feels like we have two Republican parties and all the media has turned into variations of FOX News and Infowars.

re: the election in 2000.
Note: *****Druff if Hillary's the official nominee please delete this thread, thx.*****
The 2000 election wasn't fixed from the start. The opportunity for republicans to pull some last minute shady shit popped up and that's what they did. The people weren't on to FOX News or the C.E.C. then. The republican party hadn't outed themselves as bona-fide sellouts. That would occur shortly after as we all know.
This year there's premeditated rigging almost without exception. Private planes meeting at airports etc.
Biased media w/o exception. This year's different ainec. Nobody likes Hillary, where the fuck are her supporters? It's not adding up, the exit polls are off MOE in favor of Hillary all over the place. UNREPORTED
Everyone and their uncle wasn't under multiple federal investigations and the entire media without exception wouldn't of ignored it in 2000. This year is so fucking unprecedented it's almost like it's a movie and not real.
But yea the 2000 election will still be costing us 100 years from now.
Everyone's acting like Comey wants the Clinton's so bad but I'm not so sure. I think Lynch's peeps are the ones who will spare Clinrton.
Everyone's acting like since he was appointed by Bush he must really be after the Clintons. The Clinton's are Republicans in policy and there's this.
Oh yea, they're enemies.
I'm pretty sure HW Bush and Bill used to run around raising all kinds of money for "charity". It was probably the Clinton Foundation I'm to lazy to look.
edit: It was the Clinton Foundation, it says so right on the banner behind W. and Bill. I'm sure the Bush's got their cut.
*****Druff if Hillary's the official nominee please delete this thread, thx.*****

In today's political circus it's easy to get misdirected.
The first half hour will re-calibrate your political compass.
It goes down hill (no pun intended) after that, like blaming Jill Stein For Hillary's loss and showing to much Soros funded front groups. Fuck Hillary, no regrets whatsoever!
hagd.
buying this liberal politician shit is as stupid as buying the Trump shit
Somewhat true, we're fucked until we can bring a third party in to power. As it stands it's the people vs the corporations and billionaires. With the Citizens United and PBS/NPR decision the people lost the Dem party and the last sliver of the MSM. All we have now is some of the internet and I'm sure Trump's FCC nom. will take a weed whacker to that.Quote:

If the Dems were on our side they wouldn't vote for any Trump SCOTUS pick but they're on the corporate donors team so they'll play ball.
Here's all you need to know about him.
Surprise! A staunch defender of corporate crime, eventually we'll be subject to random warrantless searches of our homes and vehicles, a zero privacy full blown corporate security state he must be stopped. It'll be the "if you've got nothing to hide" era.Quote:
Gorsuch has all the right-wing credentials to be Trump’s selection. He is a reliable vote against abortion and for all manner of legal privileges and exemptions for religious groups and institutions; he is a proven defender of the police against democratic rights; and he has sided with businesses against consumers and workers in the vast majority of such cases he heard.
The judge comes from right-wing Republican stock. His mother, Anne Gorsuch Burford, was appointed administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency in 1981 by Ronald Reagan, and given the task of dismantling antipollution regulations. When the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives sought EPA records of how money in the so-called Superfund for cleaning up toxic waste was being spent, Gorsuch defied congressional subpoenas, was cited for contempt and was eventually forced to resign.

$19 trillion 970 billion so about $20 trillion at the start of Trump's term. Will we hit $30 T within four years?
Easily IMO, they'll hit $30 T while gutting Medicare, SS, Obamacare.
Huge surge in hunger and poverty
Huge surge in the prison population
Infastructure even worse
Less people w/ healthcare while costs skyrocket.
They'll gut education and skew the curriculum to the right.
Gut science and replace it w a bunch of corporate and bible bullshit
The whole world will hate us because of foreign policy
A rise in injured veterans while less will have access to healthcare as costs soar.
They'll loot the treasury and intentionally mismanage everything govt. and fuck over as many people as possible.
Then in eight years proclaim big govt sucks and we have to give everything to the corporations, bankers and billionaires to run aka privatize. The dumbed down flag waving religious freaks will of course gobble that shit up.
This is their plan, always has been i forgot what they call it.
Guess which side the corporate media will be on?
Then finally we arrive in Neoliberal hell for good
$20 T debt $61,548 debt per citizen
Fed revenue $3.3 T
MARK MY WORD
The truth about war.
