Penske Shuts Down Texas MAGA Moron

And, that's the gist of it. If Penske shut the vehicle down for the protest, versus shutting it down for being used improperly per contract.

All we have is the word of the driver who has a vested interest in not admitting he violated his contract or possibly broke the law. We have no statement from Penske on this issue.

“Penske does not support the people’s convoy movement,” Sandberg said
If you have a statement from Penske, let us know.
 
I disagree.

globalization zealotry is provably stupid on multiple levels.

You can disagree all you want to. For good or bad it’s the reality we live in. Most of the major wars that cost hundreds of millions of lives were caused largely by access or lack there of for the need for market resources, such as, energy, food, raw materials and open markets for the free trade of goods and services.

Since post WWII, and the death of colonialism and the global interdependence on free trade, we have seen a global drop in death by wars and famine drop to historical lows when the human population has grown to its largest. The international global trade phenomenon due largely to advances in technology and hard lessons learned are primarily responsible for this era of unprecedented global peace we’ve witnessed in the last 75+ years.

So your dreams of that going away are simply delusional. It’s not going to happen as we in the US are just as dependent or even more so, as the rest of the world.

Has this created large problems we struggle with? Yes. Has it provided us many advantages that outweigh the disadvantages? Absolutely it has. The vast reduction in major wars and the death and destruction that resulted from them alone provides as superior advantage to the global economy.

That ain’t going to change any time soon and life around the world has dramatically changed the standards of living and quality of life for billions of people when it had not existed before.

So you can try to turn the clock back but you’d be waisting your time. Cause if you want to start a world war where millions die just place extreme limits to international trade so that we go back to a handful of wealthy nations dominating global trade as was the case in the first half of the 20th century.

Instead, they take a childish advocation of "I just don't like people telling me what to do".

As to the American's taking up similar protests.....they are not only making the same errors as the Canadians, but they are being inundated with parasitic fringe right wing and neo-fascist groups and such (as is the Canadians).

Penske has the legal right NOT to have their brand name associated with any type of political/social movement that they don't like....a right of private sector that our resident right wing wonks are always hollering about. So it would seem that there is a bit of a conundrum for our pro-"vaccine" folk in this instance. Interesting.


You have to laugh at the independent owner/operators who are 'protesting' high fuel prices, but spending thousands on fuel driving across the nation.

Of course, this is a money grab funded by GOFUNDME

I think the 'gofundme' was an after thought, but that's just an opinion. What annoys me is that all the fringe right wing wonks and racist rummies are going to latch onto this like the social parasites they are.
 
Why don't our resident racist/bigoted MAGA minions post the actual Penske contract form they are so hyped about. I mean, if they are claiming that Penske has no legal right to do what they did, then it should be easy enough to prove.

Yet you and I, dear readers, know that these intellectually dishonest and dim MAGA minions can't/won't do that, as facts and logic can be like sunlight to a vampire for them.

I mean, for YEARS the MAGA minions squawked about the "rights" of the private sector to do whatever the hell they please without state/federal oversight or regulation. BUT ... the nano-second a private company does something they don't like, they wail like stuck pigs. Fascinating, but not unexpected.

Trumpers, at heart, are socialists. National Socialists, but still socialists. They think that the renter, after paying for the truck and laying down a deposit should be able to wreck it, get it impounded or do whatever the fuck he wants with it regardless of contracts or the law.

I have friends who went in big on start up fracking companies, and took a beating when S. Arabia opened the spigot. Paupers like us mean nothing. When the big players on Wall St. demand returns on their terrible investments, we get what we have now.

An American Oil machine that just joined OPEC

Amen to that, kid!

Apropos: I remember when I was in school, and a professor of economics enlightened the class by explaining that when OPEC raised or lowered prices via production, Exxon, Shell and the like had a seat at that tabled and agreed on those measures. Seems nearly 40 years later (ouch, I'm an old duffer) we STILL have a general population that isn't aware of this.

Very common at all levels on the Right.

Investors want freedom to invest how they want without taxation. They don't believe the govt. should be meddling in their business.

Until there is a catastrophe, and then the govt. should bail them out.

Privatized profits, socialized losses as it were.

Unless, of course, the driver wants to plaster it with pro Biden signs.
