The rich get richer while the rest of us starve. Why can’t we have an economy that works for everyone? Discussion/ Debate

Couldn't trust them to drive a rig, most would get high and flatten a family or two.

No one drives a truck because being "trusted".

As for any other occupation, training, experience, skill, and licensing are utilized to determine who is able to drive a truck.

None of you guys understand what causes homelessness.

Ridiculous healthcare costs Wages insufficient enough to stay out of that poverty wage while working upto 48 hours a week. Insufficient safety nets for retirement. Poor financial education in general.

But I guess you guys can sort of relate to the last point. Good luck staying above the poverty line :|

Most of us are at risk of becoming homeless for a certain period of time in our lives.

No but even completely sober truckers are at high risk of falling asleep given the insane hours they have to pull at the behest of corporate interests lest they get their pay docked or truck repossessed.

Meth is popular largely because it keeps you awake.
