It may seem spiteful but I live in Erie, PA and I am pretty sure me and my family would survive if we didn't get food from other "red" counties. We grow some food on our small plot of land (and sell our extra locally) but what about those folks that think their food magically comes from the back room of the super Walmart?

I was calling for a nationwide workers protest that shuts down commerce on day 2. I was shot down on here. You want the story to be on the front page of every news outlet, there it is.

Keep sharing. Sometimes it takes a lot of work to get noticed

Truckers are planning to strike on major cities on the 29th I believe so you might get your wish.

I will add this point you’re not seeing and take it from me as a former FedEx employee that went through the last 4 years of this season, this is the single heaviest time of the year. All trucks and warehouse workers are already on mandatory 6 day to possibly 7 day work weeks working overtime during those shifts as well and they plan to do this through thanksgiving when the stores get bought out of both food and Black Friday/cyber Monday deals. If there was a time this could work that week would be it, it could very well set the system weeks behind schedule and that’s not even adding the extra load covid has added to the delivery system already.

The cities should not have the last word on anything. I'm wondering..... what if the red areas also quit paying taxes? No taxation without representation type deal. I did not vote for Harris, because we all know it'll happen. I do not know anyone that did. I watched thousands of people go see Trump numerous times. I think these cities that are dictating my children's future need a wake up call. I hope the truckers do go on strike. I hope the cattle ranchers and poultry farmers raise their prices for cities. The tankers shouldn't supply the fuel that they all hate so bad. Let them turn to their Democrat lead leaders.....see how that turns out.

hmm. im against only in so much as i like more tax payers, paying.

i like the economy to do well and to see jobs and wealth.

those that think food appears in a box in a store.

can continue to pay the liberal grocers of the world 'extra' for their feelings.

i consider that a self-regulating system.

i once have some lib colleagues at work complain to me that they

spend almost over 2000/m on food from the 'special' stores.

you know. the woke ones.

and i was like 'that sucks. its almost like we should all grow our own food on our own properties...'

and they made that face like 'how dare you spit on our narrative'

my lulz

Massive global food shortages are right around the corner anyway. A good place to keep up with the crop loss situation is:

Buy seeds and learn how to grow some basics. Microgreens are easy, cheap, fast, nutritious and can grow on a window sill year round.

Do you realize how much our infrastructure depends on truckers? I don't think you do. It will spread. Oil and gas will be next.

Oh yeah for sure. Look at the vote map by district. Only blue is suburbs and large city.

Disrupt their food supply and the draconian measures they live under plus the police defunding.. Shit would get real real quick.

You could literally take out a few things , hypothetically.. like cell towers, electricity grid, and a few strategic roadways and the cities would be fucked.

You can also take out a raw water conduit if you know how.

Massive, massive chaos

That would bankrupt our farms. Their profits are razor thin as it is
