a. not working and still getting paid via unemployment

or

b. working as a long haul truck driver, where the hours/work sucks and the pay is only marginally better than unemployment

which would you choose? My guess is option b for most people

What are the drivers doing? Who’s paying them to stay home? Unser what policies

A good driver can make $80,000 to $100,000 a year, it would still be a hard job

Food prices are already up

It's going to get worse as we go into the holidays, it wouldn't shock me to see

RC Vikings

Yep, I will be shocked if we don't see lots of out of stock stuff
