Second he is a racist but he puts economics first and doesn't come up with some bullshit argument about how brexit is good for brittain. He’s honest about his beliefs, which are Racist 101 “foreigners get out.” So I am going to stand by my “get rekt you old racist gently caress” attitude.

HotCanadianChick posted:The most hilarious (to me) about all these racist chowderheads wanting brexit so that Poles and Slavs will stop emigrating to Britain, is that it will have zero effect on the numbers of immigrants from Commonwealth countries (all of whom are generally considered to be non-aliens for most laws), such as India, Pakistan, South Africa, Botswana, Samoa, Malaysia, Nigeria, Jamaica, etc. I've got no source beyond the podcast i heard it on ("hell of a way to die" for the record) but apparently all sorts of documents for old commonwealth folks were lost or deliberately destroyed by the state, so old, sick people who cant prove they had the right stamp when they moved from nigeria or jamaica or wherever and their kids are being deported. and all but one deportation so far has been poc, except one canadian, i guess.

https://twitter.com/MotherJones/status/1118193312740016128quote:Last month, Dennis Bridges, who runs an accounting firm just north of Atlanta, had to break bad news to a client. Bridges specializes in doing taxes for truck drivers around the country, and this tax season he’s had to tell dozens of truckers that after years of being able to count on receiving tax refunds, that they in fact would owe thousands of dollars. This particular client from New York owed $4,000. It could have been worse: about 20 percent of Bridges’ trucking clients have owed more than $5,000. trompled again quote:Not every trucker is experiencing tax season sticker shock. Buried in the fine print of the 2017 tax law is a provision allowing one group to continue to benefit from the per diem exemption: owner-operators, the slim minority of drivers who own their own trucks, or have a fleet employing other drivers. About 300,000 of the nation’s 3.5 million drivers fall into this category. because of course quote:In the meantime, for some drivers who once supported Trump, the tax changes are complicating their view of his presidency. “We’ve had them say ‘I thought Trump was giving us a tax cut. And where the heck is it?'” says Bridges. A few have even pointed to the President’s Twitter feed, where he’s bragged about the tax law. “A couple people mentioned his tweets saying that this is part of making America great again, that this is to help Americans. Then they’re saying: ‘But he’s not helping me a drat bit.'” truck drivers more like cuck drivers

Truck driving has been so hyper-exploitative for so long that I can't understand how the industry keeps going. And they've had a really good grift going, convincing workers that they were getting one over on Big Government by helping their boss gently caress them over on unpaid overtime and unsafe working conditions. And it's not like the truckers themselves don't recognize the danger and feel the pain. It's baffling.

Also remember ‘owner-operator’ has the highest failure rate out of any business one would open Truck driving wasn’t for everyone. it was dirty, gruff and basically required stimulant use. otoh, it had little supervision. Have your delivery there on time, avoid cops and your set Now, one of the least restrictive jobs has became one of the most. GPS follows carriers in real time and also monitors speed and other things. Required breaks are a thing, and drug tests are way more frequent The changes made are,without question, much better for public safety on the highway. But how they find enough truck drivers now is a mystery to me.

Until relatively recently I worked for a transportation/warehousing company, and that article has me wondering how well its managing the tax fallout (probably not well). The industry is notoriously difficult to recruit for, has terrible demographic trends, and retention is basically nonexistent. Annual turnover rate for company CDL drivers was typically in the 80-100% range and that was considered *good* by industry standards.

We're gonna see programs where prisoners get to drive a big rig around to shave off years of their 25 year sentence for possession of 5 grams of weed The industry will probably abandon all safety measures before it agrees to pay better, and under pretty much anybody but Bernie nobody's gonna hold them to any standard much longer

Daily routes and local driving is still a good gig. Unfortunately you have to do your time doing long haul, unless you have an ‘in’ at the company that needs you to haul gravel around town from 9-5.

Halloween Jack posted:What's a bad retention rate? Is it possible to go over 100%, like if you turn over your entire staff twice in a year? Yes. Some companies run at approximately 200% (or higher). This does not necessarily mean that the entire staff quit (a lot of companies have a small amount of careerists who stayed on board for one reason or another) but the vast bulk of their positions are needing to filled multiple times a year.

FMguru posted:Fast food is famous for having 300%-400% yearly turnover. lovely retail, too. Yep. Difference is the nation's economy doesn't rely on fast food and those jobs are easier to automate. Trucking is not, and the industry demographics are terrible. It's very much an aging workforce that not enough young people want to replace (and I don't blame them at all, among other issues, CDL driving is an express ticket to heart problems and diabetes). It certainly doesn't help that the industry is pretty hostile to women so that also hampers recruiting and retention. Not too many young women are interested in a career where they can look forward to tons of sexual harassment by old dudes.
