I mean the point of this 'convoy' is to block traffic and make an ass of themselves, right?

Robot Truckers Could Replace 500K U.S. Jobs Kyle Stock 04:30 PM IST, 19 Mar 2022 04:40 PM IST, 22 Mar 2022 Save (Bloomberg) -- The robots will take the most tedious, most dangerous jobs first, in most things.

I'm ready for the robot trucker swarms. They better be electric though!
-
Honest question though. What are these Trucktards even protesting at this point? COVID restrictions are all but gone.
-
I have no idea. I think that the ones in Canada were protesting the fact that they were forced to be vaccinated.

The initial convoy movement was created to protest vaccine mandates for crossing the United States border.
In late 2021, both Canada and the US accommodated unvaccinated cross-border truckers exempting them from COVID-19 vaccine requirements, to prevent exacerbating existing supply chain disruptions. The exemptions in Canada ended on January 15, 2022, and the US exemption ended on January 22, 2022. Of the 120,000 Canadian licensed truck drivers who regularly serve cross-border routes, approximately 85 per cent were already vaccinated against COVID-19 by January. An estimated 12,000 to 16,000 Canadian truckers could be affected.

Didn't know any of that. Thanks l

Those are all just details.
They're protesting authoritarian government overreach.
Anything specific? Besides mask/vaccine rules that were already being lifted before the American Trucktards got rolling?
To me this looks like a bunch of petulant right-wing whiners struggling to be relevant.
-
The fact that unconstitutional mandates were levied in the first place is reason enough to protest.
-
What was un-constitutional?

What was un-constitutional?
The Biden mandates that required employers to vaccinate workers. That was one thing.
-
Nope. Those were ununconstitutional. You know what's ununconstitutional? WHATEVER THE FUCK THEY SAY IS UNUNCONSTITUTIONAL!

Specifically why?
USA government mandates are orders from the federal government imposed on state and local governments or the private sector. These orders are supposed to induce “responsibility, action or procedure through constitutional, administrative, executive, or judicial action.”

Specifically because the Supreme Court said so and tossed out Biden's employer mandate.

The SC ruling reason was ....?

Sounds like the problem's been solved. Not sure what these Trucktards even want at this point.
K that was facetious. They want their would-be autocrat back.
