Nothing to do with mary-jane, but an interesting take on truck driver shortage reasons.
I get it Krystal Ball is a Bernie supporter, but truckers, is there any fire behind that smoke?
My brother did one of those lease to own deals back in the 80's. Got out of it after realizing the company he worked for (a national moving company) was providing him enough work to make the payment on the tractor without much leftover. Other little brother and I rented out his house while he was on the road so he didn't lose it. When he got out of that gig, he got a short haul job doing dirt and hazmat for an actual wage or getting paid by the ton/mile in one case.
There's more than a little truth in her story I think. It's likely worse now than when he was in that business. Eventually, he got a transit company job so he could get a retirement.
