It's an easy fix, (even the hollywood writers have figured it out), all the independents go on strike for one week, and then we'll have the undivided attention of the politicians, namely GW. GW then gets OPEC on the red phone and tells them to increase production, or else, we'll annex them.
Some will say the independents don't have that much power, but they're wrong. The big companies only make up a small percentage of the industry, some say around 5%. Even big companies are forced to outsource some of their freight because they cannot get enough drivers to drive for peanuts.
Plan B would go like this...... We all go to Laredo and block I-35 with a few thousand trucks. That would shut down a lot of industry (especially the dope industry),lol. Or maybe the ports. How about nothing gets through but oil tankers. That's right, no lead painted toys, no fireworks, no imported beef, etc. etc.
Bottom line is, we're just not desperate enough yet.
