Trucking Crisis Deepens As Trump Policies Push Drivers To The Brink
In an alarming trend, small trucking companies across the United States are facing bankruptcy as soaring diesel prices put immense pressure on the industry. Reports indicate that the national average price for a gallon of diesel has climbed to $6.36, a staggering increase of $2.65 from the same time last year. The economic strain is driving more than a dozen trucking operators to file for bankruptcy within the last month alone.

In this thread, Monbiot explains how political decisions are made for reasons of power and interest, but then justified with pretextual arguments about logic and morality. The reason I cannot deal with most political coverage is that it takes the latter arguments seriously and ignores the real story
