    I haven’t researched these specific things but there are supply chain shortages all over the world. To lay the blame at the feet of workers for wanting better condition / pay (which they achieve through licensing) doesn’t satisfy me.

    Even if they cut trucker’s pay and allowed anyone to truck, I bet there would still be shortages and the capitalists would say something like “This is because nurses are getting paid too much!”

        It is a good thing. No one is banning owner operators. California is banning an exploitive model that's very common in trucking where "owners" actually lease their trucks under frequently predatory terms, and then they bid jobs from the truck companies instead of being an employee paid for their routes.

        The trucking companies are Big Mad because California has such a natural monopoly based on geography, and now their scam is being busted.

        Red states play chicken with abortion rights, well guess what, those big blue states are gonna fuck up Derwin Pride's shitheel scam leasing 18-wheelers at buy-here-pay-here rates.
