If 20% of truckers stopped taking loads to the NYC area that would hurt them.... I don't care if nothing gets delivered or not, I do want to see NYC feel some pain. NY State using "lawfare" to attack any business on the Right is a very big deal IMO.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.
Hochul tells NY businesses not to fear about Trump verdict: ‘Nothing to worry about’ BY LAUREN IRWIN - 02/18/24
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) addressed New York business owners in a new interview and told them there was “nothing to worry about” after former President Trump was hit with a $355 million fine and a ban on conducting business in New York for three years.
Hochul joined John Catsimatidis on “The Cats Roundtable” on WABC 770 AM, where she was asked if other New York businesspeople should be worried that if “they can do that to the former president, they can do that to anybody.”
“I think that this is really an extraordinary, unusual circumstance that the law-abiding and rule-following New Yorkers who are business people have nothing to worry about, because they’re very different than Donald Trump and his behavior,” Hochul responded.
A New York judge on Friday ordered Trump to pay the massive sum in penalties in a civil fraud case. The decision came just weeks after closing arguments wrapped up a months-long trial based on a suit brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) alleging Trump falsely altered his net worth to receive tax and insurance benefits.
The judge, Arthur Engoron, found Trump, the Trump Organization, top executives and his adult sons liable for fraud.
Hochul said there was no way she would overrule Engoron’s decision because “we need a clear separation of powers.” She added that “that’s what was envisioned by our Founding Fathers.”
The governor provided reassurance to New York businesses after the ruling. “By and large, they are honest people and they’re not trying to hide their assets and they’re following the rules,” she said of the people who own and conduct business in the New York City area.
“And so this judge determined that Donald Trump did not follow the rules. He was prosecuted and truly, the governor of the state of New York does not have a say in the size of a fine, and we want to make sure that we don’t have that level of interference,” she said.
Hochul top 5 dumbest governors in America. And that's a hard list to get on.
Yeah, dumb enough to get her stupid ass elected to The Governor of NY and will stay there as long as she wants.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.
As soon as they pay a little more some greedy chittbag will haul to NY. There's ALWAYS a few of those types around.
Yup, there are enough raghead outfits, ethnic Russians, and LTL companies....this is going nowhere.
This is only partially true. Trucking is pretty tight right now, so any interference will have an impact. Any amount of misery inflicted to these communist bastards is a good thing. Expect them to recruit the illegals to the trucking industry should this have a tangible impact. That will be their counter play.
This can be dealt with easily enough. I remember how striking coal miners fixed problems back in the day.
Again this does not have to be a 100% boycott to have an impact.... 25% would make a point.
The large carriers, mid sized carriers and even the small carriers will market to prospective drivers that they "do not do NYC". Carriers have been avoiding the city for decades. Most don't go there anyway. They deliver close, local NYC carriers move the freight in town. They're not going to shut down, they live there and the guy delivering stuff to Edison or Allentown will convince themselves it's not headed to NYC and they didn't deliver to NYC.
This is a nothingburger wrapped in vapor. The only people worked up about the boycott are people who either don't own/operate trucks (calling for the boycott) or don't understand how trucking works (those saying they'll report freight stolen if not delivered).
"No One's Got To Me... I Ain't Scared Of [bleep]" - NYC Trucker Boycott Leader 'Chicago Ray' Steps Down
Chicago Ray, the trucker who ignited the righteous anger of his fellow truckers and of millions of other Americans, has stepped down from his boycott leadership. Does that mean the end of the trucker boycott of New York City?
We the people know what happened to Chicago Ray. Despite his denials, the enforcers of the Deep State made a phone call or left a message under the windscreen wipers of his truck like, "Boycott Boy, you gonna have a bad accident before your haul is over." Or they made a call to his cell phone like, "If you don't end this boycott bullshit your family and home will be gone when you get back home."
You can almost see and hear those threats when Chicago Ray posted, "I took that video down from Friday because it went viral and my Grandson seen it on Tik Tok."
Newsweek reported Chicago Ray took down his original post and posted a new one on Monday "in which he distanced himself from the boycott calls and stressed that he was not encouraging anyone to do anything." That post was also later deleted, but a screen grab of it was shared (with Newsweek) by the progressive MeidasTouch in which he said, "Just to be clear… I'm no figurehead of any movement..."
Newsweek also reported Chicago Ray said, "I'm not leading, nor have I encouraged, or am I encouraging anyone to do anything other than what they were doing prior to the ruling on Friday in New York City."
Does that sound like the way trucker Chicago Ray talks, or does it sound like someone dictating a statement to him?
