California truckers and businesses had their own special woes.
Over the summer, the California Trucking Association actually went to the Supreme Court to fight AB5 and allow owners and operators to use independent contractors.
While truckers are still protected from AB5, many in the industry are not willing to bet their future on SCOTUS. AB5 was not only the assault on the trucking industry by California Democrats who were aggressively trying to unionize the industry and to impose environmental regulations on it.
California Democrats and their environmentalist special interests had set out to crush the state's ports and trucking industry.
The loss of traffic convinced trucking companies and owner operators who were already battered by AB5 and the green truck ban that it was better to just downsize or pull out entirely.
Biden called for ports to operate around the clock, but that's not going to magically bring back thousands of trucks or truckers.
California Democrats still haven't changed their regulations and without that, there's no incentive or even legal structure that would allow trucks to operate.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
