A trucker has gone viral showing that it cost him over $1,000 to fill up his fuel tank in Tennessee, and explained that this means that $11 gallons of milk are shortly on the way, as there is no other way to transport milk other than by refrigerated trucks.
Of course, “massively rising prices” is true for absolutely everything that people need to live as a result of the skyrocketing energy costs that have resulted from Biden Administration policy. The Biden people first attacked the domestic energy market in the name of incomprehensible gibberish about a plan to change the weather, then they started a war with Russia and cut all the Russian imports.
Everyone in the media is going on about gas prices in relation to people filling up the gas tanks in their cars, but that is really almost a red herring. The cost increase of filling the gas tank in the car is going to pale in comparison to the increase in the cost of food and other basic necessities that human beings need to live.
Why do truckers appear to be the only people in Western society with any sort of foundational connection to the basic reality situation?
I suppose it’s not just truckers, but anyone with a working class background who also works (as opposed to doing drugs and living on welfare, which is what most of the former working class now does – and yes, I’m talking about white people).
We all witnessed the MMA fighter from Arkansas talking basic sense the other day.
Imagine if there was a group of people who would objectively investigate what’s going on in Ukraine and accurately report what US interests there are, if any. We could call them the “press.”
Instead most of us are like my new favorite MMA fighter.

… and then going on Tucker Carlson to elaborate.

The fact is, we can talk forever about the reality disconnect of university students and millennials who are still basically a part of university culture, talk about “snowflakes” and utopianist socialist global warming believers living in a fantasy world, but the fact is that the overwhelming majority of the middle (and upper-middle) class are almost as disconnected from reality as university students chanting “fuck you fascist” to someone saying 7-year-old boys shouldn’t be encouraged to cut their dicks off.
The middle class as a body seems unwilling to face reality when it comes to the impending doom scenario we can see playing out. They can talk about it, and understand it in the abstract, but they seem to have this cognitive dissonance where they’re unable to recognize how it is going to affect them personally.
I’ve been telling people to get out of the cities, because the crime and authoritarianism is only going to keep getting more and more extreme. And they will follow along, but then say “I think it will be okay for a while.” And it’s like, okay, yeah – maybe? Who knows? Probably not. But they said this same thing throughout the entire coronavirus hoax.
People could have avoided lockdowns, vaccine checks, masks, and everything else simply by living outside of the city. In Columbus, Ohio, at the height of the last mass hysteria and people wearing masks outdoors and while driving their cars alone, you could at any time drive 45 minutes from the city center and find people living normally.
Those people who didn’t go along with the virus hoax are no doubt more in touch with reality in general, and more likely to understand what is coming, more likely to be preparing for it.
People need support networks, they need community, they need access to food that doesn’t come from a grocery store. They also need to live somewhere without diversity. Maybe it will take another year for things to “get really bad.” But people have already tolerated what I would call “really bad” for a long time.
