While good this is just a drop in the bucket. The number needs to be 10 times that to even begin to make a difference.

I'd say arrest the executives and hiring managers of the companies who hired those 7200 truck drivers. Then the problem is solved overnight because every single other illegal driver will be fired by Monday.

This is the Rubicon that's yet to be crossed. The so-called elite of America needs to start going to prison. Trump does not think he has the power to move against them, but the right wing is turning more against them every day. Reaganomics is dying.

The problem with the elite is that they no longer believe in noblesse oblige, and they've stopped seeing the common people as their duty. This was the goal of Ford v. Dodge Brothers, to make it suicide for a company to focus on doing good for the employees and not the moneyed class.

The big hurdle is going to be cutting out the middle man in critical industry. It makes no sense for the wholesaler to be making the most profit in a supply chain.

It wasn't a US Supreme Court decision, but a Michigan Supreme Court decision. In theory it should have no sway outside Michigan, but like Dante's Inferno, the decision and all the shareholder value fuckery downstream from it are part of corporate canon.

I've always wondered if the solution was an a different type of business entity where any objectives other than profits are laid out and disclosed. For example, if they stated from the very start, "our goal is do manufacture domestically and revitalize dying American towns," with an actual strategy and limits pre-defined. Knowing this, if people invested in it, then shareholder primacy would drive the company to adhere to their mission statement, not just profit.

"We invested in this company to manufacture domestically and now you've outsourced something," could then be actionable under similar mechanism to Dodge Bros. v. Ford. A way to redefine "shareholder value" for individual organizations seems more doable than a court changing the rules around existing companies.

And ask yourself, would you actually want it overturned? Have you seen any evidence that today's CEOs should have no shareholder accountability? "Oh, we put 100% of your retirement savings into DEI, reparations and shiet. No, you don't have any recourse." They don't make them like Henry Ford anymore.

I know that the labor unions take a run at it every so often, and the American Sustainable Business Council wants it gone, but the paradigm is going to have to shift and Free Soil Republicans and Labor Democrats are going to have to realize that the Commies and neoconservatives want both of them dead.

If the elites aren't going to better the lives of the peasantry in exchange for all their privileges and wealth then why should the mob suffer them to continue drawing breath or retaining their positions as elite? If the elites are an enemy then treat them like an enemy.

It has to start happening soon, or more of them will likely get visits from one of the mario brothers.

Remember kids

Anything a non can do, A Supreme White Man can do better.

If anyone claims diversity is your strength, slap the teeth out of their mouth and remind them.

And also remember that the "our" in that statement doesn't include you and me, it's about the bankers and oligarchs running the great replacement.

Sry for the non-archived link but archive sites have not been working for me, I assume because of the VPN.

I saw it mentioned the other day that Canuck killer trucker jeets get to bring an interpreter with them to write their road tests.
