OOIDA Speaks-Call for boycott of Indiana Toll Road
#11
I got the gist of the article. It also expanded into what potential problems we face in the direction of foreign drivers and security. This is a direction, we might have some hope of controlling.
I'm still trying to wonder how you can regulate foreign investors. I think boycotts or sanctions work only to force the investors to be more crafty and create more loop holes. They either blatantly ignore you with defiance, or lie with greater conviction. Hell...foreign investors are in every facet of American commerce. Corruption is even at the top levels of our own Government, catering to these investors. I suppose we can chase our own tails, in hopes of biting ourselves in the end. I'm thinking of retiring in Mexico myself. :lol: Si Vato.

Et Tu Brute? Over inflated egos are carried by those who use the nationality rather than the actions of drivers to justify their own ignorance and overt bigotry. To say that the Mexican drivers are going to drive or represent themselves any worse than some rather large segments of the US driver corp is just plain normal super trucker asshatery.
